Are you suggesting I should write "barbarian take" instead, given that she reminded me a bit about Slaine? To me she came of as quite a warrior in the rebirth issues. She's smiling holding a sword on two covers in a row, and on the page she smiled as she built a pile of bodies which she then stood upon. Seems to me the warrior wonder woman is what they're going for.
But then. They're also only two issues in. Perhaps she'll show more sides later on.

Cool concept. They're really digging into a lot of the world's various myths and folklore here. Nice change up from all the Greek stuff.
I wonder if Barbara created these things, or she came across them and they started worshiping her? Or are they already in the jungles of Urzkartaga, and these are the natural inhabitants (among other horrors)? It's going to be interesting to see how the kidnapped village daughters plot ties into this. Sacrifices to Urzkartaga and/or his predatory Hyena men?
Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Lovely issue and enjoyed it very much, I do agree the pace was kind of slow so hopefully it picks up but this wayyyyy better than the Finch run 100%.

Yeah, this was way too decompressed for me. I've been trying to get into Wonder Woman for years and this doesn't seem like the entry point for me. Luckily I'm wanting to trim down the numbers of titles I'm getting anyway.
Finally got my copy and WHOO! but that art was gorgeous! I stopped reading N52 WW at #21 and from what I've skimmed, I didn't miss anything. Now, FINALLY, I feel incentive to spend money on Wonder Woman again, which makes me so happy! Granted, the decompression was there, but I expected that when it was announced that the title would be bi-monthly. Doesn't even COMPARE to having to wait 30 days for 3 minutes of reading! Loving Cheetah's new look, loving Diana's new look (tweaked classic that actually DOESN'T Look like an american flag one-piece) and definitely loving that Rucka is back. Add to that that Wonder Woman will get to interact with HER OWN supporting cast rather than a bunch of new characters soved down my throat, and I am ONE HAPPY WW FAN!!! All in all I'd say it was a solid 8/10. Not perfect, but so much closer than we've been in a LOOOOONG TIME. Now we just need to shuffle the sword and shield to the background or for "planet-busting" threats and really showcase the lasso and bracelets. Then I'd be at 12/10!
