I like chokers--- but maybe not on Diana... it's such a classically "Black Canary" thing for me that it's an off look for Diana... Plus a lot of folks complain about the "fussiness" of her classic look-- to me, the choker on top of the detailed belt on top of the strappy arms, etc--- it's like one thing too many.
I've never been a fan of the strained "headband" tiara.... the Odyssey and 52 (Lee versions) "tiaras" are horrible. Plus can't be used as any sort of weapon. Lets pile swords and spears and corkscrews popping out of her bracelets, but let's not use the weapons she's had for years... I think the visual weight of her correct tiara also helps balance her look...
I'm mixed on the color of the bracelets.... I've never been a fan of the gold ones-- ever (even for the TV show) The gold tends to be too close in value to her skin color, so visually they disappear (also my problem with the =w= emblem going right to the top of her bodice without the red along the top-- you loose the framing of the emblem and she looks topless...lol) I don't mind the silver. It actually reads (in comics) close to white-- which picks up the white of the stars or stripes on the boots. If neither was acceptable, I'd rather they go back to the dark pre Crisis bracelets. The Nu52 costume is all uniformly colored, but then the lasso sticks out as odd (since she almost never uses it, I guess it doesn't matter...) I prefer the gold-- tiara, emblem, belt, lasso. Oddly, the use of silver as her accent color (52) makes her look more patriotic now than ever (she's all red "white" and blue!) lol
But yes-- those Odussey bracelets were stupid from the start. Useless from all but one angle. Too "fancy" with all the setailing, etc (which would make controlling the ricochet really difficult) and the idea that she punched people and left her mark? *sigh* ONE-- you're crack someone's skull if you did that TWO-- the emblems were on her forarms, not her fists.... did anyone think that through?
...and full agreement on Scott being a premiere WW artist.... would still welcome that any day.

I have to agree her N52 costume looks more like the American flag because it's to dark and the silver combined looks like American flag.
Where is that coloring book image from and why does it look so familiar? Is there a picture of the cover?
This costume "Wonder Pocahontas" is wearing looks amazing.
Really like those images of Wonder Woman.
