![]() ![]() ![]() What I’ve no doubts about is that this era deserved a better end than Wonder Woman #203. I waver back and forth on whether the diversity of stories shows the New Wonder Woman was a wonderfully flexible set-up or whether Sekowsky wound up throwing ideas at the wall. ![]() A couple of stories show Diana going to visit her mother on Paradise Island, which may have been fun for older fans but also undercuts the brand new Not Your Mother’s Amazing Amazon image the book was trying for. Then there were one-off stories such as Diana and I Ching stopping at a bed and breakfast ghosts are using to prey on travelers. In some stories Diana functions as a neighborhood hero, protecting people living near her boutique from various threats most were mundane but we also had the chaos sorceress Morgana. We met Lu Shan, I Ching’s vengeful daughter (she says I Ching killed her mom, though we never learn how). There were more stories of international intrigue and battles with Dr. After setting up the new status quo for Diana Prince, no longer super but still formidable, Mike Sekowsky’s stories went in multiple directions. One thing about the “white pantsuit” era of Wonder Woman (though she didn’t wear that outfit half as much as people remember), it didn’t stick to a formula. ![]()
