Update from Phil, and he says he hopes the book will be out later this year (I THOUGHT IT WAS ALMOST DONE?!?)
He didn't offer a name for this one, which is a shame. I wonder who she is? Looks like she might be a member of the Artemis faction

With this creative team, Historia is a hard pass for me. WW:E1 will probably be the last WW comic I read 'cause I don't enjoy them anymore
I actually liked Wonder Woman’s guest appearance in Aquaman that Kelly Sue DeConnick wrote, that was surprisingly nice but I’m expecting the Patriarchy and Toxic Masculinity to come up a lot in Historia and I’m just really fed up with that. The artwork is far too overwrought for my taste, can’t fault the technique but idk, I think Jimenez has a bit of a taste issue. Ares is a case a point. I like a more cartoonish style. Different strokes for different folks
Fair enough on the art thing.
IDK, I think Wonder Woman mythos has been addressing those issues since the Marston days even if he didn't use terms like that, and its evolved since then. I don't expect this to do anything more unusual than the typical run, and it's to be expected if we're flipping the script on the Amazon myth like Marston did.
Honestly disappointed that there's still ambiguity on whether this will be released this year given when it was announced.
What I'm really shocked by is that they haven't announced the artists for the rest of the issues, from what I understand there will be multiple artists so I assume one artist per issue. Kelly indicated that it had already been chosen, so are they letting other artists work on the other issues while Jimenez does his own? I mean this would save a lot of time. I really hope they are
Scratch that, she said she already has pages for issue 2 from the second artist, so maybe the issues will come out close to each other
