He's right. A Wonder Woman who is not half naked is just wrong.
I just read issue #600.
So, JMS new run is going to be that the gods are toying with her. They've altered her history and hers alone. Sounds eerily similar to the Mephisto thing he didn't like.

The lotus weed on Paradise Island is really strong stuff . . . .
The fact that they've given her the silly new '90's biker chick costume doesn't bother me nearly as much as the lame origin re-boot. Yet another re-boot? A plea to comics writers: If you don't like a character/concept, then come up with your own ideas from scratch---create your own characters! Quit re-booting, already! It's lazy, and it's lame.
And specifically on the topic of JMS: I enjoyed B5 a whole helluva lot---I proudly own all 5 seasons on DVD, but why the hell is he incapable of properly writing a fricking super-hero comic? He has the same disease as Joss Whedon and Kevin Smith---he can write for the screen, but not for funnybooks. It really is a separate medium unto itself, folks. And super-heroes are a very specific genre within that medium. It's not as easy as it looks to get this stuff right. But try to treat it with a _little_ respect, okay, Big Time TV/Movie Guys? Thanks so much!

Much as I love B5 and JMS, all his comic books end up the same. The main character becomes morose and navel-gazing. He hardly ever fights anybody. There is a revelation of some mystical/mythology connection to his/her origins that contradicts previous continuity. Rising Stars. Spider-Man. Thor. And now Superman and Wonder Woman.
JMS' first Superman story did not impress. Okay, he's walkig across America to get back in touch with the common folks. He spends this issue fixing a car, cleaning a storeroom,talking down a suicidal woman and scaring off some drug dealers. Sound like something he could have done in Metropolis on any given day. ( before having lunch) He also shook up some poorly dressed overweight guy (who's apparently an on air TV reporter )after the guy backtalked. He gives some philosophical meanerings on heroism to some other guy and then "To Be Continued"
I hope we won't be getting a year of this. Why cant we get a confident, head together Superman?

Well he did watch his people get wiped out AGAIN.
So he takes little downtime on the farm, hangs with Lois and Ma and then gets back to work after X amount of time. ( all off camera)
I haven't read the Superman comic yet. I'm mostly looking forward to JMS' Superman Earth One (?) graphic novel, though. It's going to be a direct-to-graphic-novel format, which is rather unusual. I hear he's supposed to be the only person with superpowers in that universe (an origin story giving him a chance to consider all his options: becoming a scientist with kryptonian knowledge/a superstar athlete/etc.)
What I read of Supreme Power was pretty wicked cool.
In the equivalent of a comic book year he has not only lost his adopted father, but seen the country that he identifies with commit a series of provocations that lead to General Zod taking control, the mass genocide of his race and the man responsible given a presidential pardon.
Yep. All the more reason to chill out O.S. and then get back to being Superman again.
Actually it's a pretty good reason for him to tell humanity to f#$k off and then leave.
Not quite happy with it, but working on this shoulder-less version a bit this evening:
Okay, this is perfect as a "new" WW design. Personally, I would love to see a more coppery-red for the top and boots, to echo the "bronze age" armor of her Grecian heritage.
By the way, how exactly does a shoulder jacket communicate "urban"? To be honest, it says "cowgirl" more that it does "urban", and even that's tenuous at best given the rest of the costume, save for the lasso.
Why not given her a ten gallon hat, pigtails and buck-teeth, if you wanted to giver her an excuse for the jacket? It'd make more sense...
