Probably the best single issue on the site. #18 delivered on so many levels Diane's first Christmas was so well done and the interesting developments just keep coming with that ending. I know for sure I prefer you're shade over DCs and I Pretty sure you're wonder woman is better too. Keep up the great work

#19 up. Setting up of a new arc. The hardest thing I'm finding is trying to narrow down all of the side stories I'm trying to tell. This issue had the dilemma of the reference to the formation of the JLA- it was written when it was going to happen soon- as a way to tie it in, but with it falling through I seriously considered taking it out. I really liked the scene and thought- it will happen eventually, so figured as having it more of a long term prophecy then a short term one. If it becomes an issue, I'll rework it.
Took me ages to get back into writing this one after an extended gap, and now I have a fuck-ton of reading to catch up on. What the hell is up with all this regular great writing on this site?- I mean it's awesome, but shit. Well, I know what to do with any free time I have...

Caught up. Very solid work all around. I echo liking the Gods so far. The subway scene with Apollo and his Oracle was very well done. If I had one complaint, it would be that Diana still feels kinda shallow to me. Her relationship with Mike has helped, but otherwise she feels more like a force of nature than a character. I'm not sure if I'm making sense.
Keep em coming.

And while I can see Star's point, re: a force of nature, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. From issue 1 til now we've seen a lot of levels of her character, some for briefer moments than others. But let us not forget, this is Wonder Woman. Part of being WW is being a force of nature sometimes too. All around well done work. Can't wait to see where you take her next.

#20 up and holy crap I have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks for the reviews and critiques. Stardrifter, I'm with you- but like Oberon, Diana being a force of nature is something is something I kind of enjoy. Part of it is that she's foreign- thus her conversations are a little limited. As she gets better at English (which she will soon) hopefully we'll get a little more insight into how she ticks. Anyway, now SHADE and then a couple of dozen series to catch up on.

I'm not big on the bits at the university, but aside from that I really like the current arc. WW is a force of nature, that's part of her character, but at least to me she doesn't feel like an emotionless or one dimensional character so it's not an issue at all.

Ok I am still so far behind on this and struggling to catch up but I just read the Cheetah origin issue and I have to say I absolutely loved this tale. Great great read. Sorry to be so behind, but I am really digging what I have read.

Issue was okay. Not exceptional but not bad. A lot of proofreading issues. I guess it just felt like not a lot was accomplished. Keep em coming.

The hospital scene was brilliantly bizarre.

Whew, finally caught all the way up on this title. I have to say I think Wonder Woman is the most difficult of the big three to write well, and there have only been a few runs of Wonder Woman that held my interest long term (Perez's run being foremost among these).
There's a lot going on in this series. Diana's development has been slow, but steady. I want to see more though. In terms of plotting, well I hope you never drop this title because there are so many loose ends flying around I don't think anyone else could pick it up. They have moved at different paces and there has been some resolution to smaller threads, but a lot of things have been in motion for a long time. They are definitely interesting, but it can get a little frustrating if no resolutions are reached. While they are all moving forward, if nothing gets resolved it feels more like treading water than moving forward.
You have deftly handled the threads so far, and kept the series feeling like things are progressing, but it is a thin line you are treading. I hope you keep it up, because I really want to see how they all play out, but they definitely need to play out at some point and not keep on keeping on.

Chucked up the last one because I had already finished it, and at this stage- why the hell not?
Could possibly be the last I do as starting a new title seems more and more tempting... o_0
Anyway if anyone wants to know any spoilers- pm me. I may pick it up again if no one else does post reboot.
