    Retroactive 1970s Wonder Woman isn't very good.

    For starters, the artwork really sucks. I just don't care for the style. I don't recall WW comics ever being drawn like that in the 70s. At least in none of the issues I had. Plus of all the 70s Bronze age goodness they could have paid homage to they do the depowered mod WW of the 60s? The back up reprint story is mod era too. At least the artwork is good though.

    Hopefully the 1980s one will be better.

    Picked up the 1970s Batman too. Haven't read it yet but the artwork looks good.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      The couple of pages I saw online looked like lots of big panels for the artwork and not a lot of copy...

          I felt the 70's Batman one looked more like early 90's. The story was good though.

          I liked the Wonder Woman story. I don't know much about WW from that time. I was expecting something more Linda Carterish I guess.

              The story was ok. Not what I wanted or expected though. Since it was a 70s issue I too thought they would have gone with the more popular and iconic Lynda Carter era WW and not the 60s mod one.

                  It was very disappointing, the art was terrible. I was hoping for a story set during the JLA "12 labors to rejoin" bit, or at least a tale set while Diana was working as a troubleshooter for the UN. I guess the '70s part was limited to using the old DC bullet. Apparently the legendary DC libraryu is long gone, and the editors/writers couldn't be bothered to use that there internet thingie.

                  And the reprint was from Wonder Woman #201 I believe, and stupidly ends on a non-reprinted cliffhanger (those two characters at the end are Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser).

                  Haven't read the Batman or Flash issues yet, but I'm not getting excited. I only ordered the '70s books anyway, the 80s & 90s stuff didn't look appealing.

                      I liked it but I have all those de-powered mod era books and I've read and enjoyed for them what they were so for me it pretty cool.
