My intention wasn’t to shellack you for saying that there were similarities, so sorry if it came across that way. But I think Thompson’s story, while there was a lot to like about it, was...

I agree with you, I just don't see the likelihood of it happening. DC's attempts at replicating her original role as a messenger without giving her an actual message fall pretty flat. It's how we end...

I don't know how well that dynamic could translate without making Diana much more left of field than she currently is.

The only similarity is that both their actions result in tragedy. Every other element of the story is different as can be: Diana is difficult to root for from the beginning and isn't treated as a POV...

I'd be happy if DC ditched the real cities altogether. I don't think the stories benefit from reminding everyone that NYC, Chicago, et al. are out there when Gotham and Metropolis routinely get...

I have a hard time believing Year One isn’t our new canon, especially since it hews so closely to the spirit of the Post-Crisis stuff, with a few key changes. If the plan was to sweep both origins...

Wait, I thought they were nuns stuck at a neverending toga party. :eek: Which continuity are we in?

The one thing that does bug me about Diana's free love screed is the implication that monogamy may not be a thing on Themyscira. I just want Philippus and Hippolyta to be married already.

The plot's wearing a little thin, but there were some good character moments. I think Sharp did a great job of conveying parity in Steve and Diana’s relationship. Rucka pulls off the fish out of...

I know. Between this, the bimonthly, and all the omnibuses coming out, it's an expensive time to be a Wonder Woman fan. :eek:

If that were the case, the bermuda shorts could've stayed. The costume got smaller and smaller for a reason.

There’s nothing misandrist about the hesitance some writers have had to roll with Perez’s treatment of the character. The guy intended to enslave the Amazons. Sexual assault was implicit in that...

I don't see anyone outside of the comics bubble taking umbrage with how violent she is. Generally, people who dislike the character as a symbol for women's empowerment feel that way because of her...

Her past as a sex worker was also the foundation of her relationship with Holly Robinson and part of her motivation for heroing in the East End. I thought the altruism she displayed in her pre-New 52...

I think if the character’s going to be handled as a protagonist in her own right rather than an unknowable mystery woman, then she needs to come from something. Whether that means her parents or...

If they want to do something with the character other than exoticize her, then I'd say she does.

For context on the UN controversy:


And from the initial NYT article about the announcement:

This is the real thrust of the issue. I think it's a fair reaction.

The Scythians were actually everywhere from Ukraine to the Caucasus, but they spoke Iranian languages. There's a good book by historian Adrienne Mayor about the Amazons, their relevance as symbols...

Yep, even the hair looks like a '90s throwback.


I must've missed those. What'd he say?

I have to think most of the people who take objection to the Post-Crisis Amazons haven't read much of the stuff they're criticizing. Perez’s Amazons weren't anything that could be described as...

Maybe a little uninspired for an issue's worth of backstory, but I liked it overall. I'm intrigued to see how this Indiana Jones take on Barbara Ann is going to translate to the older, post-Cheetah...

I'm glad people are excited, but I think it's a little premature for this kind of clarion call. We're going to have Wonder Woman on the big screen for at least the next few years. Even if this...

The Medusa arc from Rucka's first run could make a decent animated movie, as well. Hell, even Azz's run wouldn't be a bad choice for an adaptation, provided they refined a few of its more divisive...

I like Reis's stuff, but I don't want him or anyone else with a penchant for painted-on costumes on this book until the Finches are a hazy, distant memory. And I don't think Rucka's run is going to...

Even if you hate everything else about it, the art alone is charming enough to justify a buy.

I can see where Thompson was coming from. Wonder Woman doesn't have the same Jungian trajectory that...
