Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8808 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.
Wonder Woman #40 - PREVIEW
@csg_cl: I KNOW RIGHT?? who let her crusty a$$ on the island?? O_o also ...dat Troy cover doe ..
@malachi_munroe: LOL ... Seriously
@csg_cl: yea seriously where the hell was she all his time.
@cgoodness: I honestly think he's getting better
I don't, WW is ugly as homemade sin. I blame you "she looks 14!" people, she was cuter in the first Finch issues.
I dot like the art very much. The cover look like Donna Troy is vampire or dead. Also most of Amazons look too skinny specially Donna Troy and some amazons have really modern hair styles. Does Wonder Woman bring Fashion Magazines to Paradise Island.
"One last time I will prove myself to you... and never again" Badass quote.
hell yea.
I wonder if Strife is a red herring or if she is actually involved here ... Still wondering where the heck an old Amazon came from.
shes been there since azarellos run. in the last few issues i saw her creeping around with an ominous grin and IIRC she was also telling the amazons to rebel.
@csg_cl: i don't understand Derinoe at all ... Unless she's a reanimated corpse or something. Better yet, she's a hexenbiest . that's it, I solved the mystery. Also, Diana said Donna seems familiar, finch said she's a bit of Hippolyta and the sacrificed amazon (because who doesn't want a crazy amazon) ... She had the perfect time to drop the bomb "that is my little sister!" But nope. And ... If She's a child .. How old is she supposed to be? 19? Not complaining but I'm confused.
@malachi_munroe: can't be much more than 18/19 given Diana is only like 23/24
Is Donna ever going to return to the Titans?
I was more fond of her Post-Crisis look. I liked how she looked Moroccan or more Middle Eastern.
@somayareece: I doubt it at this point. Cassie is the Wondergirl for N52 Titans
@csg_cl: That sucks. New 52 Cassie is a nutjob. I liked her much better Pre-Flashpoint.
@csg_cl: That sucks. New 52 Cassie is a nutjob. I liked her much better Pre-Flashpoint.
me too ... the Titans have been a mess in N52 ... which is probably why they've had one volume canceled and sales on the new volume are driving it right down that path too
@csg_cl: I expect her to not be a pawn after #43. Let the redemption begin. I think it's possible she could be 18 or a little younger (if they stop aging at a certain point)
Ew dat art
It's not that bad.. she's kinda starting to look older imo..
Of course you have my fave face from her..
Cant find the usual spoiler thread so I'll just put this here.
I don't know how much longer I can last. I want to like this run, i really do. But Donna is just a HOT a$$ MESS. Really, let's have the child commit genocide before she's even a week old. And what was the set back of the fight supposed to accomplish? This thing was teased for months only to have yet ANOTHER cliffhanger... It's totally frustrating to see two characters I like BUTCHERED before my eyes. I miss the compassionate Amazons. I don't know who these barbarians are..
@malachi_munroe: amen! This book has just circled the drain for months ... I want to like it too, but it's pretty disjointed with all the half told stories with no resolution!
@csg_cl: EXACTLY! It's all over the damn place and the cliff hangers are ANNOYING! They didn't need to make Dessa stop the fight. Just let Diana whoop Donna's skinny butt and get on with it! This issue had better be a damn dream sequence! I'm SICK of the incoherent plots, I'm SICK of the barbaric women and I'm just SICK of what they're doing to Donna and Diana!
And the art has been a hit and miss but I'm too pissed to even bother with that right now.
@malachi_munroe: David Finch is REALLY inconsistent! He's such a good monster guy, but his female faces are horrible!
Man, to think when I read Wonder Woman in the 1970's I used to admire the amazons. Now I just wish the whole island would be wiped out.
@csg_cl: he doesn't seem to have a middle ground. It's like we have to either get creepy deer eyed, doll faced women who seem to lack rib cages or these ape faced barbaric bikini clad monstrosities..
@mark_stephen: no. Death is too kind a punishment. Zeus should turn them all into men.
@malachi_munroe: OMG ... Dude ... I am ROFLMA
@malachi_munroe: holy crap u right I think my thread was taken down lol but watever it cool
@wbr17: she was turn to a clay statue and that clay was use to make Donna Troy now she ghost on paradise island
This issue may just have been the straw that broke the camels back. If the annual doesn't cough up with one hell of a payoff and somekind of redeeming quality, I'll be dropping WW for as long as there's a Finch on it.
@malachi_munroe: True punishment would be to be locked in a room for eternity with an infinite number of 1040 forms to fill out.
@wbr17: she was turn to a clay statue and that clay was use to make Donna Troy now she ghost on paradise island
@wbr17: you ask what happen to Hippolyta that what happen she now a ghost on paradise island
@darknightspideyfanboy: I understood that lol Thanks I was just surprised with that.
@csg_cl: all that genocidal scene needed was Donna killing a young male Amazon and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Donna and Flashpoint Paradox Diana vs Captain Thunder.
@csg_cl: all that genocidal scene needed was Donna killing a young male Amazon and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Donna and Flashpoint Paradox Diana vs Captain Thunder.
pretty much
@csg_cl: I cant help but think Finch watched that movie .. I cant even right now. Donna has won the "worst new 52 origin" category.
@malachi_munroe: 100% agreed that Donna's origin is amongst the worst New52 ... I could have forgiven the way she was created, but now they've just turned her into a genocidal maniac. Short of retcon/reboot there is no coming back
@csg_cl: y'know, this had better be a plan by Hecate to take over themiscyra. And if anything, like Diana said, Donna would just be a pawn, with her actions being dictated by Derinoe through some mystical means. The redemption? After this is all said and done and Hecate is no more, let the magic that made Donna begin to fade away with her slowly reverting to clay. Diana could use the lasso to show Donna HER truth. To be a living testement to the "there is good in all" thing.. let the lasso bund the magicc to her keeping her alive to start her long,cliche journey or redemption at her sister's side. If not? Wipe them out and leave Hippolyta and Diana. It's sad they way they're being handled. I still haven't got over this mess...
