G. Willow Wilson's Wonder Woman is good. Enjoy it while it lasts

G. WILLOW WILSON Exiting WONDER WOMAN for 'Bucket-List-Dream Project'
"Since I've been getting questions: Yes, I will be leaving Wonder Woman in a couple of months to make room in my schedule for the bucket-list-dream-project I keep hinting at," Wilson tweeted. "The wonderful Steve Orlando will be coming on board (and his 1st storyline will knock your socks off). More soon! It's a great time to be a Wonder Woman fan..."

Wilson's last-solicited issue is October's Wonder Woman #81, with Orlando writing November's #82 and #83. Orlando has previously written Wonder Woman #51 through #55 and #73 as standalone guest issues.

Wilson didn't specify what her "bucket-list-dream-project" would be, or with what publisher. When asked, she said she expected it to be announced "fall at the earliest; possibly winter."

I'm disappointed to hear that her run is ending so soon. Although I came close to dropping it after about 8 or so issues.

In #76, Cheetah visits the home of Diana and steve, where Aphrodite is a guest.


I like the art here. It's by Skyward's Lee Garbett.
And yes, that's a Godkiller sword.

In #77, Atlantiades and Diana take Aphrodite to Themyscira for her pyre.
Atlantiades tells Diana that they wants justice for their mother, so Diana gets tooled up and follows Cheetah's trail.





Because of course, Diana's mission is motivated by her love for Aphrodite, her own mother, and Aphrodite. and without a goddess of love, what drives her?

not just for her love of Aphrodite, but Love. Love is Diana's greatest gift. the one she uses the most and the one than enable many of her others. Compassion, anger, strength, wisdom? all come from love, or her willingness to spread love.

Steve Orlando is really good at writing Wondy, though, so I'm looking forward to his issues.

Listen. we live in a post-"Shape of Water" post-"She-ra and the Princesses of Power" world. You are allowed to admit Cheetah is and has always been beautiful...

what?

Given that they just announced a Ms Marvel tv show for Disney+, I'm betting on that being the dream project.

Another boring run, than. Wilson's Wondy was the first time I actually enjoyed the character since New 52 happened. Though, good for her that she gets to make a dream come true.

Which run are you calling boring?

And yeah, my attitude towards her new project can be summed up as

To be fair, most of them. I liked Perez' run and I liked Odyssey, but other than that, most stories bored me.

Diana without love is like Clark without sunshine!
