The Malay Mail carried an article yesterday on Wonder Woman's latest wardrobe change. They even included the Jim Lee designs in the article. Well, newspaper reporters are really an ignorant lot. It's not really the first time Wondy has changed her costume (check out her other costume changes in this
CBR article). But of course, to make it all seem newsworthy, they say that she's changing it for the first time in 69 years. Wow! I do not dare imagine the B.O. if Diana took 69 years to change her costume for the first time. Of course, you don't want to confuse people by explaining that the Golden Age Wonder Woman is really Hippolyta, i.e. the present Wonder Woman's mother (who was killed in "
Our Worlds At War" and miraculously brought back to life by Circe in "
Amazons Attack" several years back).
Anyway, Gail Simone is off the book for good and J. Michael Straczynski is on the book as of (the renumbered) issue #600.
Read an interview with JMS on his direction for the book as well as the costume change at CBR.
