1. Not sure what to make of this current state of affairs.
In nearly every era I've seen her written in, Diana on JLA or team books outperforms herself as she is in her solo books; the near reverse of heroes like Superman.
2. Strange to see -- DC apparently still has a fascination with bullets and bracelets. However, it's nearly impossible to say if writers think this is actually a change. Forgotten in the minds of most people, Wonder Woman throughout the vast MAJORITY of her career, has had vulnerability to piercing weapons like arrows, swords, spears, and, yes, ordinance from guns. This seems to be the case even during the time of what is arguably her most impressive fight, the "Sacrifice" battle of Wonder Woman #219, Volume 2, where, according to the writer of that story, Greg Rucka, Diana endures the greatest force a sun-amped murderously enraged Superman can bring to bear against her.
Yet examine how many apparent cuts and scrapes Diana has even from skirmishing with comparatively mundane One Many Army Corps (OMAC) units after that issue:

Annoying as it is to see, then, Wonder Woman's apparent vulnerability, even to ricocheted projectiles from firearms is probably nothing new.
Diana was falling to crap like that even during the eras where she went against opponents some might rank well above Asmodel.
Some might point out that Asmodel took on Jonn J'onnz to say that he was actually above Superman Blue. However, this would be ignoring the extreme duress Jonn had to endure from his Martian vulnerability to heat; a weakness Diana does not share to any comparable degree.

Circa: January, February, and March, 1998

I was gonna post saying Asmodel would stomp Diana. But then I realized I was confusing Asmodel with Invictus.What has Asmodel done to make people think he'd beat Diana? She's been on a roll in recent years and DC has been giving her a HUGE push. I can't stand WW but she wins here.
