Thanks Reboot. I wrote "next issue" but in my head was thinking "in the next issue of this storyline (whenever that may be)".

According to one of the panels this weekend (forgot which and which site had the news) the final part of "Who is Wonder Woman" will be a 48 page special. No idea when it will be released.

Not feeling this as much as I thought I would. Heinberg's Young Avengers were so good I was expecting a bit more I guess. Infact didn't care for the set up at all. She's suddenly WW again? huh?

I like the elements. Nemesis, the agency stuff, Circe, the Hercules twist. I LOVE the art. But as far as WW stories go it's a bit simple. I don't see much of a difference than the last few years of WW...just less complex.

I loved the teaser cliffhanger at the end with the tons of old WW villains showing up, lots in silhouette... but now it might be a year or whatever before that story wraps? This was a bad idea.

re: "give me monthly or else" thing, I'm spending so damn much money on comics already that I wouldn't mind if more books were bi-monthly or quarterly. I would be fine if no other issue of WW came out until this arc was completed, then they could go full-tilt with the next team if they wanted.

I'd rather they released storylines together. In other words, if a crative team can only get six issues out in a year, I'd rather read them in January through June and have no issues the rest of the year.

That ain't gonna happen for long with a character like WW, though.

Sorry for your wallet, LASHie, but I expect a bunch of biweekly Wondy-related stuff soon. Guess AMAZONS ATTACK will be part of that (which looks good, by the way, though I don't particularly want to read more Amazon deaths).

For an ageless race that doesn't reproduce, they sure do burn through them, don't they? I'm surprised they made it past 28 AD at this rate...

Heinberg's story was fun and the art was great, but like everything he's done in comics, the lateness of the book kept me uninterested throughout the run despite having some initial enthusiasm.

Looking forward to a writer that can make a monthly commmittment without crappy excuses.

Okay, so I picked up # 5 today and had no idea that they weren't finishing the "Who is Wonder Woman" story this issue.

Seems pretty lame to me.

I think I am just gonna drop this title. If they can't finish what they start, I'll spend my money on something else.

Okay, picked up # 6 today. With all of Wonder woman's enemies, etc. why are they using the same one we saw in the "Who is Wonder Woman" uncompleted arc? Did they not tell the new writer what was going on before she began her run?

Very disappointing and I want to like this title.

I agree 100%. They want events? Forget monthly. I rather have a collected graphic novel the size of 3 to 6 issues.

I thought about this since i was in high school 13 years ago. Popular characters should have 3 to 4 of these GN come out a year. Less popular characters should have atleast one.

Thing is they would make less money. Now the sell the monthlies and then the collected versions of them. Ohwell, it would be fun.

I didn't dig WW #5. Hunt, how can they drop the ball like this with #6???

I praise DC cause they seem to be much more professional than Marvel at times and care more about their characters. But IMO they've dropped the ball with Wonder Woman big time! (and the Legion)

I mean the whole point of this new title was to prove she deserves to be one of the big 3. Good job DC.

Couldn't agree more Jorge. Diana's not looking very "Big 3" right now. The only good thing they've done is reintroduce the twirl to change her from Diana Prince to WW. Oh, for the days of Lynda Carter, ha!

Though I'm happy to see the return of her secret ID, is anyone else find it a little silly that "Diana Prince" is always standing around in a room full of giant Wonder Woman images and no one else in the room (people whose full time jobs are allegedly to study and find WW no less) makes the connection...

I found #6 to be a mixed bag. Some good stuf wrapped up in more "blah".

My favoite part of the issue was the scene inside the Hero theme park when Nemisis is buying the WW doll for his niece. When Diana asks why the WW doll is less expensive than the Bats one, the clerk responds that she's never sold as well as Superman/Batman. Makes me wonder if it was a tip of the hat to all those involved in the debate over whether or not she's really deserving of her "DCU Big 3" status. I imagine the writer is aware of this on going debate and is trying to address it.
