@god_spawn: I thought he wore that cast to hide the Devil Bringer.

@god_spawn: Yeah, I thought he looked a little too old to be Virgil's kid.

Wasn't it implied that he may be Vergil's son?

I'd like both of them to stay the f*ck away from any of my favorite characters.

Rogue, dammit!

The New 52 is a gold plated turd. Batman is pretty much the only thing keeping it afloat.

Stops at round 1.

I mean I know plenty about the character and have been following Azzarello's run since it began via online reviews but after I realised Justice League was heading on a downwards spiral, I decided to switch to this instead. And after reading the issue, I can't actually find anything wrong with that story. It moved along at the right pace, there was some excellent characterisation between Wonder Woman and Siracca plus plenty of intriguing future plot points in terms of the First Born and Orion's first New 52 appearance. And Azzarello's style of writing the stories with the darker, more horrific elements of Greek mythology included coupled with modern, fresh takes on the Olympian Gods and the introduction of new characters like Lennox. All in all, Azzarello seems to be taking Wonder Woman in an exciting, intriguing direction and I can't wait to read the rest of his run!

Told ya.

@jrock85: It seems to me Geoff is just trying to compènsate for what old fans aren´t getting in WW New52 solo publication. The Superman romance aside, having Cheetah feature as a main villain for JLA is pretty radical and making her cool, and updating her as Geoff did, I appreciate that. As for his characterization, WW can be attracted to superman and superman to her, it was a bit rushed, but I´d rather John take over duties on solo WW than continue with Azz. The guy doesn´t even like the character.

I understand your position. You'd like to see more classic WW and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I don't believe Azz dislikes WW. Quite the opposite actually. In all of his interviews he affectionately refers to her as "my girl."

@Press Oblivion: I'm inclined to agree with you about Superman being a victim in all of this too. The way I see it, Johns is purposely holding both of their romantic lives hostage as a means of trying to keep us on edge for what will happen next because more and more people are becoming disillusioned with his formulaic, uninspired writing. Looking at the latest sales charts, it doesn't appear that this strategy is working because ever since that first kiss, the sales for JL have been dropping faster than a boxer fighting Mike Tyson in his prime. Its not just the characters, but the other creators are suffering from this as well. Andy Diggle and Scott Lobdell are both constantly being harassed on Twitter by people from both "Team Lois" and "Team Diana" and that's just a horrible position for any writer to be in.

@Press Oblivion: First let me apologize for saying that your argument was invalid because I could have been and should have been much more tactful. My interpretation of what happened in JL #14 is not Wonder Woman "having a down moment" and Superman helping her get through it. I see that as her being subjected to blatant character derailment for the purpose of setting up this "romance." As I mentioned earlier, in her solo title she's been to hell and back (literally) but she's shown an unwavering resilience to handle everything that's been thrown at her. And more importantly, she has no difficulty relating to or bonding with humans, therefore she does not uniquely require companionship from Superman. The point is, Johns does not portray her as having the same qualities that she displays in her own book because if he did, nothing that we've seen in JL #11 through #14 would have transpired. I agree that its great that they brought Steve back, considering that he's her traditional love interest and she needs a great romance just like her male counterparts have had. But...after what happened in JL #12, I just don't see how they can reconcile once this crap with Superman is over with.
