I like her vulnerable to bullets. But, I'm in the minority in that I like lots of heroes to much less powerful than their peak power level. And I'm sorry but "it's fun" is not good enough excuse for the bullet-bracelet thing to me (and it being used to direct the bullets for bystander safety is worse because it makes all other bulletproof heroes look bad). And I like her blocking the bullets.Finally Diana is invulnerable to man made weapons like swords and bullets and the like, hope it fully sticks and is demonstrated once she gets her powers back. Looks like if it does stick the future writers will have to put some more though it to how someone can hurt Diana
Solid first issue! This was the most I’ve enjoyed an issue of WW since Rucka’s run. I hope this marks the end of the years of filler we’ve had to endure and we can finally get a good run again.

Circe hijacked her body and left Diana stranded in Hecate’s realm back during JLD, so there is a precedent for it
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
Yes, battle is a form of entertainment for Amazons since they are all skilled warriors and don't have to worry about hurting one another, and if an accident does happen they have advance technology to treat it. So I can see Diana enjoying herself in this environment since she once again doesn't have to worry about hurting or killing anyone.
Because it means they don't care about where the bullets go. Because they are doing nothing at all to mitigate the damage they may cause, nor do they express any worry about it. It retroactively makes every other hero look irresponsible. It's deconstruction-y in a way I dislike (mind you, I don't like the deconstruction of comics anyway) in a similar way to seeing heroes get dragged around by capes (making all non super-powered cape-wearers that could get dragged around look like idiots), so a hero decides not to wear a cape because of it (particularly annoying if the hero is 30 years old and a new origin story just now establishes this tidbit). Sure, it was funny in the Incredibles as a one-off gag, but the criticism should never exist in the same universe as actual heroes wearing capes.
Wonder Woman #773 Pride Variant by Paulina Ganucheau
Cover for Issue #773.
DC Nation wrote on twitter: "Enter the Fortress of the Valkyries in June's Wonder Woman #773"
Am I the only one not interested in the adventures of young Diana? I would much rather see stories with Donna, Cassie, Artemis, Nubia...the Amazons in general.
It's interesting how the women on the cover are wearing armor from other civilizations. The one on the left in particular looks Mongolian.
I wonder if Odin has been capturing demigods from other civilizations to turn into Valkyries, hence Diana's presence on Asgard. But that stands to reason, if the women on the cover are indeed Valkyries, why would Diana be fighting them? The Valkyries work for Odin, and Ragnarök is Odin and Asgard's destruction, which Diana is trying to prevent.
I like it so far, I've been enjoying the YA graphic novels a lot, and it's giving me similar vibes. Also, megalodons!
But I certainly hope we'll see the missing members of the family eventually. I honestly expect a Nubia back-up right before "Nubia and the Amazons" starts, similar to how DC is starting/has started Robin with a two-part back-up in Tec and Batman.
Speaking about other back-ups. I think they make it once more obvious that Wonder Woman is still handled differently compared to the other Trinity members. From what I have seen, their back-ups are two-parters and not about them, while the young Diana story is already confirmed to be four parts long by the covers.
That's an interesting thought.
I'm not sure if the Valkyries are still working for Odin. They aren't doing their duty anymore, could be an indicator that they don't listen to Odin either. Maybe they are being influenced by the force that stands in Diana's way one Issue prior.
