Who Would You Want As The Wonder Woman Writer For The Relaunch?

[Gaius]

Threads like these seem to be popping up for other characters at the moment, so I'd thought I'd ask the question here but assuming Tamaki doesn't stay past her current Max Lord arc and if there's a relaunch in January, who would you want to taker over as the new writer?

To throw my hat in the ring, I know it'd be a long shot but I'd probably say Renae De Liz given she's apparently working with DC again. Figured if if DC wants to stick by Diana debuting in WW2 she wouldn't be a bad pick considering she already handled that and could probably incorporate stuff she had planned for the follow-up to Legend of Wonder Woman.

At the very least I want a professional comic writer who knows how to tell solid, enjoyable, stories and understands the mythos enough to use it well and can write Diana as effective and enjoyable.

I'm not quite sure who that writer is, but that's what I'm hoping for .

Nora K. Jemisin. Her work in Far Sector is brilliant.

[Dr. Poison]

I'd like to see one of the following take over the title:


Kelly Sue DeConnick
Phil Jimenez
Renae De Liz

Not sure who that really is either given how much the book comes off as the one people are assigned to, not the one they seek out.

Haven’t read it but heard good things.

Thought of saving Jimenez also given he’d have at least a, somewhat, better status quo to work with than he did last time but mostly tried to avoid listing people who have already had a run on the mainline book.

DeConnick could work depending on how well Historia goes and how she wrote Diana in the Aquaman guest-star appearance.

DeConnick might be my top choice depending on how Historia plays out. Judging by what the art seems to be doing based on her script, she seems to to know what she's doing.

I've not read anything by Nora K. Jemisin, but she has a great reputation so I'd definitely be intrigued if she got the job.

In some ways Jemisin would be beyond perfect. A superior stylist who also is extremely woke and a great world-builder, and who is more than capable of complex plotting.

But she is at a stage in her career where she can basically do whatever she wants (three best novel Hugos three years in a row is something never before achieved, and it's not like she faced weak opposition), and I don't see her wanting to do the grind of two issues a month. I can also see a similar thing happening with her as with Wilson, where the strong vision that writers of that caliber can provide (a) provide whiplash for the readers, (b) is torn apart by editorial demands on story events and crossovers.

What I think I'd like to see most of all is a writer who can bring some levity back to Wonder Woman, who gets to write their story free from strict editorial constraints, and who is ready to discuss the interaction between Wonder Woman and the world, and perhaps is starting out their writing career, just as Miller did when he wrote DKR or Pérez did when he started his run of Wonder Woman. And who can bring back the kink to Wonder Woman without kink-shaming.

The name I'd toss out here is Ursula Vernon.

I second this emotion.

Jemisin's work is absolutely brilliant. Far Sector is my favorite DC comic in years. So many people are sleeping on it, but Jemisin and Jamal Campbell are doing some of the best comic book work I've seen in decades.

EDIT: And Jemisin just won the MacArthur Genius Fellowship: https://www.macfound.org/programs/fellows/

I've heard a lot of good things about Far Sector. I intend to get it once it comes out in trade.

Phil Jiminez is my pick.
