To brighten up a dull Thursday evening...

To celebrate International Women's Day, I bring you something a little different from my norm....

And here's an earlier piece

And for legality, the DCU population show they have NO sense of irony... or live so immersed in it they don't realise it.

THOSE FIGHTSCENES. O_,O
I think it's safe to say I'm incredibly turned on right now.

[whitesycamore]

It is never safe to say that on S_D.

I thought it was always safe to say that on s_d.

[whitesycamore]

Only if you're fine with a dangerous escalation of innuendo!

Are you sure you're ready to take responsibility for that?

[biod]

My most fortuitous fellow, I would have nothing less!

[gerardotejada]

Jimenez and Perez did the bests Wonder Woman of all time, nor Rucka or Simone could match them not even Kanigher or Sekowsky.

And yeah how can you not see the invisible plane, Or di you think Wonder Woman just liked to fly on a siting position just because?

[grazzt]

Not even a mention of William Moulton Marston? For shame!

[gerardotejada]

He was the guy who alterned between feminism and bondage, I remember the character Eta Candy, It was original and funny, but besides that I stand, Jimenez and Perez are the ones who took Wonder Woman to the next level, I only can compare It with Byrne on Superman and Miller on Batman.

[eyz]

I'm with you on that. Perez' WW is still my favorite run!

[gerardotejada]

If you like Perez check out Jimenez, he draws the most beautiful wonder woman I´ve ever seen and his stories were so much better than Azzarelo´s.

He worked only on 30 issues but is still the last time Diana had a glorious comic, It also helps that Perez is Phil´s spitiual father (Jimenez also worked on Team Titans, Titans, Titans/JLA and Infinite Crisis...)

[eyz]

I have no shame in saying... I have the entire WW run from Perez's reboot to Gail Simone's last issue. ('will probably pick up JMS' Odyssey as soon as it hits TPB softcovers)

So yeah, I've read and seen it all, from good Dr. Psycho stories to Cheetah's continual return, bad crossovers, attack of other deities, Paradise Island being continuously destroyed/relocated, etc..

:P

I know that Rucka wrote some excellent Wonder Woman stories and is much admired, but I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth at his casual destruction of the rather wonderful new Themiscriya that Jimenez had created, which even had he not actively used it was surely a springboard to many interesting stories across the DCU.

[darkblade]

More flyers should fly in a comfortable sitting position.

[salinea]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

[superfangirl1]

Very awesome and nice. :)

[atom_punk]

Can I share one of my favorite little Wonder Woman scenes?

Pure awesomeness. Also, Batman, you jelly?

[whitesycamore]

As I was skimming the page I misread that line as "I bring you something a little different from my mom."

And I got all unaccountably excited and intrigued. Like "Icon's mother? I'm SO there!"

I don't know what this says about me.

[icon_uk]

I don't know what this says about me.

If you ever find out, please never tell me!

(And as if I'd EVER refer to my mother as "Mom", that's an Americanism too far)

[whitesycamore]

Um... maybe it means I'm just interested in knowing more about the lady who helped create such a fine and upstanding son? Or possibly it just means I was anticipating a load of cool vintage girls' comic scans.

"And as if I'd EVER refer to my mother as "Mom", that's an Americanism too far"

Well yes, that did strike me as a bit odd...

(That's not a subtle dig at me and my frequent use of Americanisms, is it? :P)

[icon_uk]

Nice recovery, thank you! :)

Mum's never been a big fan of comics to be honest, she certainly doesn't own any.

(Oh, and I don't think you're any more guilty of Americanisms than I am, so no, you're quite safe there.)
