    Default Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons and Wonder Woman: Diana's Daughter Announced

    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/he...veiled-1092933



    WONDER WOMAN HISTORIA: THE AMAZONS from Kelly Sue DeConnick (Bitch Planet) and Phil Jimenez (INFINITE CRISIS)
    A Homeric epic of the lost history of the Amazons and Queen Hippolyta’s rise to power. Featuring monsters and myths, this three-book saga spans history from the creation of the Amazons to the moment Steve Trevor washes up on the shores of Paradise Island, changing our world forever.

    WONDER WOMAN: DIANA’S DAUGHTER (working title) from Greg Rucka (WONDER WOMAN, BATWOMAN)
    It's been 20 years since the world stopped looking to the skies for hope, help, and inspiration. Now the world keeps its eyes down, and the powers that have risen have every intention of keeping things that way. Amongst a scattered, broken resistance, a young woman seeks to reclaim what has been forgotten, and on the way will learn the truth about herself, her heritage, and her destiny.

    Was somewhat hoping it would be in the main continuity, but that would require a lot of reality warping/time travel hax. But it does sound interesting.

    Will most certainly be checking out Historia as soon as it comes out.

    One thing I hope it does is show the Amazon's understanding of gender to be radically different from the mainstream thoughts surrounding gender in our world.

    So I guess steve will likely be the father of diana's daughter? Will be nice to have more definitive wonder woman tales to recommend others.

    Why couldn't the Amazon's team been the creative team for the main title?? Really looking forward to that book.
    Diana's Daughter sounds intriguing as well but will really depend on the artist for me.

    I just hope it's not Superman because that's kind of stale and often poorly done except in Kingdom Come. Even in Kingdom Come there was this sense that the romance was doomed.
    "Excellent!" I cried. "Elementary," said he

    It's popular to pair Diana with Superman or Batman but those guys have their own corners of the DCU with romantic interests. The best that can be done is not making Steve a himbo but a man worthy of Diana who can challenge and play off her character.

    Three reasons I can think of.

    DeConnick wants more freedom to with the character than DC would allow her with the canonical version.
    DeConnick and Jimenez can work at their own pace.
    Johns is currently dictating the direction of Wonder Woman in the main Universe.

    This sounds like it could be Wonder Woman's definitive story, as with Dark Knight or All-Star Superman - hoping very much it will be. Hoping also ..that 'DIANA’S DAUGHTER' stays a working title...horrible.
    COMBINING THE BIGBADITUDE OF THANOS WITH CHEETAH'S FEROCITY, IS JANUS WONDER WOMAN'S GREATEST SUPERVILLAIN?...on WONDABUNGA!!! Look alive, Kangaliers!

    What would you title it I think it works with the summary.

    I haven't the foggiest, but, 'Diana's Daughter' sounds like Saturday night on LMN. Lol

    Yeah...sounds like a really good Elseworlds story. I miss those, ..and I have high hopes, also.

    I wonder who the daughter will be. I hope if both of these do well then it means more stories for Diana.

    I hope it's someone decidedly unlike Princess Diana. Seriously...I hope she's like an everywoman, who finds the wonder woman inside herself, almost by accident ..or in a crisis. So long as the narrative spirit of the original character - the feel of her, her purpose in the world - is there, I'm reading it.

    Don't want any Xena story, over here. No thanks.

    This comic hasn't had any real wonder in it, in a long time. Miss that...hope Rucka brings that back.
