This attitude to Diana's sexuality is what makes me reticent for writers to approach it at all sometimes. There's a world wherein I think it would make so much sense to represent Diana as someone with a healthy sex life that is probably non-monogamous, but I sincerely doubt many writers could do that justice in a way that didn't devolve into something as immature as what Snyder was exploring.
You just know in the parallel universe where this played out there's Snyder fans combing through WW's entire publication history to find a comic panel they can take out of context to justify it, like they do with Batman and Superman.
Ok, so, seems like Absolute DC is coming this year, so it's asumed we'll have the mandatory Wonder Woman title there (unless DC goes crazy on the batmonopoly). I'm not very optimistic about the future of this project, but I guess we should have at least 100-200 new pages of a new elseworld Wonder Woman. So, I'm gonna start speculating with the authors I want/don't want writing a new Wonder Woman origin:
Authors I don't want near this:
-Frank Cho
-Scott Snyder
-Tini Howard
-Stephanie Philips
-Tom Taylor (ofc)
-Willow Wilson
Authors I do want:
-KELLY SUE DECONNICK, GODDAMNIT DC, MAKE IT HAPPEN
-Phil Jiménez
-Leah Williams
-Bruno Redondo
-Ram V
-Si Spurrier
For the rest, either I don't expect them (Greg Rucka) or I'm uncertain (Kelly Thompson) or I don't care/mind too much on either way (Waid/Mora). But I highly suspect this is going to be like 3-5 series, all focused on Batman and batfam characters.
Bleeding Cool claims it's going to be A-list creators, so I wouldn't worry about Howard or Phillips.
Si Spurrier would be neat. I assume Thompson will write something WW-related someday but after turning Diana and the Amazons into the job squad for Murder Quinn, I'd have my reservations.
DeConnick would be cool but I don't want anything that would distract from more Historia.
I doubt he'd be interested. Chances are the closest there'd ever be to a Taylor written WW thing would be if he did a Donna Troy thing. Since Donna's more straightforward bland nature makes her more suited to his writing style, like Dick.

Yeah Al ewing would be insanely good, but I doubt it will happen
