Y'know, I didn't really like it when George introduced the idea that Diana HAD a father, albeit in a previous incarnation of Hippolyta's, but it was presented vaguely enough that I kind of danced around it when I was doing WONDER WOMAN.

The notion that Diana has a dad runs sort of counter to the whole concept of the character, doesn't it? In her origin as created by Marston, she was "pure woman", with no male elements.

I got the first 12 issues of Wonder Woman for 52% off on a prepaid deal at my LCS, had I been buying it for cover price every month I would have dropped it after 4 or 5. People seem to like it but I'm not in that crowd.

Much what is supposedly "New" about Wonder Woman is simple textbook mythology.

William Marston's take was that history, written by the winners, had demonized the Amazon culture, making them as warlike and destructive as men, moreso in fact. The Amazons themselves, having gone to live on Paradise Island, weren't around to refute this characterization, and in fact built a miniature Utopia living by their principles of love and superior feminine virtue, perfecting their point of view in the thousands of years since those accounts were first recorded.

The Nu52 version is simply cribbed from those texts Wonder Woman's creator explained away. Ultraviolence? Check. Zues knocking up every woman he meets? Check. Amazons raping sailors? Check. Disposing of male infants? Check? Nothing's changed. Nothing's improved. Why would it? Thousands of years always result in exactly no change. Well, Eros is packing heat now. And there's nightclubbing. So there's that...

Really, the new Wonder Woman is completely hollow. But hey, kids! All the Hack'EmSlash you could ever want, right? Even the Punisher doesn't hack people apart with a sword, right? So, cooool, right?

OK, this is just stupid.

The text in some stories is being changed from the comic to the reprint trade. For instance, it appears that in Teen Titans 1 Tim Drake was called Robin and there may have been previous iterations of the Titans.

In the trade, Tim was called 'Batman's Boy Wonder' and there were no previous iterations of the Titans.

I can get that some things need to be altered as comics continue to be published, hecj that happens all the time. But these are the big, basic stuff - and it's getting changed within a year of the reboot.

What are they playing at?

...because no character in comics' history has had a personal timeline as fungible and overworked as Donna's

That's why I thought JB's third year on WONDER WOMAN was so good!  Instead of getting rid of any of it, he decided ALL her timelines were true -- it was brilliant!  Neat and tidy, and a rockin' story, too.
