THR: Mariko Tamaki Takes Over DC's 'Wonder Woman' This Summer

• Mariko Tamaki takes over with issue #759
• Mikel Janin will illustrate #759 and #760, David Marquez on covers

Interesting. I liked her "Being Super", though I wasn't blown away by it. "Breaking Glass" didn't really work for me, though that was more the premise of the story rather than the story itself. But it's clear Tamaki has no trouble writing queer character or understanding intersectionalism.

So I'm cautiously optimistic. I just hope her run won't be event-ed and editorial-ised to pieces, though between 5G and the return of Maxwell Lord (per the article) I don't dare get my hopes up that high.

So DC insists on bad writers to Wonder Woman... it´s a shame.

[MarquisAsh]

Yeah I’m not too happy about this.

But...but ..orlando was doing so well...

After issue 760, who will be the permanent artist?

Don’t know but Janin seems to be planning to be on the book for a while. He may continue to be the artist past the two issues solicited.

At least we can say they're not shortchanging Diana on artists this time around.

This is something I have wondered as well. Janin is a good solid artist but not one who can keep up twice a month type schedules. Which, wasnt WW supposed to have switched back to monthly with the 750 issue?

I think there are very few quality artists who are able to keep up with such a schedule long-term.

I remember such a rumour going around here, possibly due to some slight change in Wonder Woman's publication schedule, but I haven't seen anything official from DC about a permanent schedule change.
