This is a simple yes or no question, feel free to discuss the results. I am surprised though this wuestion has not been asked before in poll form.

I like Azzarello's Wonder Woman (the character as so far presented), but I do not like anything else (except maybe strife and hermes).

I go back and forth from mildly annoyed to wanting to shove her and her Azzazons into Schrodinger's box with JMS' Odyssey WW and shoot it with Batman's gun from Final Crisis, then put the box on one of the exploding Earth's from COIE.

I like Azzarello's Wonder Woman. I do question some of his choices though. The Amazon method of procreation is beyond questionable. But Diana seems compassionate, cool, regal and powerful without being handled like the perfect, near flawless icon she is often written as. The main plot line is intriguing, and I love the Vertigo, thriller vibe the book has. Much more fun than the standard superhero fare.

And her setting and supporting cast have a real zap to them too. I may not approve of how Amazon culture has been handled thus far, but its been entertaining and got my excitement up. I like Zola. She's got moxie. And Lennox and Hermes and the rest are intriguing as well.

The reason that I placed the question in a dichotomy, as opposed to a sequence of numbers, is that few people actually provide honest responses giving a product either a 10 or 0 (see Metacritic) just to be polarizing and have the greatest impact. I prefer the Rotten Tomatoes form, where a product is rated by an amalgamation of likes and dislikes instead. This is why movies that are okay (like MI:4) can receive high marks (94%) yet have few people who gave it really high marks. I only want to know if you like it, not what you would rate it.

I love it. I think this is probably the strongest writing of the character in years; and I love the supporting cast, the plot and the world Azzarello is building. The only thing I dislike is the Amazons, unfortunately it's a rather huge bad point on the run and whenever I think about it I feel very disappointed, but otherwise, I love this run.

[DarkKnghtJared]

I like how Azzarello is writing Diana herself, as well as the supporting cast and the pantheon in general. The Amazons...definitely not exactly where I would have went, but I'm intrigued enough to see if he's either pulling a fast one or does something interesting with them.

I go back and forth from mildly annoyed to wanting to shove her and her Azzazons into Schrodinger's box with JMS' Odyssey WW and shoot it with Batman's gun from Final Crisis, then put the box on one of the exploding Earth's from COIE.

The book or the character?

[LSM]

I like Azzarello's Wonder Woman (the character as so far presented), but I do not like anything else (except maybe strife and hermes).

I'm the opposite - love what's going on in the title bar what I consider a lacklustre Diana and the Amazon shaming (and we haven't seen anything else of what's normally considered "Wonder Woman" in this title).

I voted yes, because it is a very good book if I cut out my heart.

lol.

For me: Diana = yes. Amazons = no, pass the bottle.

[fanboiii]

I like it all even though it's still early to see Wonder Woman develop much.

I will never agree with belief that the Amazons should be some kind of idealistic paradise of female immortals. It never made sense and it's outdated feminism.

I agree with how Azzarello humanized the Amazons. Choosing to be isolated and anti-male should have real consequences or else it sends a bad message. Some people think their copulation raids makes them barbarians, but that's an exaggeration. They do what's necessary for how their society operates. People calling them barbarians ignore the fact that they don't do it for sex. They do it for the survival of their nation, and it's done methodically only "thrice a century". It's not something they do for thrills, but it's hard to explain that point to people who only see things in black and white.

No man OR woman is an island.

[Gaelforce]

Alas, there is no yes or no answer for me.

I like Diana, but don't like that she's more like a supporting character in her own book.

I like some of the gods, but hate what's being done with the Amazons.

So...maybe? :p
