Wonder Woman '77 announced

[borntohula]

I'm sorry but I can't answer that question. I haven't read Andreyko's Batwoman although I've been tempted to give it a shot.

I'm also tempted. Also WW77, new Batgirl and Harley Quinn (a shame the smell-issue won't translate into digital haha). Solo books that dares to have fun and do stuff on their own

I'm trying to watch the vid at work with volume down way low...but he did say it won't be tongue-in-cheek or campy, right?

I believe so, yes.

[Frank]

He did say it would not be campy, and he also said "Silver Swan with feathered hair."

cool..............................!

[Vonter Voman]

I didn't expect it to be as campy as Batman (and Batman '66 is even more campy than the show), but this worries me. It can't be taken so seriously. It must have campy tones. Specially for the 70s era.

In any case, there's a test for Andreyko. If the issues don't end with a close on Diana smiling, he doesn't pass.

EDITED: He said it's going to be like Jeff Parker is doing Batman '66. I guess he has other definitons of tongue-in-cheek, because '66 is exactly what I have in mind for tongue-in-cheek. Maybe it can be considered "crazy", not campy. That makes me more relieved.

Cool that he mentioned the outfits and that there's going to be MORE outfits.

I'm also glad it was his idea, not DC just giving a book to some writer.

[Vonter Voman]

Also, maybe the "feathered hair" means Silver Swan will resemble Farrah Fawcett. If the villains resemble stars of the time, it will be utterly awesome!

There was an actual possibility that Nubia would appear on the series, but it didn't happen. That's the chance to introduce her, maybe looking like Pam Grier!

Batman '66 is more campy than the series?! How is that possible? I'm going to have to check that book out.

Ha! That's funny.

My wish for Andreyko is that he doesn't make the mistake that CBS did--practically eliminating all traces of what makes WW special from the program. Sure, working for the IADC is fine, but we must have Amazons, Paradise Island, a particular point of view for Diana and a relationship (or hint of one) with Trevor. Don't relegate Steve to phone calls at his desk.

[TrekkieGal]

About time!

[dumbduck]

WONDERFUL NEWS! I caught the tail end of the re-runs of Batman (66) and Wonder Woman. Unfortunately, the re-runs of the 50's Superman show is only very vague memories of childhood.

Bring on Lady Wonder Lynda!

[wagthedog]

This will be the reason I will go back to the LCS. Azz got me to quit comics, and Lynda is going to bring me back

The real problem with how they brought the series to the present (circa 1977) is that the Steve she comes back to is Stever Trevor JR.... she had feelings for Steve Senior back in WW2, so for her to fall in love with his son is kinda creepy...lol Of course, I feel like Diana never would have left Steve and the Outside World, even with the end of the war....

You make a good point. I can't believe I never thought of it like that.

(Of course, when I was twelve I didn't even realize I was "missing" the hint of romance on CBS. But as an adult, watching reruns, I definitely felt the show was lacking without it.)

[wagthedog]

If we could get Nicola Scott to do the entire issue, that would blow my mind. Especially considering how she hit a homerun on the Lynda artwork at the comic-con.

[Vworp Vworp]

I haven't read his Batwoman but part of that could be him not being JH Williams and people still upset JHW left.

It isn't. It's just not been very good.

To be honest, I was stoked for this book until I saw who was writing it. Now it just seems like a wasted opportunity.

I think it will suck if steve trevor won't have a chance with WW again...

I didn't even tried his run...seems very average

but he did good comics on the past
