And JMS has many other great WW stories. <br /> WW was ruined when she killed Max and then the AA(ugh) I continue to read it always having faith that WW has many for years ahead of Her.<br />Daniel Boyd, Jr.Daniel Boyd, Jr.http://dbjr68@gotricounty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-42647582897465911732010-07-02T14:13:39.801+01:002010-07-02T14:13:39.801+01:00I was quite interested to re-read the book to make...I was quite interested to re-read the book to make sure the "separation of the genders" bias that I'd read the first time was actually there.<br /><br />It's a shame when such persists so sharply in the WW book at this point. People wonder why WW doesn't sell? I think this is one of the prime culprits.<br /><br />What's even more confusing is the way the Amazons—usually positive symbols of womankind—are demeaned to the point of becoming a bald, silent, burqa-wearing statue-nation in this alternate history. And I agree, Wonder Woman is generi-fied (and Bati-fied), which is something she should never have to endure.<br /><br />Still, the next ish could turn it all around. I'm under contractual obligation always to read Wonder Woman, good or scathingly awful, so I'll still be buying.<br /><br />"...while apparently having a pee..." Snort!<br /><br />The funniest lines in the book were, "Diana is far too undervalued by this world. This must change." This after a series of short stories showing us that Diana is hero-worshipped by all, which means there's really no need for change. Right?<br /><br />OMG, they really called this "Couture Shock"? (checking) They did. I didn't notice. How demeaning!<br /><br />Trying to keep an open mind, but what they've tossed at us so far has not had much positive to it.Carol A.

I haven’t read WW for a while, this story could be a good starting point again for me but I’m not sure about this direction – angsty Diana is okay, if part of a time-limited plot that resolves, but I love her origin story with the clay and the games and everything and I love the idea of her being this ‘foreigner’ who is recognised by the U.N. etc. I <i>quite</i> like the new costume though, it’s certainly still sexy but not so blatantly unrealistic and it’s a bit reminiscent of the 1968 Emma Peel style Diana Prince – you know that famous image where she’s painting out her old selves, in a tunic? If they’re bringing her back to the real world somewhat, then I’d like to see her actually engage with feminist issues again, god knows girls need a role model who isn’t a WAG.Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-21185751302961089482010-07-02T05:13:45.720+01:002010-07-02T05:13:45.720+01:00When you get a totally radical version of characte...When you get a totally radical version of character, sometimes it creates a greater love for the original. I have no problem with the change because like AzBats or Electric Supes, these usually tend to be temporary changes.marvelboy74http://twitter.com/marvelboy74noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-68519201040290845752010-07-02T02:12:16.270+01:002010-07-02T02:12:16.270+01:00Cheers, you're a gent!Cheers, you're a gent!Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-87313005000329861872010-07-02T02:11:03.642+01:002010-07-02T02:11:03.642+01:00Great fun read Mart.
