I really don't like Diana's personality in this. I understand that this is how she was written in the Origin arc. But she possibly seems even more bloodthirsty than in it, while Superman doesn't appear to have the personality he had in it.

Love the art however.

Interesting direction he's taken here ... Given that in Johns story they barely spoke. Hopefully we'll see both of them come around to better personalities since she comes across as all kinds of entightled and he sounds like a sanctimonious @ss ... Although I suspect that is the point being made.

I'm willing to check this out, while Soule's run was good, I don't feel like he did a good job with Wonder Woman.

It continues to make me wonder why artists/colorists at DC continue to draw/color Diana with lickstick and nailpolish? Considering the character maiming, it's obviously not that important, but still...why?

@outside_85: I think that the dark lipstick matches her attire and fits her personality but it's nothing important.

@zhurong: I was more thinking in the lines of; why would she wear it. I know stuff like makeup was around back when the Amazons were young, but other than using it like war-paint or for ceremonies, I wouldn't imagine any of the Amazons use it. So why would Diana, who didn't grow up with 'our' perception of beauty, use it? (Add to this, it's not like she really needs to enchance herself :)

@outside_85: I understand where you're coming from but keep in mind that she isn't just a warrior in Themyscira but also depicted as a normal woman in America. She doesn't have to enhance her beauty when it is solely based on how the artist want her to look. A friend of mines actually think some artists make Diana look like a man. I can also understand that some WW are upset that Finch is oversexualizing her because she is indeed a warrior (not a model). At the same time we don't want to read about a ugly duckling.

@zhurong: Well thats part of my point. Diana possess natural beauty, if you were to wake her up at 4 in the morning she'd still look great (abeit bleary eyed and with terrible hair), like the old saying: a face you want to wake up to in the morning.

Add to this, Diana isn't really a normal woman living in America... especially not the one above, she arrived something like months, maybe only weeks, before Darkseid showed up.

@outside_85: I know she possesses natural beauty (which was noted in the JL cartoon that she's not a fan of makeup). Wonder Woman didn't know much about America since she lived on a isolated island almost all her life so she has to get used to American standards. I know this is random but who the new girl that taken Hal's spot on the JL?
