It's become increasingly clear to me that Azzarello has one extended story to tell with the Greek myths that involves Princess Diana, while Geoff Johns is the guy writing the actual Wonder Woman comics. As with Steve Trevor and Etta Candy, New 52 Cheetah debuts in the JLA book, which looks to be rebuilding her rep considerably.
