View Full Version : About the Columns!

I have asked THREE of my very favorite WW online commentators to do a regular column featuring their unique viewpoint on Wonder Woman and the Wonderverse.
These people are not chosen because they like my work, nor are they going to be covering only my work, or even MAINLY my work. They were chosen because all three are great, but totally different types of, writers, and they really know their stuff when it comes to Wonder Woman. In fact, I have had some knock-down disagreements about WW with at least two of these writers. I chose them because I think they will be the best, most compelling columnists I could pick for this topic!
First, is Bobby, known here as 4pointoh. Bobby (can I use your last name, mister?) writes about Wonder Woman on a level you rarely see...he writes about the subtext of the stories, their historic and social context, and the metatextual meaning of the books. A look at his blog gives you a clue of the depth of his thinking. In short, he writes for the smart folks. We often disagree, but damn, it's hard to argue with his findings because he states them so well.
We will be posting the columns regularly, the next two are yet to be revealed, but please welcome 4pointoh's WAR AND PEACE as our first regular column!

I can't wait for his column! Whether I agree or disagree with his opinion, everything Bobby writes is well thought out and thought provoking.
He's an excellent choice!

Thank you for this terrific opportunity, Gail. I'm so psyched about it!
And may most certainly use my name: I'm Robert Jones, Jr., but to avoid confusion with my dad, I was nicknamed Bobby. :biggrin:

Thank you, Troy! I appreciate the compliment.

Cool! I THINK the second columnist is in place, and it's going to be a great one. I think the standard of writing for these columns is going to be very high!

Okay, columnist two is in place, one more to go!

I'm excited to see who the other two columnists are, and I can't wait to read their contributions!

Me, too, Bobby! I have an idea of one of them, though.

If one of them is who I think it might be it will be a pip.

Is Carol Strickland the third? Because that could be very, very cool.
Also, if the second commentator is who I think it is, I am inventing a letter before A to grade you for "appropriateness".

I hope that certain person starting with "B" agrees to do it. :)

All three are in! Look for the first WONDER OF WONDERS early next week!
I hope Carol's one of them!
