Josh Middleton on art, that's cool.

Larry Hama was the writer of G.I. Joe, so I guess he has experience writting secret agent stuff.

*Facepalm* DC was clearly wanting to avoid other WW incarnations and choose the worst possible

ok it has steve trevor as ww lover (lol at lover), so it gain some points with me. they probably won't even interact that much

[Dr. Poison]

I'm torn on this one. The art looks terrible from the cover and I'm not a huge fan of powerless Wonder Woman but I do the like the idea of Pre-Crisis Steve and Etta appearing. I guess I'll wait and see what the preview looks like. What could win me over is if the cult mentioned in the solicit is Zara's Cult of the Crimson Flame.

I find this news terribly disappointing.

Regardless of where you stand on the Azz reboot, it's pretty clear that it divided the fanbase and that there are those who miss the 'old Diana.'

This would have been DC's chance to toss them a bone, so to speak - to show them the pre-Flashpoint Wonder Woman that they miss. The whole idea of convergence has been a retro-throwback to an era that current fans probably remember/collected, yet for Diana we get something that's over 40 years old.

Really? The one version of Diana we all want to forget?

Am I missing something? I don't see anything on this link other than the one-sentence solicit ... not even art for WW ...

[Largo161]

I don't see any art for WW either.

I've only read a couple of Di Prince-era issues. I'm not sure what my stance is on that. But I'll probably sample anything that features Diana/Steve/Etta. We haven't even gotten Steve in Sensation yet.

Wonder Woman's worst incarnation ever? No powers? Just Diana trying real hard to be Emma Peel?

Yup. I'll be giving this one a miss.

Here's the art from Newsarama:

thanks! Not loving this ... her face looks like someone has been starving her (but maybe the cult has been and this deliberate).

Based on the pic of Diana in costume, should we assume she does use her powers even though it's the mod era?

I don't think they even know exactly about Mod era, for what people told me steve in that time was dead?

I was hoping for a pre-flashpoint where rucka or simone left her, if only rucka could write a issue. I really don't understand take the worse run of WW and do a issue. But one of the best parts is ignored.

I agree with others. Pick the very goofiest version of Wonder Woman so that the one we have now looks good in comparison.

One assumes that the Batman convergence issue will see Adam West and Burt Ward battling Liberace's diabolical Chandell.

batman '66 seems to be very good; the writer of WW issue was the editor of WW in the mod era.

i had a little, really nano hope that DC could use convergence to send off post crisis WW and resolve her life with batman. ┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻

I was thinking that this book was a message to those who didn't like Azz's reboot. "Go ahead - keep complaining about Azzarello's reboot. Just remember that we took away her costume, powers, & just about everything else that made her unique before...."
