Are you seriously complaining about her hairstyle of all things. Jeez. When will you people let up?!

The story was fantastic, as was the art. Stop complaining and just enjoy a well written story when you see it.

I'll complain as much as I want to, this computer isn't a rental. I'm not complaining about the hairstyle, I'm complaining about the purple prose that's so glowing it could have been written with lavender neon lights.

Wow, you kinda just proved my point for me. For the last time, Azzarello really hasn't changed Diana herself, he's changed the world AROUND her. I've read previous runs on Wonder Woman (Perez's, Rucka's, Straczynski's, and some of Heinberg's) and I can't really tell any marked difference in the way that she behaves. She's still the warrior princess who stands up for what she thinks is right and cares about the people around her. And to be honest, some of those earlier runs bored the snot out of me. Azzarello's run actually has me captivated and excited about Wonder Woman. I hope he stays on for years.

And you know, Diana's environment needed an upgrade. Why do you think Superman and Batman are such enduring characters? Its because writers have toyed with the world around them, all while keeping Superman and Batman the same characters at their core. That is what Azz is doing with Wonder Woman. Even people who don't agree with the direction have gone on record saying that the series is well written and is deserving of attention. So, here's my advice to you:

GET. OVER. IT.

I've have heard 12 year old girls express the same sentiment about Twilight.

Now to be fair I have read teh entire Twiliight series and its not completely unpallatable. But in the end I can only say I read it and it was mildly diverting.
