"At what point do we say, 'You're mucking with our myths'?" - Harlan Ellison
While the violence Azzarello puts in his books can be on level of those two, I find his writing to be more like Grant Morrison's. But with the META stuff more hidden in the dialogue and such.
While 100Bullets is big on violence, it's even bigger on social commentary. Everything from class, gender, race to jazz is covered. In fact, it even made me listen to jazz. Can't think of the last time one of Miller's comics did that
And this also holds true in Wonder woman. For example WW#5, where Diana and Zola discusses Lennox saying him being her brother. The conversation can very easily be read into the discussions of why Diana is put into a story where she has a big family, why this won't change her core and why Azzarello digs her as a character.
And while his and Chiang's way of handling the story isn't everyones cup of tea, the character definitely is theirs. Something that's very evident both in the book and in interviews.

hhhahahaa Azzarello is another man after writing WW.
he seems much more enganging and friendly
Glad to see Justice is being done.

"Come find me when you wake up."
Most of that is irrelevant (and rather uninformed). The poll asked for one's favorite Wonder Woman story, not the Wonder Woman story that's closest to the original by Marston. Regardless of what your opinion is, it's clear that most people like Azzarello's Wonder Woman. The fact that it's different from the original does not make it inherently worse.
If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

It would be interesting to determine how much of the new-ww fans are a real factor.
How much of them are just fans of Azzarello's work and not much of ww?
How much of them like her just because it's new and current? Or because they have a limited knowledge of the character as it was before? Or because it's the trend?
And how much fans of the previous ww are missing because they don't care for ww anymore?
Totally disagree with this statement. I don't find Rucka to be similar to Azz at all.
Based on what you said, why can't someone just claim that all the others are derivative of Perez and Marston and then say it is fair to say that there is more than 50% that likes either of those two??
The tone of both books was completely different with the only thing in common being their modernization of the gods. Rucka dealt a lot more with Diana in the 'real world', folding in the mythology with the mundane. Azzarello's pun-filled book barely acknowledges anything outside of the mythological (a trip to the ob/gyn and some cafe scenes, but no real interaction with mortals)
