Hm. This actually looks interesting. Particularly if Dr. Psycho is an ambiguous figure.

[Cayman]

I hope the middle Diana wins.

[TripleX]

YA GOTTA LOVE ED BENES! :biggrin:

I'll admit, I am liking those boots/leg guard thingies.

[Burning Manazon]

I am more excited for this issue than any issue since The Circle! Love the cover!

[Burning Manazon]

I hope the middle Diana wins.

Yeah, me too. This cover draws my attention to how much I love that costume, and how much I dislike the one from current one from the Ross bondage section clearance rack.

I want the dark-haired one to win. :biggrin:

Should be interesting. We'll see what happens.

[Mart]

'Intensely trippy'? Ha!

[Mart]

Anyway, I love the cover. Suddenly I'm interested again.

[AaronJ]

Ed Benes is a god among men.

[zryson]

wow love the cover --- esp. with new diana k-oed on the ground.

[americanwonder]

Hmm, I find myself more interested in seeing this storyline finish than I am in the storyline itself. Interest and patience draining fast.

Generation Lost sounds promising.

Still, fingers crossed.

[Rakzo]

Shorts wearing WW!, skirt wearing WW!, even 90's WW!, God this is so awesome. I'm hoping for the best, Phil Hester.

Also that Ed Benes' cover is great, screw the haters! I love my superheroes being sexy.

[AaronJ]

Yeah, me too. This cover draws my attention to how much I love that costume, and how much I dislike the one from current one from the Ross bondage section clearance rack.

You're not real familiar with bondage, are you?

[gwangung]

You're not real familiar with bondage, are you?

No, he's not.....:biggrin:

[dshipp17]

Just what I like to see; Dr. Psycho possibly being established a little more in Wonder Woman's rogue gallery. That cover is very creative. Might have to wait all the way until March, but I'm very interested in seeing how Dr. Psycho will appear in this reality. Dr. Psycho definitely needs to be more established over Max Lord.

[SJNeal]

Love both of those covers! Benes draws a great WW, and he's the only reason I've even considered picking up that DCU Online series. I'll probably wait til next year when I can get it all at once from the bargain bins...

[LightningRider]

Goodness, is Phil doing what I think he's doing? Is he establishing a proper rogue's gallery for WW? :eek:

I can't wait. :cool:

(Unless there's proof this was all JMS' idea... still awesome!)

[SJNeal]

She already has a proper rogues gallery. Unfortunately only a handful of writers know how to utilize them, therefore fandom at large assumes WW's villains all suck... *eyeroll*.

Hester confirmed it was his decision to use Cheetah and Silver Swan, so I assume he chose to use Doctor Psycho, too. All we need is Giganta in #610 and Wondie's core rogues will have all been reintroduced into the book.

[Vanguard01]

She already has a proper rogues gallery. Unfortunately only a handful of writers know how to utilize them, therefore fandom at large assumes WW's villains all suck... *eyeroll*.

No, Diana's rogues suck NOW. Because Diana has been powered up over the years, whilst her enemies remained the same. Dr. Psycho's power totally didn't work on her. Cheetah had the speed, but never the strength, fighting skill, or plain ol' common sense to be a real threat. Silver Swan? Only a threat if she gets the drop on Diana.

Ares and Circe are Diana's only villains who can actually threaten her. What has been needed for a VERY long time is to power her current villains up to a level where they actually CAN threaten her credibly again and/or to bring in new villains who are powerful enough to threaten her. Diana's rogue's don't "suck." They just haven't kept up with Diana's upgrades.

[Lynda_Carter]

No, We need CIRCE TOO!

Wait. Wasn't Cheetah's last incarnation was the avatar of a fertility goddess? Shouldn't that give her some boost up the power scale?

[swatkat]

Yes, I kinda a love her. :biggrin:

I thought Cheetah was a credible threat as written by Gail, and she made Dr. Psycho pretty dangerous as well (granted, his appearances were in Villains United and Secret Six).

[Chase_Stein]

I hate the cover but I like the meta premise.

[bathoz]

Isn't that background a copy paste from #600, when the oracle shows Diana Themyscira?

[jason_w]

This is Kramer's best cover yet, and I love his renditions of the old outfits.

So looking forward to see where all of this is going.

[CarolStrick]

Those had better be culottes! The Fashion Police are watching! :smile:

[hunter_peterson]

Wait. Wasn't Cheetah's last incarnation was the avatar of a fertility goddess? Shouldn't that give her some boost up the power scale?

Actually, the Cheetah goddess/spirit seemed to be representational of the idea of "fauna" as the partner of "flora". Therefore, it would be very reasonable for her to have, in addition to her faster-than-Superman/Diana speeds and near-Diana strength (not to mention the prehensile tail, magic cut-anything claws or her highly advanced senses), similar fauna-channeling powers to Vixen or Animal Man, and a weaker link to the Green as well, through Urzcartaga. It's just that no writer ever bothers to flesh out what's already implied.

Combine that with the characterization of the greedy, ruthless and amoral Indiana Jones/Lara Croft she was started of with, as well as a faithful ally/priest in Chuma, and you have a really great villain by any standard of measurement.

Underthinking the Wonder Rogues is the prime mistake of all Wonder-writers; they never really bother because the villains are "lame" and need "fixed". The Cheetah should be MADE OF WIN.

Back on topic, while I'm happy that more of the before-times are leaking into the bastard timeline, I also chafe at the thought of what the writers will do to them. But then, it's all easily forgettable in the long run, so what the hell. Could be fun... right?

[Gaelforce]

Diana's rogue's don't "suck." They just haven't kept up with Diana's upgrades.

I don't think the problem is Diana being upgraded and the villains not - Cheetah was 'upgraded' by Perez and then given a speed boost by Zoom(?) at one point, Psycho does a great job of manipulating others to do his bidding, and Silver Swan has been boosted more than once.

The problem, imo, is that writers outside of the title don't boost them up, hence Catwoman taking down Cheetah, Batman's 'magic' depowering Circe, etc.

The trick to making great and powerful WW villains and establishing her rogue's gallery is being consistent with their use across the DCU.

[LightningRider]

Exactamundo. Outside of her own book, her rogues are underused, and when they are used, they're pretty much weak. Writers completely contradict how much power they actually have. They're largely credible threats.

If people are paying attention to the book, maybe we can get some proper bad-ass moments for the rogues in other books.

[ShaunN]

There was a Phil Jiminez story where the Cheetah (as a male and allied to Circe) took down Superman (of course, this version of the Cheetah was later clobbered by the Martian Manhunter). So, the Cheetah, in past incarnations, has been incredibly powerful.

Circe is a demi-goddess, but I've rarely seen her outside of WW comics. I don't know this thing about her being beaten by Batman, but Batman has been an exaggerated character for years.

Re: other Diana rogues: Genocide is still a major threat and has enormous potential. She just needs a better costume.

I'd also like to see Diana, at some point, take on some of the more powerful DC villains by herself. I note the DCU cover with her about to stab Brainiac.

Finally, I'll have to pick up the JLI Lost. I gather that Max Lord is looking to kill Diana as payback and has now discovered that the Diana who killed him no longer exists - or, at least, is herself the victim of some kind of universe-altering situation. Apparently this is not stopping Max from going after her.

In the horrendous 'Amazons Attack', Batman arrives in the middle of the battle with a magic spell he learned from Zatanna that temporarily removed all of Circe's powers.

Wow. Beautiful.

She's been featuring front and center on these covers so far. Looking awesome in all if them. I love that braid and the guards on her legs.

[theblock]

In the horrendous 'Amazons Attack', Batman arrives in the middle of the battle with a magic spell he learned from Zatanna that temporarily removed all of Circe's powers.

Gawd that was such an awful plot point (This is AA after all), I mean where was Zee so she could do it herself, that way it would have been at least fathomable, but Noooooo! Batman can just memorize a spell like he took levels in the wizard class as well as caped crusader, why? Cause he's the Goddam Batman of course LOL :cool:!

Anyway that cover is the best I've seen in this whole run (don't care what people think I loved WW as a Star Sapphire:biggrin:). This brings some hope that Phil will do his own thing with the story despite using that quitter's story notes. And it's in his own right, JMS pretty much abandoned his ambitious little project to write more Superman for Twihards, but left his notes for the the next guy? Were it me writing, I'd get pointers form what Gail had planned and try to adapt that into my arc.

But it's hard to imagine Dr. Psycho not being the bad guy compared to Lord, in any case the two would probably team up to take her down, unless Psycho feels threatened by Lord?:confused:

[DisneyBoy]

Well, I'm glad to see the return of the Classic costume, but that cover isn't doing it for me.

1) Classic Diana's legs look about twice as long as that of "original" Wonder Woman just on the left, who appears to have a normal torso, while Classic Di's got the "pinched for attractiveness" look going on.

2) A don't especially like that two of the recent alternate Diana looks are getting such important placement in the image (the Star Diana and Black Night Diana) because really? Didn't read those stories. Didn't like the costumes. Didn't care to be reminded of the whole Maxwell Lord mess that started off this era of editorial messing with WW (from which we only got a brief respite thanks to Gail).

3) Yes, that Themyscira background composition looks awfully similar to the shot of the cover where Diana was standing alone, and also looks a lot like that splash page of Di as a kid with the Amazons around her. Why is Don Kramer's Paradise Island all columns?

Boy, I can't wait for this mess to be over with. I don't care for reintroducing Dr Psycho or merging this storyline into the "normal" WW's storyline (though it's encouraging to see them make a distinction, leaving me hoping the "normal" world will go unchanged and be returned to).

You are 100% correct in what you say. Wonder Woman's villains can be well written in her book, credible threats but if OTHER writers what to use those Wonder Woman villains in their book they are writing and don't utilize them properly or use them as Jokes in their story then that is not the fault of the Wonder Woman writer. Like some were blaming Gail Simone for how Cheetah was being written in another book by another writer BEFORE Gail Simone took over Wonder Woman.

Happy Holidays lady

[the4thpip]

I doubt that any writer is gonna touch Circe for a while.

[JKCarrier]

I doubt that any writer is gonna touch Circe for a while.

She's prominently featured in that new DC Universe Online game, and they're doing a tie-in comic, so I imagine she'll be showing up there at least.

This looks incredible. I was wondering when Psycho would be popping up.

Who knew that he had visited Hogwarts and stolen the Mirror or Erised. :tongue:

What would be REALLY amazing is if they got some of the artists from those era's to draw a couple of pages each. Deodato, Nicola Scott, Aaron Lopresti - I dont know some of the artists of the earlier eras but that would be great.

I know. I feel bad because it's my personal favourite.

[swatkat]

Well, let's hope that Vol 3 is forgotten, in its entirety anyways. I know I do.

Did you dislike the art as well? I'm asking because I kind of miss it, especially the faces - Kramer is fine, but his faces aren't always very good, and the rest of the artists have been doing unspeakable things with people's faces.

[AaronJ]

I disliked Dodson, for the most part. Not entirely, but mostly.

Some of the other art during Vol 3 was good, some not so much.

[Goldenboy882]

If there is one thing that I would like to forget about Vol 3, it is the Dodson costume. I mean I like the overall design, and incorporating the eagle into the W was an interesting and smart choice, but I had one major problem with it. After they changed the W, it seemed like the symbol for Wonder Woman was ruined. I really liked the simplicity of the W symbol in Vol 2, especially the way it was used in Myndi Mayer's WW Farewell Tour flyers.

I have seen the cover of issue 606 which looks great, but is slightly marred by the appearance of the Wonder Woman eagle symbol. It just kind of looks odd to me in comparison with the simple symbols of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and the Flash.

That is kind of why I was really surprised to see the appearance of the vol 2 symbol in Return of Bruce Wayne #1.

Oh, and to add something more relevant to the topic, I love this cover and I especially love the way that Diana (new) is depicted. The way that her hair is drawn and the way that the colors on her costume just kind of pop gives her a dreamlike quality.

[Free-Man]

I have no problem with Dodson. I actually thought save for Chiang, we had mostly good art throughout volume 3. It was the writing that was crap, unfortunately.

[jason_w]

The Dodsons and Nicola were the only artists on vol. 3 I liked. The rest got the book out on time, but that's all they were good for.

As far as the writing, I loved Heinburg's short-lived run mostly because it brought back elements of the tv show, and I thought "The Circle" was the best WW story out of the entire volume.

But despite all that, I've enjoyed the book 1000 times better since the "Odyessy" began and I'm hopeful we'll get a WW that blends elements from all her past incarnations.

Which is why I love the cover for this month's solict. It feels like good things are on their way! :smile:

[Lynda_Carter]

I nevr thought of that! Once again Jason, You are 100% spot on!:wink:

[DisneyBoy]

The Dodsons really brought a welcome flair to the cast - and a heft. Diana never looked like a pencil. She had weight and distinctive features. Looking back at how much I disliked Dodson's artwork on the Harley Quinn book, I think they were MUCH better suited to Wonder Woman. Their Etta Candy, in particular, was sensational.

That said, the redesigns didn't please me. Circe looked like a totally different person, Cheetah never needed pants, and the tweaks to Diana's costume were not welcome by me. I fully agree with whoever said the eagle takes away from the stylishness of George Perez's costume. And the belt? It doesn't need to be W's too! If people can't look at her chest and figure out who she is, that doesn't mean the belt should be there to tell them. And now, apparently, we have WW-imprint bracelets! Nope - doesn't work for me at all.

Kramer's art has been interesting so far. I like how gritty he's made the book, in terms of textures and details. The city felt like a city. The greek columns felt aged and weathered. But I think body proportions on that cover aren't very consistent, and I agree that the faces all kind of blur together (not just talking about the multiple Diana's either!)

So while I'm glad the V3 costume isn't there, I won't be happy and buying the book until we've moved past this stuff and just kept going forward with what was established prior to JMS.

[captainwonder]

I can't wait for this one! I'm also gonna get that brainiac story as well that one looks great too!

I'm happy to hear some of my favorite villians will be back. I love dr pyscho and the silver swan, I do hope it's not Venessa as the swan! Otherwise I can't wait!
