After 63 years of being pantless, Wonder Woman is finally covering herself up. In issue # 600 that came out today, our favorite Amazonian women got a facelift. She is now thinner then she already was, tits aren’t hanging out as much, and her who-ha is covered. So why are they going for such a drastic change?
J. Michael Straczynski is the new writer of the series and states that the character is in a new age.
It’s a look designed to be taken seriously as a warrior, in partial answer to the many female fans over the years who’ve asked, “how does she fight in that thing without all her parts falling out?”) She can close it up to pass unnoticed…open it for the freedom to fight…lose the jacket or keep it on…it has pockets (the other fan question, “where does she carry anything in that outfit?”, it can be accessorized…it’s a Wonder Woman look designed for the 21st century. The bracelets are still there, but made more colorful, tied on the inside and over the hand, with a script W on each of them that form WW when she holds them side by side…and if you get hit by one of them, it leaves a W mark. This is a Wonder Woman who signs her work…letting her enemies know that she’s getting closer.
“This is Wonder Woman reborn, literally and metaphorically: fast, elegant, tough, smart…the savior of her people, their guardian and protector…avenging the fall of Paradise Island, searching to discover why Paradise Island was abandoned by the gods. In the end, what she discovers will change her life and the world forever…and she will come face to face with a decision that will mean life or death for the entire human race.”
What is Adrienne Cary going to do now? I love seeing photos of her in the Wonder Woman costume, I hope she doesn’t switch to the new one. Keep sporting the old one, it’s sexier.
In other thoughts though, if this is the new age, then shouldn’t they just revamp every DC character. I think DC had an Ultimates version like they do for Marvel it would bring newer fans in. The Ultimate version is doing amazing for Marvel right now. If they have done something like this let me know, I would like to start reading them again. I miss reading comics but would have no clue where to start now because I have no clue what is going on these days.
