Is that the old Diana Prince look?

And no lie, I would buy every issue of a series about Lil' Wondy.

[shadur]

Same here. Badass *and* adorable? SOLD.

Little Steve and Wondy meeting as children?... the only response I have is... "D'awwwwww!"

Also seriously digging Wondy's look.

[skjam]

It does change the dynamic of that first meeting in an interesting way.

[benuben]

Okay, this is just adorable.

[janegray]

So cute! <3

Assuming Steve's parents are fine, that is.

[chrisdv]

BWAHAHAHAHA, Steve's face in that last panel is the perfect "Oh crap" face.

I would pay so much money to read the adventures of Diana and her Secret Boy Steve Trevor. So much money....is there more?

[xamda]

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing is happening :'(

[tugrul]

This is so freaking adorable. Who is the artist?

[shadowpsykie]

you steve trevor will be my secret boy!

(I used to have a secret boy... :(

on the serious though, LOVE this :D

[bradygirl_12]

This is SO adorable! 'Secret boy' and L'il Warrior Diana just makes me smile! :)

This comic introducing Bruce and Diana did better than the series, which was hampered by licensing, I suppose, though it was still irritating to have a Justice League and no Bat or Wonder Woman.

SECRET BOY.

This should be the new canon on how they meet. It's ever so much better than the original.

[gtrout]

What kind of gun goes "blap"?

[xamda]

Blap gun.

I finally caught up on Smallville Season 11 - frankly, if this was how they wrote the TV series, I would have watched more.

The art on this is gorgeous. Outside of Cliff Chiang, the best she's been drawn in the DCnU era.

You know, I can get why people might like this take, and there's probably more than what I'm seeing here (I got the first few installments of Smallville and somehow I got behind REALLY fast), but I can't help but wonder: If the roles were reversed, and it was a little boy dragging a scared little girl and saying that she's his "secret girl," would that still be as adorable?

[ablackraptor]

...Probably not, actually.

[sadoeuphemist]

Man, if the very core conceit of Wonder Woman had the roles reversed, and there was an isolationist island utopia populated entirely by men who sent out an emissary to "Matriarch's World", that would already in itself be terrible.

Basically what I'm saying is that reversing gender roles is often a terrible thought experiment on account of the gender roles we have now exist due to a whole host of causes, and don't swap over that easily.

[lieut_kettch]

If said boy was from an all-male warrior society and had just met an individual of the opposite sex for the first time? I think so. These are children, after all. No sex drives yet, and the size and strength differences between sexes aren't as pronounced before puberty.

[bizarrohulk]

Not that the vaguely manga-esque art in those first panels isn't cute, but stylistically it's an odd choice for a book based on a live-action TV series.

[ablackraptor]

Not sure how I feel about Diana deflecting the bullet back into the guy's throat, its just too violent for Wonder Woman. It reminds me of that god-awful pilot that had her do just that at one point.

But, the childhood sequence is pretty cute, and its always awesome to see Diana save people.

Pants need to be darken?

[silverzeo]

Does anyone else feel like we dodge a bullet with Diana NOT appearing in Smallville? I mean, after looking at Lupa's reviews of Charmed and that Wonder Woman pilot... the "strong lead female" characters in shows like that are... not that great in terms of morals, confronting issues, and dealing with things in general...
