    Haven't heard of those three, but excited nonetheless!

    It seems like Giganta will be taking either Diana's or Grail's side. Really like that they included her!

    Lupacchino's art is pretty wonderful. Great scoop.

    James Robinson is returning to DC to write Wonder Woman and he's bringing Giganta with him??? That is awesome! Grail is the icing on this cake! I'm also excited to finally see Jason and why he was hidden.

    Wait, why do you guys think Grail is apart of this?

    Either way, this is very exciting. Nice to see James Robinson back at DC.

    But, the article mentions
    The new trio's run is scheduled to run for six issues, from September to December.
    What happens after issue #36?

    I am incredibly excited for this, but the fact that this is only slated for six issues is suspect.

    Maybe one or two members of the creative team will change, maybe this is just a holdover until the writer that they want is available, maybe they're waiting out sales.

    Maybe Jason is the new Nubia? Also made of clay, brought to life by Zeus.

    Robinson has been hit-or-miss for me in the past. Cry For Justice is still one of the worst comics ever written, let's not forget. But still? He's done good work in the past and I'm hoping DC and WB have a newfound appreciation for Diana after her movie did so well. So I'm going to assume that they know what they're doing.

    LOVE Emanuella Lupacchino's art! She's the real selling point for me. She's done great things with Starfire, Supergirl, and now she gets to draw the greatest female icon in comics, so I'm expecting great things from her.

    So, one classic Wonder-rogue confirmed? Excellent! Looking forward to seeing what this team can do with Giganta. Very curious to see how the Jason concept is finally used. If it means more chances to build up Grail as a credible Wonder Woman villain, then I'm all for it.

    All-in-all? Pretty happy with this news!
    Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    I got scared there with that Bryan Hitch cover (BARF)

    James Robinson (This could be good, and I love what he did with the Earth 2 Version, or atleast what he attempted to do. *Wonders*)
    Emanuela Lupacchino is a good artist
    Carlos Pagulyan Never heard of him.

    I know. I feared for the worst.

    Eh, I don't care about the Jason plot/Darkseid War but Giganta is cool! Maybe I'll check it out.

    I don't think I've read any of Robinsons' works, are they good?

    Yeah, he's way variable. In the New Krypton period for instance, his Jimmy Olsen stuff was cool, the Atlas (and Krypto) storyline solid. The Captain Atom backups ... pretty meh. But the Mon-El and Guardian stuff was pretty decent, and oddly more interesting than Rucka's Nightwing and Flamebird storyline running parallel. Rucka and Robinson were co-writers on "World of New Krypton", though, right? That was a solid book.

    I thought his "Dick Grayson Batman"/Supergirl Justice League had cool concepts. Conversely I thought everything he touched related to Green Arrow was a total disaster.

    I was having trouble thinking of the last DC thing he did that I read, but it popped into my head - the Not Quite New 52 "The Shade" maxi-series. That was a damn fine series.
