DC UNIVERSE LEGACIES #5I'm not 100% sure whether Wonder Woman existed at this point or not. She was in the actual COIE, but retroactively removed in Legends, then Hippolyta would have taken her place after Byrne, but Dan Didio now says there was no Golden Age Wonder Woman after all. Diana seemed to be restored as a JLA founder following Infinite Crisis but who knows? In an amazing turnabout, Donna's clearly in continuity here.

Yeah, the Benes JLA is sorta worth the time, but certainly not the money.
If Wonder Woman's status as a JLA founding member has finally been restored (now that the "new" Wonder Woman has been around for 20 years), wouldn't that necessitate her having participated in Crisis? (Unless the Crisis has retroactively been placed prior to the founding of the JLA, which would only create more confusion, which, of course, is standard operating procedure for modern super-hero comics.)
M.C., I'll be reading and reviewing some McDuffie/Benes stuff in the near future. Not as terrible as I'd heard, but not exactly good, either.
Tom: Yes. No. Possibly. Definitely maybe. What was the question again?
Sorry about the confusion. I was referring to your comment on DC LEGACIES #5, which takes place during Crisis. You wonder if the current version of DC history, which restores Wonder Woman as a JLA founding member, also has Wonder Woman participating in Crisis.
Just being sarcastic about the messy continuity, my friend.
Speaking of confusion, why are they even doing another Crisis story? Is it a "lost" episode from Crisis? A retelling of part or all of Crisis with some retroactive continuity "fixes"? I'm left with the question I ask about 90% of what DC (and Marvel) publishes these days: What the hell is the f###ing point?
I asked myself that about the whole Legacies concept. Is anyone reading this? Does it matter?
