For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
I don't think I've enjoyed an issue of WW this much in years. In fact, I've actually been considering dropping the title in spite of following Diana's series for over 40 years. The main story had great pacing and a good deal of "creepiness." Loved it.
I have to agree...this was about as perfect a Wonder Woman book as I could ever hope for! I absolutely LOVED the scenes with Etta and Czisko and Deadman and Steve...I love everything about this. And that kanigher era villain...the Image Maker???? HA! Takara's art is also top notch! His Diana is beautiful and powerful but not overwhelming and he is great at the creepy too. If we can't keep Travis Moore, I am so happy to have Takara! The only complaint...it can't even be a complaint is the Dodson cover. Dont get me wrong, the Dodsons are amazing artists, I love their work, but it seems out of place on a Takara drawn book. It's like putting a George Perez cover on a Gene Colon book. Great artists, but not quite compatible? But who would be a great cover artist for this....I dont even know.
The Bana-Mighdall back-up...this is what I have been wanting for a back up feature in Wonder Woman. While the Young Diana thing was cute and fun (and obviously a set up for more stories down the road) this is what I want to see. Building the world of the Wonder-characters. Yes, I know it's a lead up to the Trial story coming, but still...it was great. The art was beautiful, the coloring exceptional. To be perfectly honest, it never occurred to me that Artemis should be colored more darkly...tanned, but of course she should be. she lives in the desert. How absolutely daft of me and how perfect of the creative team. I also loved the juxtaposition of the induction of the new Amazon to the ones told of in Nubia. Where the Themysciran Amazons seem to literally be reborn from the well of souls, the Bana Amazons physically find their way there. I also loved the way they are chosen and that the ones denied are 'disposed' of in such a unique way.
Now if the book could just get a new logo....I've always hated this logo. It's not Diana, not Wonder Woman.
It's the New 52 logo, when Rebirth started they removed the scratches, to put them back again in infinite frontier.
I was sure they were going to put the Immortal WW logo starting with the number 780, but well...

I prefer the scratchy one. There's something too "Captain America" about the first "O" and I don't like the "W"s.
My favorite WW logo (besides the classic cursive) simple, plain, modern but with a hint of antiquity.

That is theoretically fine, but practically it would either end with handwaving poor writing, the copies getting a power-up later own, the copies not being a threat at all to Wonder Woman or some serious Silver Age level camp.
Because the only way that copies with human level strength and literal glass level durability could be a believable threat is by taking the infinite copies concept quite seriously, but i think it would be very surprising to see a literal wave of millions to billions copies in modern comics.
I liked the issue anyway, but especially inconsistencies is something any good Wonder Woman writer should avoid as best as possible, because it is 1 of her biggest problems since so many decades.

Even then, they shouldn't realistically harm WW if they have human level strength. But i guess i shouldn't have reacted so soon. I know my negative way of thinking will bother many people around here. But i have seen my fav mistreated so many times, that i ring on the alarm at the slighest move now.
I don't see why you have to apologize for liking Wonder Woman and for wanting her to have the respect she should have. Many here settle for what is lackluster feats and story arcs.
I am glad that people like the current writers and artists even though that hasn't translated to stellar sales. In my opinion, it didn't help that we had an amnesiac Wondy that was depowered in the first arc under the new team. And I still think that she and Siggy was not in character for her, but that is just me.
