All of the talk about who is taking over after Cloonrad...do we know for sure they are leaving?

Their run is a bit of wet fart so people naturally are kinda expecting it.

Oh no, not her. None of the writers that have taken over her stories in the last 2 years know how to explore political or philosohical stories. They just don't. Everything they do is like a pamphlet you throw in the trash.
If you want someone that can write political and philosophical ideas in a compelling action comic, it's Si Spurrier, that already wrote Diana in Justice League, and is the current writer of Legion of X (and wrote Way of X).
This run is more or less consistent, and frankly that's all that really matters. It may not be the best WW run, but it still has plenty of merit. There are some things I myself would change but not much really.
How does anyone feel that New Frontier Wonder Woman was a influence to Cloonan and Conrad current Wonder Woman series? Her moral compass being self-defined?

Much like the main run, Tini Howard's World Without a Justice League story was...fine. I did think she did a really good job with the Amazons/Themyscira but Diana was just kinda there.
I don't think it'll be her though. I think they know they need to inject some new energy into the line and I really doubt they'd go with a D-list writer who hasn't done anything that's generated any hype. Josie Campbell feels much more likely given the fact that she doesn't have another ongoing at the moment and New Champion of Shazam got lots of acclaim (and speaking of which, Doc Shaner as the regular artist would also be amazing but that's probably a pipe dream...).
I would legitimately pay double what I pay for an issue now for a Si Spurrier run but I don't think he'd sign up for it. Then again I wouldn't have thought he'd sign up to write X-Men either so who knows.
I love New Frontier Wonder Woman (both her design and characterization), and if I were to write her it's probably the take I'd most heavily draw from as well. But I honestly don't see any of her in Cloonrad's take. She's barely interacted with anyone who's not an Amazon, a superhero/villain, or a member of her crew in the entire run so it's not like we've seen her empowering the oppressed, and there's never any sense that she's making moral choices because she kinda just...acts.
Considering the two characters driving the scene are an immortal Amazon goddess and a super-powered alien, I'm not sure why historical accuracy is a terrible concern.
Yeah the Cloonrad era will be over after issue 800. Hopefully whoever they pick to take over can get people excited, I’m rooting for Si Spurrier to get the gig.

Snort laughing at the hype of "The Titans are replacing the JL" for the Titans book and "the return of the JL" being visible on the brightened timeline.
Hopefully a good WW creative team, rest of the Dawn of the DC is shaping up to be pretty underwhelming.
