Agent Diana Prince

[samurainoir]

We've had over a year's worth of Agent Diana Prince.



What is your verdict on Wonder Woman's "new" secret identity?

I am really starting to see the potential now that Gail Simone has come on board as writer.

I don't know. I know that comics obviously need to keep with the times, but I'm really a fan of vintage Wonder Woman. I collect those ones (especially when The Huntress appears...amazing!).

I'm really liking the new agent prince. It's kind of cool and her white outfit reminds of the Wonder Woman with I-Ching in the 60s? or was it 70s?

I always liked Diana's Emma Peel incarnation from back in '68. Didn't they pay homage to that during the brief Walt Simonson arc a few years back?

Interesting that I-Ching has returned as well in the pages of Morrison's Batman.

toyroom I'm not sure about that. If it was done about the time John Byrne did the book I would have missed it. I only went back to buying her comic recently with the last 10 or so from the volume 2 series and now on the volume 3 series. It was the only time in my collecting Wonder Woman comics that I couldn't stand the comic so much I just couldn't buy it. I hated John's She-Hulk looking Wonder Woman. I didn't go back to comics for years. I guess It made me lose interest but went back just to see and have been picking up new ones at different spots since. Maybe someone else knows for sure I'd like to see it now. I-Ching in Batman comics is interesting I'll have to check that out too.

Yes. And for the fact that Diana's haircut made it into mainstream news, it was an incredibly boring storyline. The original one was much better, although if I recall correctly, didn't Hippolyta strip Diana's memories of that time right before she returned to her regular costume?

[jemboy2004]

Yes Del that is correct. The fact that Diana never mourned the death of I-Ching always bothered me alot! I-Ching was Very close to her at that time in her Comics and was a father figure to her and she just forget him when he died and never showed her mourn him. They should have had her go to the funeral at least.

I'd like to see them collect all of the Mod Wonder Woman stories in a full-color trade paperback (no b/w Showcase Presents please)
