As for Wonder Woman's status after being rebooted it's a mainstream it is Wonder Woman look at this future solicitation of Superman#708 (I can't believe it will be late by two months) Written by J. No constancy it's no wonder most people say writers don't "get" Wonder Woman since nothing sticks. The problem is that Wonder Woman is constantly redone by most writers in a attempt to reach new readers no one can remember anything about her it's like she is unknown to fans. Once she's back, then we can talk about what she should be wearing. There needs to be a focus on that character rather than try to reinvent her. So who's with me? Let's put out the call to the "Gods" to stop these timeline shenanigans and bring back the Wonder Woman we all know.
It isn't necessary to push a reset button and start Wonder Woman all over outside the DC Universe just to make her accessible to new readers. Maybe it's reluctance on readers' part to really get into Wonder Woman.
Straczynski, Simone and Rucka are great writers but the title has always struggled in trying to reach comic readers. This might be interesting to some readers but with each issue, I'm finding myself caring less and less. Normally I would support a story trying something new but I don't see the point of creating a new timeline/direction just to have everything revert back to normal in the end. I just don't know who this Wonder Woman is in the current comics. She could alternate between the two looks for all I care. I don't have a problem with the costume change. Regardless, if Batman could make it through when Darkseid sent him on his journey through time, let's hope Wonder Woman can make it through this mess as well. "Let's give Wonder Woman a new start in her own timeline." Does this mean we wouldn't see her interact with the other heroes since she doesn't know them in this timeline? Do they even exist here? Does Wonder Woman still exist in the regular DC timeline? In the recent Justice League of America/The 99 mini series, Wonder Woman is along side her fellow teammates in her new costume. I can't say I really like that excuse though.
If it's just a matter of the "timeline" being mucked around with, that can easily be reversed.at least as easy as it is to change time in comics. Straczynski intended to stay on for at least twelve issues so we're not even half way through his vision. I'd like to think that JMS had a nice big plan for the character. Am I the only one that missed this explanation? Even though Straczynski is leaving the book and Phil Hester will continue using JMS' notes and outlines, how long until we see the return of the Wonder Woman we all know? Should we see a return of the old Wonder Woman? = TEASER = Which look is better? For the four issues that we've seen so far, I haven't been able to decide if I like the new direction or not. Apparently I missed mention of the Gods changing the timeline for their own reason which could involve the their survival and/or the survival of Earth. It was this image you see here from The Flash #6 that mentioned a time paradox involving Wonder Woman. I referred to this as being "Ultimate" Wonder Woman as Marvel has their Ultimate line. Michael Straczynski run, I've been wondering what the heck is going on. In comic books, things may change but they (almost) always revert back to their old ways. When news broke about Wonder Woman's new costume and that she'd be on the run from some mysterious group, I was okay with that. I've been a Wonder Woman reader since the 80s and while I do like her, I wouldn't say I was a die hard fan. Ever since Wonder Woman got a make over and new direction, readers have not been sure what to think.
