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?

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.

All of those are before his time. And the Silver Swan thing has a slight saving grace in that the storyline is very, very slashy.

Hmm was he the guy who wrote that weird Doctor guy who killed WW then? If so, isn't he technically a writer of V.3?

He doesn't do much memorable at all, really. Diana moves away from Julia Katapelis shortly after he took over writing, and the weird stuff with her become Goddess of Truth was him as well.
