Okay Lane...I'm finally chiming in with my input. No remarks...I've been tired (and sick). And the same old, boring, repeated drivel about the book over at the DCMBs is really starting to annoy me.


Do you like Mark Waids Kingdom Come Wonder Woman?
The only thing I didn't like about his KC WW, was the "rush to fight" trait. His Diana gets pissed, and slams her fist down on a table, breaking it. Yeah, she can do that kind of thing...but should she let her emotions get that much a handle on her? No, I don't think so. And then later, when she's fighting Bruce in the air, she (and Bruce) are so absorbed that they don't see what's coming straight at them. That's not the Diana I picture when I think of Diana/Wonder Woman.

Aside from that overly violent trait, I loved Waid's version of Diana. If something needed to be done, she made it happen and she did it.

Do you like Grant Morrison's JLA Wonder Woman?
No. He either ignored her, or made a fool out of her. There was one issue...where she was seen going through a building, it might've been three buildings actually, and she had a concusion and was basically dazed and out of it for most of the story after that. That kind of treatment ticks me off. And Morrison said himself that the didn't know what to do with her or really how to write her. If that was the case, he should've asked someone who did. I think he just got too big for his blad head and didn't want to actually prove to others that he couldn't write one of the core 7.


Do you like Bruce Timm's animated JL Wonder Woman?
Yes, I do. She's a young woman (early 20's) and has a lot of the characteristics of a woman in her early adult years. She's also slightly cocky but able to come through in a jam and doesn't worry about herself when it comes to helping others. For a "new hero" (in this continuity) she's great.


Who is the best scribe for the super lady? Who does her the most justice?
I don't know enough writers to say who I think might be the best for her. But I'm still waiting for Greg Rucka to come on board and do his thing. And I'm becoming extremely impatient for his "The Hikketeia" HC graphic novel to come out. I've got a lot of hope for that one.

As for doing her justice...the only story line I've really liked (for being a true, to me, Wonder Woman story) in this current run, was the space arc (somewhere in the 60's, before she came back 'round #71/#72).
