I grew up reading WW, Supes, Bats, Spidey, and X-Men.
I miss the good stories of Wonder Woman.
Are there any recent trades that collect good Wonder Woman arcs?

Then maybe you should start a petition calling for Gail Simone's removal from the book.

Harsh.
Gail's run is far from perfect and far from her best work but it's okay. I have to say though, that apart from a few sparks here and there ... I haven't really been excited about the Wonder Woman book for a while. I miss the Rucka and Jiminez stuff.
I really enjoyed Wonder Woman's appearance in Manhunter though.

Gail just spanked this ass clown in a YBS thread for trolling. This is his cowardly little way of trying to get her back. Its amazing how it takes a keyboard and the internet to make some people brave.

Go back and read again, I'm pretty sure I told her the same thing you're reading here.

The constant delays will do it anyways.

It will be fine. If you can give Gail a chance from the more recent things she has done with the title, you can be damn skippy it will be interesting. WW is one of the guilty pleasures I pick up every 2 months or so, for issues I missed out on.
She is trying and doing well so far at making DC's preeminent heroine the title it should be. If it wasn't for her recent work on Secret Six, I wouldn't bothered following it personally as a guy, but I still buy this title for the recent Rise of the Olympian storyline. Gail has a good grasp on the characters she writes, and the artists have a solid vision on ow they are best illustrated. Give it a shot at least. The current writer/artist/color team are better than anything I may have thumbed through from before on a comic stand.
So far, even if it may be an occasional thumb-through for some, it is well worth it the way it is heading in the long run. Gail has a pretty good style, and prior to a few months ago, I may have thought it was a passover title like years past. If you have a couple extra dollars to spend, this book is worth it to see how it has developed overtime. You could easily blow your cash on another title. At least this one delivers issue to issue when read unlike some other DC titles in how it plays out in the long run.

Thank you.
I tweaked my initial message a little bit, but the overall conveyance is still the same. With Simone's writing, there isn't any reason it shouldn't be top shelf or top seller for DC title wise. Too many Marvel writer put out crap month after month, and some Dc writer put out hit or miss crapola while walking over each other time and time again in various stories they have running at the same time. At least the writer of this title tries to make it engaging for new readers who may pass over it. And barring me being accused of absolute fanwankery on a personal level. I wasn't a Simone fan until pretty recently, do to exposure and the stories she penned so far, even if IU admired the effort put forth to make whatever heros or anti-heroes interesting at the time. At first, I wasn't grabbed. I heard plenty of good things about certain titles, but eventually persistence won through. The thing I can always respect is the writer putting a more human and understanding element to whomever they may be writing at the time, even if it might just be comics which are pretty far out themselves.
It sometime takes a lil' bit to click with me initially, but when it does, it sticks for a good amount of time as my appreciation grows for whatever creative team on that respective title month after month while I buy it.

What delay?
My first issue was moved from issue THIRTEEN to issue FOURTEEN, by DC, for reasons having nothing to do with scripts being late (for the record, the artist had injured his hand).
That's it. The book still came out on time, but our first issue started one issue later, even though the issue was completed on time.
Every other issue has come out faithfully each month, no fill-ins, no breaks, no guest writers, no co-writers, no nothing. Nineteen issues and counting, one a month, and we're ahead enough that no fill-ins are scheduled or necessary.
What 'constant delays' are you talking about?
The ones in your mind?

Stop bringing facts into the argument, Gail...
Sheesh, it astounds me how some 'fans' get so bent out of shape about things that they go completely 'round the twist. Thanks to DanCMH for the tip-off about this joker - I expect this thread to be closed by the time I check in again in the morning... :rolleyes:

Maybe he's referencing the Heinberg delays.

Trolls have minds?

Of course he is. Except he's deliberately confusing the two to cause trouble. Or he doesn't CARE about the actual facts enough to check what he's talking about.

Delays? Delays aren't the problem.
The book's an utter snore, that's the problem.
