I loved Wilson's Vixen miniseries, so I'm very excited she's taking on Wonder Woman. I'm even more excited to hear she's going to be following up on elements of Rucka's run, which I also loved.

This is the GREATEST NEWS EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't be a lie.
Maybe, the WW comic will finally get a regular supporting cast built around the friendship between two or three women. Boys on the side...
COMBINING THE BIGBADITUDE OF THANOS WITH CHEETAH'S FEROCITY, IS JANUS WONDER WOMAN'S GREATEST SUPERVILLAIN?...on WONDABUNGA!!! Look alive, Kangaliers!
I love that DC is putting some of the biggest names in comics on the Trinity books. For a long time it’s just been Batman that gets the superstar creative teams.
I hope she has some ideas for Diana’s rogues gallery and even creates some new supporting cast members.

Sumo the Samurai(while he could use a better name) was quite an interesting character who fought both Wonder Woman and the All-Star Squadron back in World War II. He had super-strength, invisibility, and ninja skills. While he was clearly a villain, he also had a deep code of honor that he would not violate just to win a battle as evidenced when he defied his leader's order to kill an unconscious All-Star Squadron member.

But, I think that's the very point of Doctor Poison. New takes on some of these costumed villains could very well fit into the stories GWW will be writing and it's not introducing them for their own sake.
To a degree, I'd make the same case with Superman as Wonder Woman, it's in DC's best interests to dig into the bench of characters and villains these character's have over their long histories and rebirth/revamp them into a contemporary version.
I mean, Wonder fans can't live on Ares and Cheetah and Circe and Darkseid and Veronica Cale alone.
Diana's foes, in particular, haven't been mined or invested in nearly enough despite some interesting concepts (even those only on a surface level) that can play out thematically or fit the stories writers want to tell.
I'm ready to see more than brief, supporting moments of Silver Swan, Doctor Psycho, Doctor Cyber, Giganta, Doctor Poison, and Angle Man. I'm ready to broaden the her rogues gallery with substantial interpretations and appearances of Queen Clea, Zara, Eviless, Duke Dazam, Anton Unreal, Heracles, Hypnota, Inversion, the Mask, Osira, Astarte, Dark Angel, Queen of Fables, Villainy Inc., Skrill, Zardor, Adjudicator, etc.
She has interesting villains that never get used to use a springboard to tell a lot a of stories.
This, PLEASE.
Perhaps I'm strange, but I don't know how you look at Diana's history of rogues and not want to take those concepts and revamp them into a contemporary story - especially given all that Diana and Wonder Woman stands for. So many aspects of her to develop and play off of a villain, that's not Ares, Cheetah, or Circe. Maybe I'm too much of a Wonder fanatic, but I just don't get how you see some of the raw materials in those characters and, sometimes, wild and bizarre ideas and see that treasure trove for what it is...and could be.
