Wonder Woman is not Superman. She’s not Batman, The Flash or Martian Manhunter either. So, for all the fuss that this cover to Wonder Woman #8 is creating, I couldn’t be happier about the current direction her title is going in.
Brian Azzarello has taken this opportunity to redefine - not the character, but rather, how she is perceived, and run with it. For all the stick she gets, Diana is an Amazon warrior who rivals Superman in strength, could tear Batman to pieces, and is more concerned with the outcome of the battle than who perishes in it.
I’m glad that DC has finally stopped trying to obscure what makes this character different. She can be brutal and she can use a gun, and based on the sales of the current Wonder Woman volume, the people are loving it.
