Reading "Wonder Woman" v2

[cdybedahl]

Is it just me, or did the entertainment value of this comic take a nosedive when Byrne took over the writing? The storytelling got a lot worse (I mean, spending almost an entire issue recapping the previous issue?), the plots totally stopped making sense and the slashiness level dropped from about 0.8 Xena to practically zero. Plus, all characters suffer from room-temperature IQ and MTV generation attention span.

Please tell me it gets better eventually?

the byrne run sucks to high heaven, imo. he did intro wonder girl 2 --cassie, so that's fairly important. other than that, the run was quite forgettable. i try not to think about that run as much as possible.

Yeah, that's Byrne. He sucks. In addition to the above, his artwork was really lazy, although he no longer inks with a texta. The book recovers somewhat under Phil Jimenez.

I forget which ones he did, though I'm sure I have them.

I liked the Cheetah and also the publicist Mindy (I think that was her name). I don't know if he did those parts.

The Silver Swan was teh suck.
