Wellllll...not to cast around spoilers, but that's not looking so hot either. Apparently Morrison is taking the same approach to the sexual politics/exploitation aspect of Marston-era WW as Tarantino takes to racial politics/blaxploitation in cinema. i.e., with all the subtelty of a sledgehammer and a veneer of "I'm doing it ironically, so it's not *really* offensive".

I reserve judgement until I read the whole thing, but it still really comes off as a comic about women written by a straight white man.

(I also quite like the return of a glamorous Etta Candy, perhaps drawing some inspiration from Rebel Wilson; but I like less their, again, resurrecting classic Marston elements such as 'being fat = being an uncontrollable glutton'.)

I'm going to wait until it actually comes out before I pass judgment.

Though, I think the Hippotyla/Hercules scene is supposed to be gross and uncomfortable.
