Wonder Woman #34
Ready for a Wonder Woman and Black Canary team-up?

Starting off from after the preview, skipped a page there, we find Diana and Dinah getting ready to infiltrate (what is assumed to be) Roulette's underground meta-fights. In the process of getting ready we find that Dinah is truly a master of disguise.

Brilliant!
And so, one ride in the invisible jet later, they're ready to put their camo to the test.

And they're in!
Yes, there is some bit of goings on over on Themyscira of note and some dwelling on deeper things but overal it was a pretty fun issue despite(because of?) a bit of the old cage match storyline and, if the last page is any indication, the next issue should be pretty fierce.

Bluefall's posts are making me re-think the Diana Rockwell thing a bit, too. I always liked it, but I assure you, she and I are in the very small minority regarding that tale and its impact on Diana. But there might be a way to reconcile both more clearly so that it's more obvious that the older story isn't retconned away. I'll give it some thought. I hate negation in the first place.

Hmm... well, one thing Perez did was have Amazons imprint themselves upon little girls who were rescued from shipwrecks or boating accidents. Spiritually speaking, those girls and their descendents (regardless of gender) were at least partially Amazon because of it. Julia Kapatelis is one such example, which is one reason why Diana and the Kapatelis family clicked as beautifully as they did. Who's to say that Betsy Ross isn't another such girl, or a descendent thereof? If so, then having the Amazons "inspire" the American flag, and having that flag later be taken as an important symbol by the Amazons helps to bring it full circle.

Diana Rockwell Trevor may or may not have an "Amazon spirit." The power of the story comes from Diana Rockwell being an outsider, and her having the spirit would be very elegant but it could also rob the story of some of its power. I have not yet chosen a stance in that regard.
