I was being a Wonder Woman loyalist in collecting her, but when I missed going to the LCS for a couple of months and found that I didn't really look forward to reading the book, that was it for me. Azz got me to quit the comic scene, although I think I will go back when '77 Wonder Woman comes out. Either that, or get it in a collected form in case it starts out digital (I hope not, I still like having a copy to read in my hands).
I will admit that it was stupid on my part to go on for 26 months for a title that did little for me, but that was the last comic standing that I still did buy, and I guess I didn't want my years of buying comics to end. I guess I hoped the Azz book would get better, the artwork would grow on me (never did), there would be more exciting fights in which Wonder Woman could gain a decisive victory without help (never seemed to happen), gain a somewhat complete piece of origin due to the drastic changes that Azz made (never completely happened either). I should have quit sooner, I know that now. We all make mistakes
I liked this issue. Definitely an improvement from last month.
I liked this issue (and previous issue)
I thought Meredith was better this issue.
Only felt the dialogue was off in one panel and she took Diana's whining down a lot.
David was much better in this issue. The training between Clark and Diana was
especially well drawn and Diana looked closer to around 20.
Meredith and David still have a long way to go (Meredith much more) before I can even think about adding
this book to my list of favorite Wonder Woman runs, but.......... so far they have not touched my worst list.

Why was Diana tolerating the disrespect from the old crone? She called the Diana "girl" when Diana is the rightful queen and Diana just let it go (as did other amazons in the council). Seems the new-52 amazons are being written as somewhat disrespectful overall. For all their worship of the Olympians, they didn't seem to show them much regard when the gods/goddesses where on the island in the last arc.
I'm dropping this book. In less then two issues, we have Wonder Woman whining like a shrill shrew about how hard her life is to two male superheroes who tell her how to live her life.
Wonder Woman isn't a Whiner.
She deals with her problems with head up high and she doesn't have a meltdown on whatever poor soul is nearby.
Not to mention this is a selective reading. The previous panels show that Clark was pressing the situation, she kept her cool till maybe his third time pressing the issue. Superman's not some "poor soul" here. He's her boyfriend, and he wanted her to vent. Or he wouldn't have kept at it. You're supposed to be able to vent to your lover. There's a problem if you can't.
And neither Clark nor Arthur tried to tell her how to live her life. In one case its a lover and in the other it was a friend specifically wanting and asking her to open up then giving advice. Like friends do. And what does their being male have to do with anything?

It's just SUCH a tired and hackneyed stereotype of a woman who has too many responsibilities and is too emotionally imbalanced to handle her problems. So she goes on a crazy tirade to the nearest male figure whose job is to reinforce the idea that women are emotionally weak and possess the inability to face their problems while men are naturally well-balanced and have their stuff together.
It's a tragedy we see this from a feminist icon.
