As for this new princess, she is much younger, seemingly embroiled in a strange time warp story (It does explain why she has changed so much from issue to issue), and senses that something is wrong, though she doesn’t know exactly what that is. Straczynski definitely goes for the total reboot of Wonder Woman here, breaking completely from the previous continuity though he doesn’t try to pretend that the old Diana never existed, but weaves her different incarnations into this tale. Well, after finishing this one and simmering on it for a while, I have to say I like it – with a few “buts.” Sure, I’d read less-than-stellar reviews about this series, but I was willing to give Straczynski the benefit of the doubt until he showed me my trust was misplaced. I was cool with whatever – as long as the re-boot was well-thought out, had an interesting story, and treated this iconic hero with the respect she deserved. All I’m saying is that – while I’m a long-time fan of Diana – I didn’t come into this one having any preconceived notions about what the creative team could or could not do. Okay, I have to be honest here: I don’t consider myself a diehard Wonder Woman fan.
