I will say that I think Soule wrote/portrayed one of WW best N52 moments (when she put the beat down on Zod and Faora) and in that scene REALLY nailed the character IMO, but also gave her some of her worst moments (her beat down by Doomsday and the entire Superdoom portrayal were wretched).
    as i said, for me its was meant to start with superman and from then they would switch the focus by alternating who centered each of the sagas, my best argument is the strife chapter. by the end of the doomed crossover, for me it is the chapter of transition. it mixes elements from both of them and gives another perspective on diana side, if soule stayed, i suppose the next saga would be centered on diana and clark would be the supporter. but he getting out of the books, tomasi taking his place and the very saturated crossover after crossover thing destroyed every chance of this happening

    but that is, undeniably, my opinion and we will never know if i was right about it or not, cause soule got out way too soon

    Soule. The whole Azzarello run was great, but if I'm narrowing it down to a purely characterization point of view, I think Soules' Wonder Woman tops it. That's 1 and 2 for me though, easy. Johns has gotten better but that stretch where he was writing an out-of-control fury machine is hard to ignore so drops him down some spots.
