I might lose friends over this. Oh well.
In case you can't tell, I like the new Wondy costume.
My first response:
ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
First blush, this is a gorgeous outfit. This is the win to counter the fail of Jim's Huntress costume. And if you're going to draw her with large boobs, at least give her a top that suits them.
...
[and, after reading what the new storyline is]
Now I've read the whole thing, I'm less happy. Her new M.O. & timeline mean...
A) this is not my Diana. It's a character I could like, but I'd gotten used to the other one, & I don't know what happens to Artie now. Wait, Artie doesn't die! But what happens to Boston without Diana to stop Decay & Asquith Randolph, or the world without Artie to stop Dalkriig-Hath? (I'm overthinking this.)
B) Eventually, Di will get reset to "normal" again, the timeline will be "restored" & she'll be back in some godawful variation of her undies. Which is what happened in the mid-1970's. They "brought back" the costume, but made it look more like underwear.
This costume reminds me of what Di wore as captain of the Space Pyrates, which is about as well-dressed as Di's ever looked in my eyes. And the new circlet is pretty. I like the version in Jim's sketch a little better, but there's a weird strength to the (Don Kramer?) version in the interior pages.
To Box, here:
I love this costume. And the more I hear people whine about it, the more I rush to say how great it is. Jim Lee should be praised here for actually getting it right for once in his life!
Granted, it's a case of getting the timing wrong again, DC. :shakes head: Lady Gaga is finally making the case for an icon who doesn't. need. trousers, & DC's actually giving Di the costume that should have been maybe 10-15 years ago.
But this is a good costume. It's sleek. Sleek goes a long way.
I like sleek, as opposed to gaudy. Maybe that makes me an old fart, I don't care. I don't really want Wondy dressed like this in the book.
