Would You Buy a Scott Snyder Wonder Woman Book?

[Blacksun]

Is that seriously Supergirl's new costume? My. God.

Yes, where you have been in the last years?

I have curiosity how Snyder will use WW villains and about what kind of stories he would tell.
So Snyder will writer another Superman book, man of steel? why have 3 superman books, esp one that Lobdell writes? just took out Lobdell and put Snyder

[Jabare]

I'd buy one issue.

He could do a good job. He's a good horror comic writer. Look what he's done with Swamp Thing, Batman and American Vampire.

Putting a horror spin to Greek Mythology would totally work.

[Mr. Holmes]

You realize that's what Azzarello is already doing? I used to think Snyder would be ideal to succeed Azzarello, but his work is taking a nosedive.

[Sacred Knight]

I've been highly critical of him of late but I'm not in the category of avoiding everything he does. Its just that his Batman run has been given the aura, mightily by his own hand, of being so deep and nuanced when its really not. So not only does the tone come across as pretentious to me, it doesn't even back up the perceived aura the book has, all the while hack reviews at IGN and the like just stroke the ego. Deep symbolism and the like only mean something when its relevant to the story. When not its just trite. The name power he has right now, on the other hand, would provide a brief boost for the title, but this isn't two years ago, Wonder Woman isn't that kind of desperate need for exposure anymore. Azzarello's already done the job of rebuilding the interest.

[Auguste Dupin]

It's amazing how just one, or two, average storylines undoes an entire career and body of work.

On the other hand, isn't Scott Snyder relatively new to the game?
Because yeah, from where I stand, 2 bad Batman storylines and one boring first 6 issues of Swamp Thing (the only I tried to read), it's starting to be a lot when you're the new guy. I mean, what else did he do? A decent run on Detective? American Vampire (which I didn't read, but will assume to be good)?
Besides, two bad storylines is pretty enough to no if you like someone's style or not. Snyder does everything I don't like to see in narration. He tells, but barely shows. He tries to pass simple and very used ideas as groundbreaking and innovative when they're just not, and he forces heavily written symbolism into your throat just so he can look smart, when all he actually does is look pompous. His work isn't actually smart or challenging, it's just pretending to be while the same old predictable routines, and if there's one thing I just can't stand, it's that.
Plus, his whole "my next storyline is gonna be the biggest one yet and will shake the character to the core" is being hilariously predictable at this point.

[Mr. Holmes]

If you didn't like the beginning of Swamp Thing, it only gets worse. I dropped it when Rotworld started (#12-13 ish), and I've heard terrible things about that one. And if you read Alan Moore's run, then this one comes off as even more redundant.

I still think he's a good writer generally, but his attempts to be poignant and "epic" aren't working at all and make it come off as pretentious. It can't be a coincidence that Black Mirror wasn't on the flagship title and it's the most well received thing he's done.

Granted, I can see your point about his narration and storytelling techniques. And if you don't like him that's fine and you're right, he hasn't been writing as long as some other writers have. I think he only started three or four years ago. But what I'm trying to get at is that the way he writes Batman, or even Swamp Thing, isn't necessarily going to carry over how he'll write Wonder Woman, in the thread's hypothetical instance. Because some people are unhappy with how Death of the Family, or Court of Owls went, it's like he's all of a sudden the worst writer in the history of comics.

But he seems to cop a lot of flak for his interviews, which have little bearing on the quality of the comics themselves. (Maybe it makes the reader have a great expectation of the comic.)

[Shinomune]

At the expense of Azzarello? No thank you.

Quoted For Truth.

[Mr. Holmes]

What truth? Auguste pretty much explained why that's not true.

[Jabare]

yeah I realize. Thats partially why I suggested him.

As for his recent work. I'm not reading Swamp Thing anymore, but I enjoyed the issues I read.

I'm not crazy about the Batman line anymore. I loved it from 2009 to 2011, now its just okay, some good, bad books and okay books. So I'm trade waiting those titles now. A little behind on my Snyder reading lol. Will see how Superman goes

[Mr. Holmes]

Okay. You just phrased that as if it was a new spin.

American Vampire is awesome. He also did Flashpoint: Project Superman (word seems to be mixed on this), Gates of Gotham (Not his best work but definitely still enjoyable), Voodoo Heart (Not a comic, but it is something he wrote), Iron Man Noir (have absolutely no idea whether this is good or not), and finally Severed (EXTREMELY underrated).

[coveredinbees]

I wouldn't be super enthusiastic, but I would give it a shot. He's a great writer, but I'm not into his Batman right now. I think he could do well with Wonder Woman, but I'd be all, "Noooo! the retcons!!!!!"

[InformationGeek]

Thinking more about this, I would want Snyder or hell, anyone to write another Wonder Woman. I think we really need another Wonder Woman comic out here because the main comic that has her name on the title only has constantly being overshadowed by everyone else. Sometimes, I get the feeling she isn't nearly enough in her own comic that's never good.

Snyder or whoever, just someone out there write another Wonder Woman story and actually make her the focus of the damn comic instead everyone else.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

I think Diggle would also be a good candidate for the same reasons.

Isn´t he busy shooting Arrow? ^_^
