Wonder Woman #36 Preview
Up at The Source

Not really feeling the Diana from here and Secret Six that just seems ready to 'bust heads first, ask questions later' even with her thoughts all over the place, though I'm see where it's going.

	That art brings me to tears. In a good way. I think her eagerness to bust heads be due to her thoughts being all over the place? (Reply to this)

	One imagines Diana is less concerned with American law than genuine justice. That said, though, it's entirely possible there was some kind of pardon/double jeopardy thing associated with the Planet Australia clusterfuck, and she hasn't done anything since then, so she could be legally in the clear as well.

	Giganta doesn't have much of a rap sheet that you can pin on her anyway... aside from the BIG one that she kidnapped and/or killed that circus strongwoman whose body she's using. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Comics and physics just aren't meant to mix. If they were Superman catching a falling Lois Lane mid-plummet, at least with how it's normally depicted, would probably be a horrifying thing to watch.

Though, speaking of size(at least somewhat), I am reminded of this thought that's been bugging me about a hypothetical fight between a giant!Wondy & a normal!Supes(or any character who can go really fast) OR tiny!Supes & Normal!Wondy. Like where the size difference is enough that Superman's fist is the size of the tip of a bullet. Assuming he got around her defenses and worked up enough speed, I have to wonder, would a punch from mini!Supes cause a more visible injury than one from normal!Supes due to her being more vulnerable to piercing 'weapons'(bullets being included despite the blunt tip only because they move fast enough they might as well be sharp)?

	Jeez, Diana, do you have to be so mean? It's not like Giganta was ever evil on the lines of Dr. Psycho or some of the other creeps out there. You could find them, instead. Honestly, I'm not sure I like her behavior here. I know that she's all freaked out, but, hey, she's frickin' Wonder Woman. Part of her charm is that she's a good person even when she's all messed up.

Reading the preview, her behavior doesn't seem that unreasonable, and especially not for Wonder Woman on a bad day.

Sure, Diana may have smacked Giganta around partly because she was pissed off. But Giganta, a known super-criminal, was apparently stomping around while giant sized and in her supervillain suit. Wonder Woman did tell her to knock it off before attacking, and she did stop fighting when Giganta made it clear she wanted to talk.

	Did you read the preview? Giganta seems to have simply been in the wrong place (near Diana) at the wrong time (after all the previous bullshit she's been through in both her own title and what happened in Secret Six). (Reply to this) (Parent)

well the fact she stoped long enough to listen should probably prove that she acknowledging her... jumping the gun-ness

heh i can see the gods now

Zeus: I know Diana has abandoned us, but she is still our child, let us send her this beautiful sun rise and another superpowered female of whom also has been having man problems....

*a few hours later*

Zeus: so how is Diana's day going?

Hera: She's enjoying the sunset, but she is beating and waterboarding the *ahem* companion you sent her...

Zeus: *Sigh* i tried.....

	Well, Giganta did wear Diana's sister like a cheap necklace, and literally raise the roof when she thought Wonder Woman as doing the dirty with Choi behind her back on the last date she was on. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Question: Are Ryan and Giganta still dating? If so, geez Diana, lay off Doris, will you? It really seemed that being together with Ryan did her some good, as a person. Whatever happened to that? I wouldn't mind her switching sides, or at least considering it. Giant Woman and shrinky guy is pure genius as a pairing, is all I'm saying. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ooops, read the full preview now and I'm quite pleased with where this seems to be going. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Giant Woman and shrinky guy is pure genius as a pairing, is all I'm saying. Motto. The inverse has been done often enough with Gim/Salu in the various Legion incarnations. Then you have the Pyms, who can do both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am embarrassed and delighted to say that the pairing hadn't occurred to me until the great Patton Oswalt mentioned it in a letter to me. I immediately stole the idea with his blessing and it became my favorite part of that book! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Diana: (What a rotten day. Dumped by my boyfriend, now this.) STAND DOWN!
Giganta: Wait!
*WHAM* *SPLASH* *POW*
Giganta: Guh-lllbb! STOP!
Diana: Make it quick.
Giganta: I'm here on a DATE! Not that YOU would know anything about THAT...
*WHAM* *SPLASH* *POW*
Giganta: Guh-lllbb!

And ... seriously. As much as I hate hearing other people say that -- seriously. Because I hate being serious. I badly want to know what Diana was thinking. Already she's pushing the spear back. What was her mistake? Was she tired of "always the bridesmaid" at the weddings of Barry and Iris, Ralph and Sue, Clark and Lois, Dinah and Ollie -- let's not talk about Wally and Linda? Is she tired of being surrounded by physically fit, attractive people -- "water, water everywhere"? Is she a chip off the block, in that Polly desperately wanted a child enough to pester Aphrodite until she gave in? Do Amazons have normal human feelings and the capacity to let their guard down, make an error in judgment (rushing from first date to measuring curtains)? If the answer is yes to some or most of these, then yay! Diana is more like us than she is like Dr. Manhattan. I was getting worried.

	Some stupidity about purely wanting to breed with Nemesis to repopulate the Amazons but not actually loving him that came out during the showdown with Genocide. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	retro_nouveau 2009-09-24 01:36 pm UTC (link)
	I remember the "repopulation" thing. I think it was just Genny trying to hurt Diana. I think the grain of truth is that Diana wanted Themiscyra to continue, even if it would only be Diana, her mother, her husband and one or two ~~or ten if Polly has any say~~ kids. Repopulating is a moot point now anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So many questions. Giganta... on a date? Will Ryan Choi make an appearance? Will Diana need help with her sexy fight? Will Diana at some time "need her hands free" during said sexy fight? Will this result in Ryan exploding from sheer joy? (Reply to this) (Thread)
