Wonder Woman #22

[shankie]

I'm sold: Diana as an evil tyrant would be so much better than Clark as an evil tyrant.
X100000 + hotness^3 = Wonder Woman, Empress of the World

From this past week...





Yeah, it's a dream sequence. Under evil influence. Yet more awesome in a made-of-awesome storyarc that has given her a fabulous wardrobe.

I question some of her choices for decor... but not all. But, of course... she's not the sort of woman you question often, now, is she?



I love her when she's scary.

I'm all about this recent storyarc. Diana has been getting too much of the short end of the stupid stick recently. ::coughTrinityahem::

I...might have to find this arc. Because Diana looks awesome. I love that modified tiara. Are we going to get to see any more of her harem, or was that just a short sequence?

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

This arc is just littered with most excellent outfits; she had this "Wonder Woman meets Norse warrior woman" thing going on that was so win.

Of the harem, though... yeah, that's it. Unfortunately. XD

Alas! Well, I guess imagination will have to, uh, fill in the blanks. Yay for fanfiction! :)

Has "Diana with a flock of the most powerful men in the world as her submissive boy-toys" been done? If not.. it should. Pondery pondery...

I don't believe I've ever seen it in fic! There's surprisingly little love for Diana in fandom--I chalk some of it up to women feeling like we're required to like her as, you know, #1 Female Superhero and so on and so on. Also, I suspect S/B shippers tend to resent her for horning in on the OTP in either direction, depending on the continuity. :) But I know I would love to see that dream sequence played out a bit more in detail, lol...

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Yeah... all very likely.

I always feel a little intimidated by her... like I'd be deserving of the special Hell if I did her a disservice.

Actually, my brain has been deluged with ideas to play around with... maybe I'll risk it... if I ever get to writing more than a few paragraphs of fic at a time, anyway. Getting there... and it just seems like it needs to exist now. :D

Actually, Gail Simone, the writer of this, said that she posted a wishlist of "suitors" (and villains) for Diana, including both men and women - Io (http://en.dcdatabaseproject.com/Io_II_(New_Earth)) was the one she specifically mentioned. Sadly, not all the suitors managed to fit in due to space reasons. :(

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Was she the hugely muscular blacksmith that wears the leather apron with no shirt underneath? Hotness.

I am disappointed. That would have been... so awesome.

[the-bumper-car.livejournal.com]

Yup, the hot blacksmith with apron and the hammer...

But Gail promised in s_d that the moment she can write Io back into the story, she will not be forgetting that Io has the hots for Diana... :D

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Awesomest information ever. :D

"unfortunately"

Not everyone might consider it unfortunate.

Seeing such a woman lie down with a man would be like seeing the coolest dog in the world do the coolest dog tricks in the world, then, in the midst of well deserved praise, walk over to the litter box and eat a side order of cat turds.

All that lovely filet de femme warm & waiting, and she wants a cheap wiener? Someone shake her and say "Don't you know what that crap is made of!?!"

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

::laughs::

Well, yes, there's that, too. I don't think I'd consider their wiener's cheap; I'd say they're the best there is to have. XD

This is all vain and trivial, probably but I love her muscly-ness.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DRAW HER ALL SKINNY OMG.

Also, Batman and Superman in chainmail = YAY.

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Yessss. Skinny Diana is like short Barda; that's just wrong.

Batman especially should wear chainmail more often. It'll sorta take away from the stealthy bit, but... I'm sure he could work around it. :D

Someone else was complaining that Trinity was the only decent Wonder Woman out there.

I disagree. I love this.

But I'll admit the Nemesis/Gorilla bits were my favorite.

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

I would definitely have to argue that she's better here; Trinity seems to be very hit or miss about everything... especially her.

Those are pretty great. :D

[museofspeed.livejournal.com]

Well...I actually like Trinity. Not enough to keep buying it, admittedly. Three bucks a week for a year when there's so much out there? Gotta pass. But I really liked the first issue.

[honormac.livejournal.com]

the posted page is lovely, lovely, lovely...

But the picture under "I love her when she's scary" pushes all my buttons. }:-)

::happy lil sigh:: Doesn't it just. :D
