Wonder Woman #36 preview
I thought her time with Dinah would've taught her the need to go out and have a beer.
Newsarama has the preview for Wonder Woman #36

The first part of the preview sets up the internal struggle within Diana. Which leads to this.

Must be some good eggs. I know a few places along the Marin County coast that boast eggs worth getting beat up about.

This might be a set up for Diana to have a heart to heart with Giganta over breakfast about men. Would be interesting, given that time Diana interrupted Giganta's last date.

Honestly I can't tell. If the pink is meant to be a bald head, it's either a vulture or a stork. The beak says "stork," the flight profile and lack of trailing legs says "vulture." I know of no stork or vulture with that color pattern; the closest I can get is the black stork, but that's got a black head and the tail would be white from the underside. If that's not supposed to be a bald head I've got no gorram clue. Certainly it's no kind of coastal or seabird I or whatbird.com know of that you'd see anywhere off North American shores.

At a guess it's either an oddly-colored gull for sheer visual flavor, or an inaccurate swing at a vulture and an omen of Ares. But Gail was playing dirty pool with the eagle anyway, so I'm less compelled to indulge much curiosity this time around.

As I said, it's probably meant to be a vulture. Specifically, it's probably meant to be a red-headed vulture, that being the generic image of a vulture as far as most Americans are concerned. However, it looks enough not like one - the beak in particular is really jarring if you're at all into ornithology - that it could easily be something else (it looks as much like the aforementioned black stork, for instance, as it does like our red-headed vulture, being equally off-model for both). Basically trying to get any meaning out of a bird drawn like that is like being handed a spork as your only clue for what you're getting for dinner.
