Can Diana have a good sci-fi story again?

[AmiMizuno]

While Diana is a part of the magically scene in Dc. She does have villains who aren’t just in magic. However, Dc seems to just keep her in this area. Can Diana expand more into sci-fi like she did before ?

Science fiction stories with Diana should not be a problem at all with the right writer, especially if one takes wider view of the field of science fiction. Diana should be a natural for science fiction founded in biology, anthropology, or sociology. Messner-Loebs sent her out into space the first thing after Pérez, and while it was the starta of a trainwreck, it wasn't the fault of the idea, rather the execution and what came after.

Unity with the beasts is a power of hers that is decidedly underused, and easily could serve as the basis for several types of sf stories.

Seems to be less a matter of editorial oversight though and more simply because writers have not been very creative. Simone for example was able to do that good quality story where Wonder Woman went out into space and saved a savage war-like race from extermination.
Nothing preventing someone from just tossing something in and running with it. The issue is more that alot of writers seem to just be thrown at the book with no interest in quality and the writers themselves having no interest in writing anything good.

First. It'd be nice to see her having a classic epic super hero adventure again. Where she is competent, very powerful and where her gear actually works.

The story back in the 90s where she was lost in space and led a band of space pirates against the Sangster empire was one of the best arcs of volume 2

I think a lot of people disagree with you. The Space Pyrates is one of the few beloved moments from the Messner-Loebs era.

(I also loved what came after, but that's probably just me.)

What would be a good plot? It could be dealing with Eviless

Methinks this is rather on the nose.

She Space Pirates story was indeed brilliant!

This looks great on her. Much better than the Odyssey costume.

It's not just you, the Messner-Loebs' run was really good. There was a lot of variety and it proved Diana could work in any kind of story from mafioso machinations with Julianna Sazia, to Themysciran intrigue with Artemis and Hippolyta, to the amazing aforementioned space adventure. In hindsight I even liked Taco Wiz.

Messner-Loebs (and John Byrne) were the last two major runs to have non-mythological components define their work. I'm not saying these didn't have mythological elements to them (for Messner-Loebs you got Circe, Ares returning and Wonder Woman losing her title), but the main bad guy was a magician who becomes a demon and there are tons of stories where WW fights an evil alien empire, Mayfly, the mafia, Joker, a cabal of assassins and some other stuff I'm probably forgetting.

The space pirate arc is legitimately good too, its in my Top 10 Greatest Modern Wonder Woman Stories.
