10:53 pm [xdoop] [Link]	Gail Simone: Wonder Woman's Achilles is gay Over at the DC Boards, Gail revealed that Achilles is gay. Yeah, no point in being coy. Historically, Achilles was bi, but in this era, he's absolutely gay. It's just part of who he is. DC has a ton of lesbians, but not that many gay heroes or even anti-heroes. He's not meant to be a token, I think he's a pretty cool character on his own and if he gets a chance to shine, I think we'll see that--up til now it's mostly been potential. But RotO was about good intentions and how even people with good intentions can destroy worlds if they're not careful, so he's been put in a terrible position--his faith in the gods is pretty much absolute, but it puts him in direct conflict with what he believes is right, like his respect for Diana and Hippolyta. I have a lot of sympathy for a person in that position, I think we've all been there where what we believe in conflicts with who we have faith in. Gail also said that Alkyone was gay in a thread over at CBR.

11:55 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	The introduction of Giganta THIS IS ONE OF THE CRACKIEST WW STORIES EVER. The story reveals Marston's usual lack of compunction about deus ex machina and, shall we say, casual grasp of science. Remember that he was a psychologist, with more than a hint of the huckster about him. His editor revealed years later that "if I had let him put in all the symbolism and stuff he wanted to, the stories would have been even weirder." The mind boggles. This story was 36 pages long, so there are lots of scans, 9 pages worth. Good thing, because I didn't want to have to drop any of them. Also, you can see Silver Age Giganta here.

11:25 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman Just one image today. This is from Wonder Woman #8, 1944. If you read the Golden Age WW stories, you start to see that Paradise Island was developing quite an immigrant population, including women from Venus, Atlantis, America, Germany.... And come to think of it, most of them had criminal records. This could become a real problem. That is, if you didn't keep them all tied up.

10:24 pm [sailorlibra] [Link]	The Relationship of Ferdinand and Leslie Bluefall's recent WWwA posts got me to thinking about one of my favorite and highly unappreciated couples. The best two Wondie supporting cast characters ever and I had to create both of their comicvine pages myself. It's a crying shame, that's what it is. But here I am, ready to educate the masses on the awesomeness of their relationship.

01:18 am [bluefall] [Link]	The Many Faces of Barbara Minerva, part 7 (Leopard Print Pants) Well, here we are, after admittedly quite a hiatus, with the final repost of my Cheetah series. This overlaps the prior Pfeifer chapter a lot in terms of publish dates, and actually all falls before the Salvation Run stuff as far as the in-universe timeline goes, but chronologically and thematically it's more recent, it's essentially consistent with the most recent Cheetah, and being the take in JLA, it's probably the one that's going to stick with the average fan for a good while regardless of anything Gail might yet do in the Wondy title, so "current" it remains. Which is depressing, but more in a mildly melancholy way than the frustrating VU stuff or the outright stupid Pfeifer Cheetah. Because while this Cheetah is still clearly of that same ilk, she's at least got some nuance to her beyond the mindless cardboard sociopath, and a bit of a suggestion of what she once was. ( JLA, Heinberg, That Wedding, and where poor abused Dr. Minerva is now. ) I have no further chapters to promo the way I usually do after the cut, but dedicated Cheetah fans, if there are any left after this tremendous fall from grace, may be interested in checking out the current Grand Unified Theory of Cheetahs, which achieves the extraordinary by reconciling all seven chapters of this series into a single coherent character arc by dint of massive unsupportable fanwank.

10:14 am [mosellegreen] [Link]	Golden Age Wonder Woman: The Origin Well, the next post in my archives is from Wonder Woman #1, 1942, which somebody else already handled quite well here. I'll just repost one panel which seriousfic also posted, which I found especially amusing. ( Wonder Woman goes to the circus. ) On to the next post. In Wonder Woman #1, published in 1942, the story of her origin is retold.
