DD on your opinions too! I want to get an idea of whether these are things I might be interested in picking up.

I have opposite opinions on Sirens and Divas from the entire rest of the internet, apparently. DDs on your opinions, though!

Totally agree on the Wonder Woman thing. I read it and was just... I expect better of Gail Simone? IDK.

(I have mixed feelings on Marvel Divas. At least it wasn't as ridiculous as the cover and solicit made it seem.)

Yeah, I think I expected better of Simone too. I mean, it's interesting, especially after the whole War of the Amazons or whatever the fuck last year, but I feel like there's some epic MISSING THE POINT OF AMAZONS going on here.

(I have mixed feelings too, but I think my deep and burning love for both Brother Voodoo and Monica Rambeau let me ignore its flaws.)

EXACTLY. I mean, there are some flaws in Diana's origin, but why are you taking it away from her! You wouldn't go "Hey, Superman isn't Kryptonian anymore!"

I'm mostly "meh" on her run. I'm irritated by what she did to Etta Candy, and I think Diana's relationship with Tresser started off amusing but got boring quickly. This whole "forgetting that Amazons have Issues with the menfolk" thing is making me more stabby each time I think about it, though.

Did you read Captain America #600? There's a really adorable piece with Eli and Rikki bonding. I hope he shows up in her mini some.
