Yay! GAIL SIMONE is the new writer of WONDER WOMAN and her first issue is out now. Gail has proven herself as a fantastic storyteller over the past several years and fans have been praying she handled WW! I have nothing but confidence she'll do a great job with Diana! Here's some snippets of her in an interview regarding the book:"Neither Batman or Superman really quite fits when, say, an army of skeletons attacks, or a hydra, or the like. Basically, if it’s in a Ray Harryhausen movie, it’s in Diana’s domain."Click HERE for the rest of the interview and to see some preview pages of the kickass art by Terry & Rachel Dodson.
"The Wonder-thong is just, eh, it just shows some people can only see a woman in one context, even if they supposedly ‘love’ the characters. It’s so dreary and predictable. On the other hand, I’m a defender of her costume, I like it, I think it has the appropriate wow factor, and in the hands of great artists like Terry and Rachel, it’s sexy in a context of power, rather than the more typical strip club veneer. There are plenty of superheroines who look like you could stick a dollar in their briefs. Wonder Woman shouldn’t be one of them. There’s some sexy stuff coming up, but it won’t be about butt-floss."
WONDER WOMAN #14 is on sale now!

*the pics posted are not of Gail's run, but merely some nice covers I chose to share. The top left one was actually my first comic ever, bought at Barbarian Books in Wheaton, MD. I was too young to read, but I loved the comic anyway! It made quite an impression and I still have that original issue!
