That pic right above, plus the one on my avatar were the two best poses in the issue, for many issues. This armor is amazing!

I do like the idea of summoning weapons from her bracelets however wouldn't it be cool that the amazons could do that as well but do to her being the god of war now she is much better. I mean didn't someone write a movie treatment a awhile back on how the movie should go and the amazons could materialize weapons because of their training.

i hope that the movie adapt this vision
I'm normally not much for exaggerated effects on the body, at least for human characters, but one instance in which I make a pass is Wonder Woman's hair. I love how long and wild it is in that last image.

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Nichola Scott's WW is generally a favourite of mine - proportional (no oversized fantasy-pandering for me thanks!), beautiful and strong looking. The favourite image would probably be this one, of Diana standing over Thremyscira on a sunny day. It just seems... right.

Eh. I kinda like the choker myself. It would be nice if the writers would reveal that it has some special function, other than being merely decorative. But I just think it kinda looks good with the outfit. I'm not married to it, of course. Like I said: unless it actually serves a function, then the thought that Diana just neglected to put it on one day doesn't exactly bother me.
I can agree on the regular tiara. Or at least something a little closer to her classic one. The one in the outfit sitill looks fine. It's a little understated, but I think that was kind of the idea. But yeah, a more classic tiara is never unwelcome.
The bracelets? I would like them to encase her arms a little better. The only downside to the bracelets she has is that they really only protect the front of her arms. A bullet could theoretically sneak past the metal and nail her arms. So yeah, at least something closer to the classic design works fine. I would definitely want them to at least retain some gold accents though. I like how the outfit is entirely red, black, and gold. Having the bracelets be pure silver when all her other accents are gold just always seemed weird to me.
I have this issue with every WW costume design: gold or silver. Pick one and stick with it. I like that her New 52 costume is accented entirely by silver. I like that the Odyssey costume is accented entirely by gold. If the Odyssey costume bracelets are silver, then they should at least have some gold accents to continue the flow of the look. Really? Now that I look again? How about just the classic silver bracelets with the gold bracelets OVER them, like an additional accent, kind of thing? That would be cool.
I disagree on the fantasy-pandering front, but otherwise you couldn't be more right. Nicola Scott is one of the best artist in comics right now and by far one of the best Wonder Woman artists ever.
There are few things that would make me happier than hearing that she was going to be Diana's official artist for a nice, long run.
