The origin issues, #408-411, are all there. The next two standalone issues, 412-413 are up as well. Then it's #416 (I recommend this one), before they skip right to "Death in the Family."

That pilot could have caused serious damage Wonder Woman's brand. WW hasn't gotten much over the decades, but the character has benefitted greatly from the Lynda Carter version in the 1970s. She's...

I think David Kelley's involvement was the reason why it got so far. Strange how he pushed to make a show about a character that he clearly didn't care to understand.

The origin of the Post-Crisis (and much more well known, but less liked) Jason Todd is told in Batman #408-411. It's actually a loose origin that's really two separate two-parters. All four of these...

I bought a bunch of digital New Teen Titans issues in a 99 cent Comixology sale a while ago. It included the early origin issues and the Judas Contract, which is the story everybody hears about. Now,...

I've posted a lot about it on the dedicated Wonder Woman forum. It's absolutely awful. The pilot was not only unfaithful to any version of the comics, but terribly written as well. It was downbeat,...

After watching The Avengers again last month, I've been engrossed by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I've considered buying the comic tie-ins, but I dont want to waste my money and time if they're not...

It probably means that she has a short temper with stupid/sexist/ignorant people. That's OK if handled correctly, but there's potential for going over the top with that characterization.

If this name change is for real, I'm gonna laugh. Nothing they do to this character anymore will surprise me. Not after seeing corporate CEO (and torture advocate) Diana Themyscira get bent out of...

I don't think obesity should be accepted without acknowledgment of its health risks. Obesity is a far more common problem in society than anorexia is.

Not every character has to be a role model...

I don't have a problem with the "warrior" characterization, or justified killing. My problem is that the story itself showed Diana in a negative light for doing those things, casting her as someone...

So is every cop with a gun who serves to "keep the peace" a hypocrite?

Almost everyone is able to understand that, because it's really quite simple.

Are you saying that in fact other...

"Bait thread?" Excuse me?

If you want to talk about the character or the story, then contribute an actual comment of substance. If you claim to have "no interest," then the simple solution for...

I don't know why some people find that so hard to understand. There are bad cops and misused military forces in real life, but that's not the issue. Cops and armies exist for the expressed purpose of...

I already said that KC WW was too eager to kill. The story was also too black-and-white for acting like all killing in combat was bad.



In practice? No. Philosophically? Yes, and very easily....

Thanks for the link, RandomFalls. It's interesting that Waid himself says he didn't get WW or write her sympathetically, using her instead as a "plot device."

Reword your question here because I honestly don't know what your gripe is anymore.

Fact, people are fine with the idea of killing if it comes down to it, to protect the peace.

People aren't given one allowance. They're expected to use force if the situation requires it, especially if lives are at risk.

In KC, Diana is portrayed as someone too eager to kill. But the...

What I said there is well within the American mainstream. People don't fault cops for shooting if lives are on the line.

Diana is a humanizing factor to Clark...in issue #1. After that she's the...

Obvious Spoilers...



I just read this story over the last few days. I had heard that it might be the source of some of the recent anti-WW cliches out there, but I've always wanted to read it...

As Red_Kamui explained, Marvel and DC haven't made total reboots of their series. Marvel's just a renumbering, and DC's reboot is wishy-washy about what old continuity still remains.

Also, "OCD"...

I find the discussion about Wally West pretty interesting. From what I can gather here, he started out as a conservative teenager in Teen Titans, but later turned into an arrogant ,womanizing jerk...

With Wonder Woman, it's real. Look up her creator William Moulton Marston. He was very passionate about feminism and wanted to use his character to promote social change. During Wonder Woman's first...

Wonder Woman comes from another culture, and the character was deliberately created to confront the sexual repression of 1940s America, among other things. So there's no reason why she needs to wear...

Totally agree with this! As someone who has only read this old comic in the past year, I had been hoping for this discussion to naturally come up on the board without me forcing it.

I don't think...
