WONDER WOMAN #2
Written by Allan Heinberg
Art and cover by Terry Dodson & Rachel Dodson

The shocks continue as Wonder Girl confronts the all-new Wonder Woman, challenging the position she's assumed in the DCU. But their battle of wills is cut short when the titanic Giganta arrives on the scene, taking New York City hostage and forcing Wonder Woman to make a decision that could end her new career before it's even begun.

Man Alex, i've been away from the comic world too long!  I noticed a new Warlord, have you read them?  If so how does it stack up to the old Warlord?  I may just have to get re-acquainted with Skartaris.

I've collected the first three issues, and I have mixed feelings about it thus far.  Rather then picking up where Mike Grell's version left off and carrying it forward (such as finally giving us some resolution about Travis and Tara's son, last seen in Wizard's World), they've choosen to relauch it in a way that apparently has nothing to with the version of Skartaris and the Travis Morgan that we knew so well.  (i.e. the .44 Automag pistol is missing from his person or that by the looks of his future-tech aircraft it seems he comes from a world maybe several decades from now.)  Artworkwise, as a subjective rule I'm not too keen on scratchy styles in rendering, but that's just me, others might feel differently.  Storywise, even with revised format I'm still planing to stick with it for a while longer just to see if it can improve itself – but if they can't I'm guessing they'll just cancel it after a dozen or so issues.

Another old school revision that I did enjoy greatly (being very fond of the original 70's version) was the recent OMAC run that tied into the Infinite Crisis.  You might want to check that one out along with Checkmate which has been spun off from it.

Cool beans, thanks Alex.  Okay, having just read the interview with the writer it looks like a "reimagining" (?), kind of like the new Battlestar Galactica.

Giganta is also in WW #1, out yesterday.

Thanks for the head up, Delmo.  😀

Word about her appearance in #1 has also been noted over on giantess.com, complete with a couple of scans in the archive.

Giganta looks kinda skinny.

Giganta just appeared in Justice #6, which came out Wednesday.

WW #2 finally came out. Do you think this is the writer's fault, or the artist's?

If you mean the timeliness I heard that the writer is a bit of perfectionist and would go through a lot of rewrites.
