Merciful Minerva!!!!! That last Nubia pic is BREATHTAKINGLY gorgeous!!!!


So what's the status of Nubia in current, present day DC continuity?

She was on her way to talk to Yara I think.

Nice one! I'm falling a little more in love with the new costume every time I see it. And I enjoy the small individual spins by the artists on it too.

Nubia and the Amazons writer Stephanie Williams reveals in a recent podcast interview that Nubia will no longer be Diana's twin sister, though they will have a "connection."

Nubia will, of course, interact with Philippus, with Williams noting how infrequently Black women characters are permitted to interact in a congenial manner in comic books.

Nubia and the Amazons will be Nubia's "T'Challa moment" and it will be about establishing her origin, powers, and place in history. Her hero's quest story, essentially.

Thanks for the links and for sharing that!!
What do you feel about Diana and Nubia not being siblings?
In any case, this is literally my most anticipated upcoming WW-related book.
I cannot wait to see how her story is established!!!

I actually want Nubia and Diana to date when Diana was growing up, so I take this as one step closer to having that desire fulfilled

They're....they're sisters... like as close to blood related sisters a clay origin could get. No. Just no.

Not in this current continuity lol

Assuming Nubia gets a brand new totally separate from Diana origin that somehow doesn't tie back to them being related, its still gross. The vast majority of people, myself included, know Nubia and Diana to be sisters. And I seriously doubt DC is ever going to try a make their relationship anything more then sisters.

The Bat family boys aren't related by blood, yet they treat themselves like they are brothers and use language that would identify them as family, you don't think its kind of gross that some people ship some of them together?

I personally dont ship them together but it isnt as bad a Wincest where Dean/Sam (Supernatural) who are blood brothers have a very large shipping fandom. Diana/Nubia havent been sisters since 40 years ago so it isn't exactly the grossest thing to come out of fans. If someone ships Dick/Jason together I wouldnt care personally. I think it's just grosser that DC has paired Barbara with every male Robin sans Damien.

Do you think DC is going to give the standard Wonder-fam power set package to Nubia in this series?

I'm definitely aware of that, my friend loves Supernatural and is in the fandom, she doesn't ship them, she just knows about it and all that.

That's also pretty gross too.

Diana and Nubia may not officially be sisters since 40 years ago, but that's been Nubia's tag line since her creation, Diana's black twin sister.

I'd prefer Nubia to have all of Diana's powers and be at her level. But more then likely, the standard package is what we're going to get.
