I heart Gail Simone. ( )

I think Mercedes Lackey's introduction is better read after rather than before the story. And I agree with her. Gail Simone has taken Wonder Woman, respected a lot of the back story, added in some interesting details and created a great story. Dragging in some characters from before and making a story that stands well on it's own and makes her into a powerful character of her own. The inclusion of Etta Candy was fun.

Having read a bit about Women in superhero comics recently I can see where Gail Simone made conscious decisions to fix some issues and explore how and why Wonder Woman is a hero in her own right without needing others to justify her, and at the same time acknowledging that sometimes some backup, no matter where it comes from, is a good thing.
