    It's not always the writers fault. I remember several writers stating in interviews that they were specifically told to ignore what came before. (I seem to recall Gail Simone talking a good bit about this during her tenure.)
    So it as much is up to the editors to let the writers build on what came before and not burn the house down each time.

For those who love Azz's Diana, that's probably not great, but as someone who hated Azz's "contributions," I am 100% for it.
    Again, I hope G Willow Wilson ignores everything they did............ unless.
    Unless it suites the story she wants to tell.

    I obviously agree with Vordan. Because what they say is true - fans feel like their love of a certain story matters, and isn't discarded. With Diana, everything I loved about her in the 2000s was literally thrown in the toilet in the 2010s, and even getting Rucka back on her title wasn't enough to bring it back.

    I'd say she did the exact opposite: she said exactly what she appreciated about Robinson's run, with the words "that high-fantasy soft spot" and "on a purely genre level". That right there hints to me that she's a very advanced reader and critic.

    I was looking forward to Wilson in any case, but looking at how she handled these questions and her approach on how Wonder Woman would approach our society, I think we might be in for a hell of a run.

    WONDER WOMAN #60

    written by G. WILLOW WILSON
    art by CARY NORD and MICK GRAY
    cover by TERRY DODSON and RACHEL DODSON
    variant cover by JENNY FRISON
    It’s a standoff of mythological proportions when Wonder Woman combats the resurrected God of War, Ares! While trying to stop a war, Wonder Woman appeals to Ares to intervene with her, but he thinks the two parties should fight it out and resolve it themselves. Guess dying and coming back didn’t do much to soften Ares’ M.O. Meanwhile, Steve Trevor’s been kidnapped and confronts his captor: the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, who’s extremely pissed. Let’s see Steve schmooze his way out of this one!

    I don't know how I feel about this...I have been extremely unimpressed with everyone but Rucka's use of the gods so far. And Aphrodite is such a fine line to walk. But I will continue to hope.

    It is starting to look less like leading into a plot development for the Amazons returning and more that its simply a focus on the gods. Heres hoping its good

    Heh. The Greek gods makes every lots of writers who come to Wonder Woman go "Shiny!" and wanting to play with them. We'll have to see (a) how this first arc shapes up, (b) what she does afterwards. And having an angry Aphrodite as an antagonist is going outside the beaten path.

    One of these days were going to get a writer who will play with the original ones like the Duke of Deception and the Earl of Greed.
    One of these days.....

    Only if they get Grant Morrison to do the Wonder Woman ongoing.

    Using the public domain Greek gods is beyond redundant at this point. I think after reading this book since issue# 1, I'm finally going to drop it unless Wilson uses Wonder Woman's actual unique rogues gallery.

    Please thank you no, not after the Bizarro Wonder Woman and Amazons he crafted in Earth One.

    On the other hand, we know Wilson likes to fangirl around in backgrounds and universes, and looking at the solicitations, it seems more like her take here is gods meddling with the world rather than Diana getting involved in huge mythological adventures (as both Robinson, Rucka's both runs, and Azzarello did).

    Thinking on it from that direction, having the gods involved seems not so much a step back. But we'll have to see which direction she takes it.

    With only one solicitation, do we know for sure that the title will revert to monthly status instead of bi-monthly?
