[Rac7d*]

Same hairstyle too, very long with bangs. Yara and Illyana do seem to have a fair amount in common.

Wonder Woman #770 cover.

The Greek Gods, who frankly are tired at this point and need the rest. Some assorted villains and supporting cast, but overall the big players are all there and it's pretty rad.

Oh right, my money. Because I threw it at the screen and I still don't have this book yet.

On another note, as cool as Yara is, I am dreading in fifteen years when we get another new Wonder Girl and everyone hear is bemoaning Yara becoming the new Cassie. Hopefully the TV show lands and Yara gets some real staying power.

So, I'm guessing Yara can't fly if I read these previews correctly.

I believe she does. I saw another preview featuring her and Jon floating high in the when they approach Aquawoman.

Does anyone think the Superman/Wonder Woman series is supposed to give the WonderSupes content canon Diana and Clark can't?

I mean she's neither blond or a telepath so Jon's track record says that's not in the cards.

There are statues of Athena and Aphrodite (I assume), so they're not completely unrepresented.

I wish they would've snuck Philippus in there, though. Plus obviously Veronica Cale and Dr. Cyber, the only two other big villains not on there (and Dr. Poison I suppose).

Yeah, I'm kind of curious what her personality is like. From the art she seems pretty lively and confident from what I can make out.

[Hypestyle]

not that it matters, but how is she gifted her lasso? is it truth-based or is there another charm?

[vasir12]

We don't know anything about her at this point.

So, here is a transcript of what Joelle said in the Painel and another interview with the site. I'm using google translate cause is too much stuff to translate by myself and i'm not really in the mood to do this right now. I'll just adjust certains things so the meaning isn't lost.

Jöelle Jones spoke again about the creation of Yara Flor, the Brazilian Wonder Woman. “She is an outsider. She didn't grow up on Themyscira or with the Amazon tribe, so she is more a mortal than any other. I approached her experiencing this new world and trying to live up to mythology ”. The artist also revealed that creating the heroine's look was like “daydreaming” and a lot of fun.

At the end of the presentation, mediator Jamie S. Rich indicated that the Future State stories are just the beginning of Yara Flor's journey into the DC Universe. Jones agreed with an air of mystery “It's kind of inside me and I'm kind of learning from the character. Future State is a presentation, it's a fun story for people to get to know, and I can't wait to draw the rest, like now ”.

In an interview with Omelete, who also had access to two unpublished arts (see below), Jöelle Jones revealed more details about how Brazil influenced his Wonder Woman. “On my visit last year, I was very impressed. Everything on my trip seemed very vivid and exciting and thrilling, and everyone I met was passionate and lively and kind and very welcoming, warm. It looked almost like ‘The Wizard of Oz’, as if everything suddenly took on color ”.

Reinforcing that she really fell in love with the culture and lifestyle in the country, the comic artist said that this deep respect was reflected in Yara Flor's journey. “I don't want to tell you too much about the direction of the research because I don't want to reveal its origin story, but yes, there was a lot of research on mythology, and I'm really enjoying it. A lot is in Portuguese, so I had to learn a little of the language ”.

Describing her research as a great dive into mythology, Jones revealed the participation of a great acquaintance of national folklore. “For example, at Future State I use Caipora. It's a little stressful ... I'm not trying to reinvent it, but I'm trying to give it my touch and still respect what came before. It is a delicate balance, but I have asked for help from some Brazilian artists, to guide me and tell me if I am going in the right direction, and I have asked for advice on many elements of history and art ”.

One of the Brazilian artists consulted by Jöelle Jones is Bilquis Evely, a comic artist who has worked with Wonder Woman and the Sandman universe. “We don't know each other in person, we just exchange e-mails, and she has been amazing. She pays a lot of attention to all my questions. She sends me links to things I need to read, and about the political and social climate ”.

With few details about Yara Flor's journey revealed, it's natural for fans to wonder if Diana Prince is involved in any way. Jones replies, “I can say that Future State will be an introduction to a small part of Yara's life. And yes, yes, Diana has a big role to play in that, but I can't tell you more about how it happens, and it's killing me. ”

To prepare for the huge task of creating a Wonder Woman comic, Jones decided to read everything that was written about the character in chronological order and is currently in the iconic phase written and designed by George Pérez. “I think the origin he created for Wonder Woman is very beautiful. So, at this moment this is influencing me a lot, and the importance of the mythology that he put in it left a big mark on how I'm following with Yara Flor and her story ”.

[vasir12]

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing! I suppose this is the natural approach to Yara; making her normal and having to jump into the mystical... But that's also similar to other Wonder Girls. We'll have to see how she really differentiates her.
