The History of Jason Todd (Part 3) -- Teen Titans Go! Okay, so we know that Jason started his time as Robin as a bit of a brat. But his character evolved a BIT differently in other comics. For example, while Jason in Batman was rude, scowling, kind of a know-it-all, and increasingly violent... in the short time he was on the Teen Titans he wasn't so bad at all! (Donna Troy though? She comes off pretty poorly...)

The Many Faces of Barbara Minerva, part 4 (Phil Jimenez) I actually lied when I started this series; Cheetah doesn't show up in every run of Wonder Woman. Luke never touches her (or any other Wondy rogue, barring his own obligatory reintroduction of a Golden Ager), so for our next take on Cheetah we jump ahead to Jimenez' run and a tale that can probably be most accurately summed up, both in its content and its absurdity, by two words: Boy Cheetah.
Now last time, I called this story "confusing," which isn't entirely true. Provided you know who Fury *is*, how her powers work and how she's involved with the Wonders, and are able to keep track of a story told in two-page installments over the course of twenty issues, it's actually pretty straightforward right up until the very end. And even then it's more plot-hole-y than genuinely hard to follow.
However, the fundamental point of it seems to have been "let's get rid of Barbara Minerva, Cheetah works so much better as a man," which... what? I mean, I'm the first to admit the woman's been a little inconsistent as a character but seriously, what?
Next time: Rucka and Johns compete over who can annoy me more. To no one's surprise, Johns wins handily.

An unusual piece of Bill Sienkiewicz commercial art... (And some Perez Titans) I came across this years ago on holiday in France, and only just found it again whilst spelunking through several strata of old boxes in my flat.
( Superpowered teenagers in Bill's trademark style ) ( And for legality, Robin teaches Starfire English )

When Wondy was Awesome, part 9 (From Hell to Olympus) Time for another author switch! We've left WML behind with the 100-issue spectacular and the death of Artemis, and now Diana's out of the stupid black straptastic bra and out of Boston, and into the hands of John Byrne.
Byrne's run is... hard to pin down. The man wrote with an agenda; there were things he wanted to fix and things he wanted to change and that's what he did. And a lot of those things were good. He repaired most of the damage WML did toward the end of his run, both to Diana and, to some degree, to Polly. He built an actual Wonder Family out of Donna and Cassie and Artemis. He made a point of making Diana unique and ridiculously first-tier badass, firmly establishing how high she belonged in the DCU power hierarchy.
( Diana really attracts a lot of writers who do their own art, doesn't she? )
Next time: Diana teams up with Zauriel, has a romance with a guy who, miracle of miracles, is actually worth her time, and saves all of creation. And the art is wicked cool.
