Yara kinda has the Artemis tilt to her 'which gives her an advantage'
in that instead of sidekick She's designed to be standalone iteration of WW
which gives her room to find a niche'... The only problem is again WW's mythos gets treated like its more of a hassle then strength
Artemis works cause she can be a less ideal/ less noble WW but still be a hero similar to how Jason can be a less idealized version of a Bat Family member

Cassie pretty much lost the majority of her steam the moment she was ported over to Teen Titans 03
Cause just like Donna, Cassie has been straddled with the "THE GIRLFRIEND" Johns is known to inflict on Female characters making them love interests and SOLELY love interests 'even if it don't make sense to his own plot'
Her character revolves around Superboy... even in his absence.
Cassie has never really recovered from that. Like People praise Johns for his retcons to Impulse and Superboy 'Frankly All he did was take all the fun parts out of Kon and made him a moodier navel gazerier Clark Jr clone... with a bland outfit YEAH I SAID IT KON WAS BETTER WHEN HE WAS CLONE OF SOME RANDOM NOBODY!!'

Sensational Wonder Woman#1 and 2 was pretty 'eh', bit of a Wanda Vision vibe, and I feel like it'd have had more dramatic tension/impact if Douglas had been Steve.
Random question, but has Hades ever shown up in Wonder Woman? I know he had in the New 52 era as well as that animated movie, but I find it a bit strange he hasn't show up too much given her connections to the pantheon.
The Protomen enhanced my life.
He's shown up a few times, pre a d post crisis. He was initially used as a villain under Marston but pulled a herl face turn. Post crisis depicts him as a more neutral figure.

Neat! I remember seeing a story mentioned on Ascended Fridge Horror that involved him and Ares, and got curious.
"In Wonder Woman (1987) Diana gets Ares to step back and reevaluate—making him an occasional incredibly antagonistic ally for the rest of the series—by showing him that his goal of causing a nuclear WWIII would kill him by destroying the human race thereby killing anyone who might make war, believe in him, or even spread stories about him, the first and last of which he requires to exist. This made some readers wary when years later Ares usurped Hades and became Lord of the Dead since he now only needs the souls of the dead in Hades for power. Sure enough, in the next series Ares tries to use Genocide in a plot specifically designed to kill off everyone on earth."

There was a Diana/Steve story in the Love Is A Battlefield special. Seems they were dating again sometime prior to Death Metal.

Yeah, about that TV show...
Also, I don't want to be seen as a butthole, but maybe it's not the worst thing? Yara's only been around for, what, a few issues now? Feels pretty early for her to have a TV show IMO.

Well that sucks.
2021 hasn't been too good for the Wonder Woman franchise thus far.
How long has it been in the works for?
It was announced back in 2018.
Nubia and the Amazons is among the titles recently announced by DC

[/url]
The Head of the Hydra
Also that DC Ink graphic novel Nubia: Real One is coming out in 3 days.
Shit since I gave DC derision for their underuse of Nubia, I'll add the book to my wish list to eventually buy it.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
Themyscira will be in Space Jam 2.
Just finished the first collection of George Perez's run (issues 1-14). I can definitely see how the first arc would go on to influence the 2017 movie. The second arc is a little more uneven imo because of the tie-in aspect to Millennium, but I did think the whole "Diana Trevor" reveal was interesting and a way to add depth to Steve's character.
I made a trope page for Wonder Woman: The True Amazon. :)
The Protomen enhanced my life.
Justice Society: World War II Started as a Wonder Woman Series
DC Honors 80th Anniversary of Wonder Woman with Twelve Titles
Harley Quinn's Stephanie Phillips is writing a new 8-issue miniseries! Wonder Woman: Evolution.
Another sneak peak at Historia, this time of the Amazon Menalippe.
Surrounded by weirdoes
... Did someone left a Cenobite lying around or something?
Wake me up at your own risk.
Wonder Woman and the other Amazons are due for a massive event in 2022: Trial of the Amazons
Pretty much every WW related team is on this; Becky Cloonan and Michael Conrad (Wonder Woman), Vita Ayala and Stephanie Williams (Nubia and the Amazons), Joëlle Jones (Wonder Girl), and Jordie Bellaire (Wonder Woman: The Adventures Of Young Diana)!
Expect Nubia and the Amazons #1 to lay the groundwork for this event.
And don't panic: you can't see them in the Jen Bartel piece, but Donna and Cassie and Jumpa the Kangaroo will be in this.
Hope it turns out well.
I hope so.
I haven't checked out her issue yet, but it sounds like she's pretty cool, and she deserves a chance, even if it kinda it kinda means that Donna and Cassie are again getting tossed under the bus by sheer virtue of this new girl getting such a huge push over two characters who've been around for years.
One Strip! One Strip!
