I absolutely LOVE this artwork. eek! The last 2 pictures in particular are stunning. The shadow on the tiara and bracers was a perfect foreshadow. thumb up Mad props to Gail Simone.

A sad truth, yes.

Seriously, you should champion a new character and stay around.

Green Lantern has worked out well for me.

I care. durcry2 Wonder Woman needs a champion, but there are other characters who could benefit from your repping them. yes Like Monarch, or Takion, or Super Skrull or Star Lord. I'd like to see more of you on KMC. big grin

Ahhh, don't rain on the parade. I know Diana doesn't get the same props the other two in the Holy Trinity get, but at her best she's more badass than either Clark or Bruce. She's like what Thor is at Marvel, and I hope Gail Simone writes her that way.
Speaking of Thor - I know Dodson was drawing this title when it rebooted under Allen Heinberg, but it seems while the editors were playing musical writers, he's seen what Copiel has been doing with the Thunder God, and is getting bolder & more impressionistic with the art. It's certainly packing more punch, now.

just like the Red Skull. And Hate-monger, if the dude had made an appearance since the seventies (discounting that one time in Punisher). No matter what you do to them, it's always chill, because, you know, Nazis.

If you are dumb/evil/crazy enough to rep Nazism as part of your MO/costume/philosophy, you deserve whatever flak and beatings you get. durbeware

I get that *hides Millennium behind his back* but it'd be nice to see Captain Nazi getting punched out instead of getting stabbed/electrocuted/frag'd in his friggen eyes every time he exits a panel.

It's almost a running gag.

Red Skull has actually done pretty good in comics.

I do a good job of it. IT doesn't matter if Obama and President Bush endorse WW. People will only see what they want. People still think she's slow, class 90, and can be knocked out by a few Hulk lvl punches.

Val
Why would Obama and Bush endorsing WW mean anything?

WW was actually fairly respected on this forum in the Draco days. Not sure what's changed since. ermmnone

Respected? No one here when I first came thought she could beat anyone higher than the Hulk. SHe had the unique position of being able to beat hulk and any high tier strong guys, but no one thought she could hang with anyone who basically had her same power set. Which included flight, strength, speed ect.

You weren't looking hard enough or you just chose to ignore them in an attempt to prove your point.

There were WW VS CM, WW Vs BA and WW Vs Thor threads that went on for pages and were split pretty evenly.

Wonder Woman isn't exactly a cool character. She goes from good writer to piss poor one. From good art to hard to look at art. No one is going to champion her but the few anyways. And her costume is just Ugg. It needs to be a blend of what it is now, Donna troy's, and the one she wore in Kingdom Come. Those Blue Panties have GOT to go.

T.V. shows which have a lead female superheroine seem to do alright but I can't really think of a movie with a lead female superheroine that did exceptional and focused on the character on a deeper level.
I mean Kill Bill V1 was good but that was only because of the director....and the blood. In V2 when they took it to a deeper level it started sucking. I don't think it's only about WW not being a "cool" character. I mean this in the least sexist way but how many female characters could hold their own solo series? It's not the characters fault, it's more lack of interest from the public because she's female.
Personally I wouldn't go out of my way to watch something like Catwoman mainly because the writers are confused on who their audience is.
Heck I'm against an Emma Frost movie for that very reason.

Probably not since I think you were looking for weatern comics. But it is a very good example of a successful series with primarily female characters.

I can think of a small number of series from Japan that revolve around a female character and do OK, but I'll admit that I've got nothing from the US or UK.

It can be anything that you think will do very well at the Box Office.

True Ms. Marvel got her series for now shifty but I thought that's because marvel were pushing herso they can establish a number 1 female like how DC have a number 1 female.
I've been reading it but it's nothing exceptional. Had their been no hidden agenda I don't think the series would last. erm (Must actually take a look at the sales of last months top 100 comics)

Do you think it's capable of doing well at the box office?

I think the Buffy Season 8 series is really good. But then again that could be just me since I grew up watching the T.V show. It'll probably do alright at the Box Office since there is a decent amount of people who watched the series but I doubt it'd be exceptional. I'd expect it to do as well as Pokemon or DBZ.(Maybe a bit worse) And as big as Pokemon was it couldn't sustain itself movie wise.
While Spiderman went and killed the Box Office. Heck it was doing better then the Bollywood Movies in India.

When you take into account how big the craze that swept Europe, Africa, Asia and America was it should have done better. I remember it being huge. The First Movie did very well, it wasn't sustainable through the sequels. Pokemon 3 bumed by 50%.
And maybe Pokemon was a bad example...stick out tongue What I think is funny is my predictions were right.

Alot of people during the height of its popularity were saying "It's just a fad! It's just a fad!" And I told them "It's not just a fad. It'snot something that 's going to fade away completely, its made a big enough impact that its going to fade into the background. It'll be present and even be used as gags. But its not going to fade away completely into nothingness."

And lo and behold the popularity has died down but...:

It's established a place to be used for parody... eventually it might fade into nothingness as the height of its popularity moves further into the past. but it might be used from time to time.

Question: Why does championing wonder woman have to involve trying to bump her up if you don't agree with it?

is it not enough to just like the character?
