By 1968, th...It's one of those cyclical things. By 1968, the Clark Kent in a skirt shtick was played out, especially in the Kanigher years when Diana Prince's wimpy whining had seeped into Wonder Woman. However, half a decade of kickass <i>Diana Prince-- Wonder Woman</i> stories had fully redeemed the alter ego. Unfortunately, the book then went into flashback mode and generally reshaped itself into the TV series. Going into the '80s, nobody knew where to go with Trevor & Prince, so Perez threw the babies out with the bathwater and turned Wonder Woman chaste. The previous reboot seemed to pick up where Sekowsky left off, but the Nemesis flirtation never clicked, and the spy angle was played too archly. Today, it would be nice to get back to where things started from, with Diana a vehicle for the affections Wonder Woman has vows against expressing. Flip the old dynamic and make Prince the person Diana wants to be, and Wonder Woman the mission she can't let go of.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608317781914932095.post-34276623922177286822010-08-23T02:57:00.065-05:002010-08-23T02:57:00.065-05:00Oooo!

Wonder ...Oooo! Drama! I like this kind of stuff.<br /><br />Wonder Woman should totally go back to having a secret identity. This seemed like an interesting time for her. Government secrets! Deception! Fake glasses! I mean, what's not to like?LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.com
