Trial of the Amazons in 2022

[Hypo]

It's a 2-part "Trial of the Amazons: Wonder-Girl" - so #2 may appear in April.

No I understand that, just questioning why we're getting Trial of the Amazons: Wonder Girl #1-2 instead of Wonder Girl #9-10 when all the other books involved are using their regular titles.

I'm noticing the absence of Hippolyta from so many of the covers. Yikes.

I noticed she's been absent from all of them as well sans the first cover. Even the family variant.

This and that, I assume, Nubia will still be Queen and Diana will go back to being the Wonder character on JL is why Hippolyta will die since I'm not really sure where this leaves her.

Hopefully that isn’t the case.

I suppose it's to try to boost attention to this book by making its connection to the event explicit. Retailers have to know to order it.

Nubia #6 is the finale of that mini-series anyway, so there's no point in renaming it. It was probably just planned to use the last issue as the tie-in.

I doubt they are cancelling Wonder Girl, but you never know. The delays have been detrimental, but there may be even more turmoil behind the scenes beyond mere lateness. If they do cancel it, maybe it would become the Wonder Woman backup story. This is pure speculation, but it's natural to wonder since DC has opened the door to speculation by doing this.

Using last issue of a mini-series as a tie-in to the event is very weird decision.

Wonder Girl getting specials instead of regular issues and it being same creative team is super weird as well. My wild guess here would be that after the event her series either gets renamed or relaunched as "New Wonder Woman" or something like that. Other trinity members (and GL and maybe Aquaman?) already got "replaced" so maybe it is time for Yara to do the same.

I thought Hippolyta was the one below Artemis. who does not appear is Atalanta.

Actually neither are all that weird any more. It's quite a common practice with publishers now to either pause a regular series or run an event mini alongside, which is what we usually see from Marvel and occasionally DC. Nubia's mini was always solicited as leading into the Trial of the Amazons (it was even on the cover of the first issue) so a mini spotlighting a certain character or set of characters to set up an upcoming series....is a normal thing.

I just wish that when the Trial is over, instead of Wonder Girl or even the New Wonder Woman...we get Wonder GirlS much like they have done with Batgirls and spotlight Donna, Cassie and Yara.

I'm not a fan of females always having to share titles. In Buffy every girl who could become a Slayer did become a Slayer. In Arrow they had an entire army of Black Canaries. Now we have Batgirls with all 3 Batgirls.

Now if it was titled Wonder Girl and just happened to focus on all 3 who still have different names....Id be down for that. Or Wonder Girl and the Amazons. Something like that.

If Yara continues to get a series, I wouldn't mind Cassie and Donna getting a "Wonder Girls" backup in the main after this since we've already gotten something for the Artemis and the Bana.

I mean, The Flash has also been a title shared by many men over the years. There are still two characters sharing the Spider-man name.

I'm not a fan of this situation and I definitely think they should all have unique identities.

But it's not a gender thing.

Frankly I'm more upset by porn stars sharing similar names, it messes up the search results. Jeeeeez have some originality!

Shared over the years, not much at once.

Spider-Man started out being 2 separate universes before Miles got integrated into the main-verse.

It may not be a gender thing but either way...im not a fan of multiple people going by the same code-name unless its part of a program like the Widow program.

Barry and Wally were sharing the mantel until Flashpoint. Same applies to Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson at the time.

Spider-Man started out being 2 separate universes before Miles got integrated into the main-verse. I think Jaime Reyes and Ted Kord are both Blue Beetle right now, but I could be wrong

I don't see why it matters what universe Miles came from within this argument.

But again, nobody should be doing it at all. I do agree with your displeasure for shared identities.
