    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8805 issues.

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    Isn't this story an elseworld? Changes are expected. As long as the story is good, who cares. Another thing you learn from the podcast is that Morrison has done his homework on the character and her creator.

    Looking forward to it. This book should be good. One shot, non canon stories are allowed to veer away from the mainstream elements.

    This all sounds interesting to me. The only enraging part of it all for me was that they don't yet have a release date.

    Also, Wonder Woman will have "dozens of costumes," and in this new origin, will no longer be formed from clay. (Morrison said that aspect of that character was "creepy" and made her "too remote.")

    Interesting ... guess he is not very religious!

    With regards to his religious beliefs, Morrison identifies himself as a practicing Chaos magician. In addition to his magickal beliefs and practices, Morrison's belief system incorporate a number of esoteric beliefs. See, for example, his interview here:

    Guess not

    Funny, gods turn people to spiders and bring inanimate objects to life on whims, but the clay thing is creepy. Is this the same man who gave me the painting that ate Paris.lol

    That Morrison. Love him

    It's always funny to me that so many people get upset when there are changes to a character, and yet so many people also get upset at a character's origin. These were both parts of Marston's original version of the character, and I don't mind them. Sure, they set a pretty obvious type of tone - hard to do a gritty, realistic take on the character if she's riding Kangas, but in the right hands these elements can still work. Darwyn Cooke, for instance, did a great job of using the invisible plane in New Frontier, even though, on the surface, the invisible plane is a pretty silly concept.

    I'd be more keen on this if Didio had let Rucka do it as originally planned.

    Usually, I agree. But have you read New Frontier? It was pretty awesome in that book. I thought it worked in the Wonder Woman animated movie, too. And if a writer is portraying the character in a certain tone it has its place. Plus, how can we hate something that gave us priceless moments like this:

    @jointron33: because she couldn't fly originally

    That aside, I'm excited about this but I'd love if they did a Rucka version as well. Why not let her have TWO elseworld books? Supes and Bats have dozens

    @jointron33: it would be interesting if she needed at the beginning cause she didn't know how to fly and when she does learn how to fly she gives the plane to Trevor

    Ok Azzarello haters, imagine a Wonder Woman story with the current creative team, but with Perez era continuity (except for Steve as the love interest).
