Or – “Black Canary Said It, Not Me…”
Wonder Woman as a character has always been more successful than Wonder Woman as a comic book, or a series. The iconic imagery and power that people associate with Princess Diana, from Linda Carter to underoos to Superfriends and back is seldom easily captured in her comics. Aside from a delightful Kurt Busiek miniseries 20 years ago, some Denny O’Neil issues in the early 70′s, and the George Perez revamp, I’ve seldom found the character to work for me. Still, I’ve been onboard with the WW revamp for several years, with varying degrees of enjoyment. I find it odd that Gail Simone is one of my most beloved creators, and Aaron Lopresti’s art has always been visually appealing, going all the way back to “What Th–?” from Marvel a million years ago. So, why haven’t these stories captured me as easily as Gail’s other work?
