Well...
I will look forward to her guest app in Batwoman; after the initial hype that book seems to have gone off the boil so maybe Diana will help. I honestly think Batwoman is an overrated comic anyway.
WW sleeping with someone in Justice League?!? Ugh, no! Dont agree, but if its anyone lets hope its Aquaman.
Diana's own comic...well, Im still collecting it, even if it isnt really her own book anymore. Got to keep the faith, I suppose...

I don't even want to read a JLA with the current line-up, so I certainly wouldn't want Diana to get jiggy with it. If Mera were not an issue, I'd be alright with Arthur as a suitor. I guess I could handle Barry, as well. Note my obvious lack of enthusiasm. Thankfully, I was just spitballing what could possibly get "the world talking." I pray I wasn't inadvertently on to something.

Man, that Chiang cover is pretty...
