Should I bother with Barda?

I have not read any of her comics, but was hoping to (when I get some money), but from what I have read I have to wonder why bother? 
  In a lot of these battles people have said that she is like Wonder Woman but a bit weaker when it comes to fighting. I know a lot of you are going to say you are just judging her because they are both similar when it comes to powers. Take Superman and Captain Marvel (the Dc version). The thing is they are different in many ways Billy is a child who gets his powers when he says Shazam! Superman has his 24/7. They even have different personalities, looking at Billy and Clark's background could not be any different. This causes them to use their powers in very different ways. The same can be said with many of the heroes and villains in comics who share the same powers. But with Barda and Diana they are very similar. Both women come from a warriors background. Both are the strongest, and most beautiful in their world. The only difference is Diana was born from the Earth, where Barda was born from a mother and a father. Though the 52 changed Diana's background, so the two have even more similarities.  
  The other thing is the two women look a like. When in normal Earth clothes I'm not able to tell the difference between them (unless they stand right next to each other). 

They even love red.

Barda and Diana could not be more different. Anyone who says they're alike doesn't know what they're talking about.

Barda is great. If I had to compare her to another character it would be Lady Sif not Wonder Woman.

Yeah, who would want to bother with Kirby's New Gods.

From wha@Blood1991: From what people have said in battles Sif is a step down from WW. Though I love Sif and thin its the other way around. =/ 

@Billy Batson: What issue should I start with then?

Barda and Wonder Woman have some similarities, but are completely different.

Barda was born to be the greatest of all the Female Furies, but unlike all the other children her mother had, Barda was conceived with a man her mother loved, which us hinted to be the reason Barda can as well. She is just fun to watch when she does her thing. And wonderfully, Barda has no relationship issues, Scott is her true love, full stop. Barda may have embraced New Genesis and Earth, but at heart she is a legendary Apokoliptian warrior who loves fighting and her husband.

Though sadly, she doesn't get enough love. Besides, she's a god who likes Pokemon, what's better than that?

Now that Wonder Woman is a god too, Wonder Woman and Big Barda are both gods. Big Barda was created in the 1970s by Jack Kirby and she was already a god from the beginning.
