    Default If You Started Reading Wonder Woman w/Azzarello's Run....

    I brought this question up in a different thread but I think it deserves it's own thread. I'm curious to know, for those of you who first started reading about Wonder Woman with Azzarello's run, are you currently reading any books where she is a main character because of her appearing in that book? Current books that Diana is a main character in include(but may not be limited to):


    Wonder Woman
    Superman/Wonder Woman
    Justice League
    Justice League of America
    Wonder Woman '77
    The Legend of Wonder Woman
    DC Bombshells


    This thread is not meant to slam anyone who started reading Wonder Woman with Azz's run but more so to see if he inspired anyone to become a fan of the character without his direct involvement. Either way, there is nothing wrong with your choice.
    Currently(or soon to be) Reading: Absolute Power, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Birds of Prey, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Justice Society of America, Shazam, Titans, & Wonder Woman.

    While I did not start with Azzarello it's my favourite version.

    Wonder Woman: and here we have my least favourite version...
    Superman/Wonder Woman, Justice League, Justice League of America: I have currently no interest in books that deal with the larger DCU.
    The Legend of Wonder Woman: This I will get the eventual trade/hardcover for.
    DC Bombshells: Wasn't this a series of cheesecake statuettes? Not the best calling card...

    And you forgot Morrison's book, which I have on pre-order.

    As someone who started with JMS', but definitely did love Azzarello's run... He definitely got me more interested in the character, but I could tell that the Finchs were gonna be crap, so I avoided that. I'm enjoying her in Justice League, but not reading it for her (it's only recently that she became more than a placeholder, anyway). I am, however, mostly reading Superman/Wonder Woman FOR her, and probably did only start reading it because of Azzarello's run (and because Charles Soule was dope). Tomasi needs to takeover the main book.

    I'm not avoiding the other books because of her, but more, I read too much as it is and haven't heard anything too exceptional about them.

    Where did you pre-order it from and when will you get it? The sooner I can get it, outside the US, is sometime in May but I REALLY want to get mine sooner that that

    oh no, he is really bad writing wonder woman.


    I started reading with azzarello, then i made my way to rucka and simone runs.
    SMWW is a waste of time, because WW is only there to show how awesome superman is.
    I read legend of wonder woman, it is pretty good with excelent art (reminds me of chiang art)

    bombshells I will probably get back to it, the story is good and art too (love some laura braga art)

    the current run is unreadable

    I liked that book but it has been cancelled for a few months now.

    See, I completely disagree about Superman/Wonder Woman. If anything, Truth had Clark turned into an egotistical brat who couldn't handle how Diana was better at taking care of herself than he was.

    still doesn't make Tomasi wonder woman any great character.

    It's pretty simple.

    No one should say "You did not read the initial "New52" run. Are you a fan?". It doesn't make much sense.

    As for everything that's going right now, no. Not reading any of it. Give me a really good run with really good writing and almost no editorial meddling, and we can talk. Otherwise, it probably won't do the character or the writer's work much justice.
