WW Questions For Gail

[SAMURAI36]

Greetings Gail:

Here are a few Wonder Woman question I have for you..

*What is the status of Grace, the Bana/Amazon character from The Outsiders? Last we'd seen her, she was ostracized from the Outsiders. I thought it was was interesting revelation about her heritage during Amazons Attack, and am wondering if you'll be doing anything with her in the future, or otherwise know where in the DCU she might be showing up next?

*We know where Diana's lasso comes from, and what it does, and we know where Cassie's lasso comes from, and what it does. Where does Donna's lasso come from, and what does it do?

*Can you give us any info on BN:WW? Like, who'll be writing it? :wink:

*What are your thoughts on the Invicible Jet? Does WW really need it, since she can fly?

*Is WW still vulnerable when she's Diana Prince?

*Do you have any other DC related projects in the works?

Thanx!! :biggrin:

Not sure, she's not really my character, but for the record, they didn't add that in at the last minute. Judd Winnick had that reveal planned from the beginning, which I think is very cool.



*We know where Diana's lasso comes from, and what it does, and we know where Cassie's lasso comes from, and what it does. Where does Donna's lasso come from, and what does it do?"

That will be revealed in two books!

"*Can you give us any info on BN:WW? Like, who'll be writing it?"

Greg Rucka, but other than that, and the fact that Nicola is drawing it, you know as much as I do.

"*What are your thoughts on the Invicible Jet? Does WW really need it, since she can fly?"

I think getting rid of the jet is like getting rid of the Daily Planet. Whether or not she really NEEDS it is open for debate, but it CAN be a very cool part of her mythology.




*Is WW still vulnerable when she's Diana Prince?"

Yes.

*Do you have any other DC related projects in the works?"

I did have, but now I'm not sure.

Hi Gail,

Sorry for asking questions about things that happened in other people's books, but they do relate to Wonder Woman.

1) It did seem that Grace was going to be a New God (that tattoo always looked like Darkseid to me) but when the New Gods were being killed off, they changed her into her being an Amazon. She's not your character, but if Grace is an Amazon, where does her strength come from? Has there been a change that all Bana-Mighdall amazons are strong? Artemis needed the Gauntlets of Atlas when she was Wonder Woman.

2) Will there be a story that connects/explains the Zeus that appeared in Teen Titans and told Cassie about her own powers with the Zeus that appears in Wonder Woman? At the moment, it seems that either Zeus has either been divided or one is an impostor.

Thanks!

There's no reason why Grace's father couldn't have been a meta - so she gets some of her powers - like healing and strength from her dad.

True, but the few stories after the reveal seem to treat her height and strength as coming from her Amazon heritage. Her father is not mentioned at all (are any of the fathers of Bana Women mentioned?)...and why would she be the only Bana with a meta father?

The interesting thing is that Wonder Woman was there when Grace found out she was an Amazon and WW says something like "That's not true." I took it to mean that Grace was being duped, but then every appearance after that treated her like she was really an Amazon...she even called Wonder Woman a cousin or something (ok...there my memory might be off).

I've never read Wonder Woman. What makes Womder Woman awesome in your mind? Why would I love to read WW?
