I'm heartened by the possibility this could be JMS Wonder Woman in dress, only, and I like that hopeful cover.

I can't decide if JLofA needs more or less monkeys and alien bisexuals to make it interesting to me. Probably more. Maybe Donna could bring the bondage, and Dick could go sexually ambiguous again? No wait, Mark Millar can't/won't get work at DC anymore.

Ugh, the eyeshadow. I almost miss 90's biker Wondy. I mean, when you think about it, her track record to that point was pretty poor when it came to clothing, at least her personality was somewhat intact. Here she looks to angry.

Diabolu Frank said...

I'll give this image points over Deodato in that at least the anatomy is remotely human, and this one has visible eyes, even if they are crossed. Do you think the painter meant to evoke pigtails, though?

mathematicscore said...

Pigtails.

I think they were going for a batcape type effect. LAME-O.

LissBirds said...

Geez, I didn't notice the pigtails until you pointed it out. I was too busy focusing on the teeth.

That's very villainous-looking eye shadow. Besides, Wonder Woman doesn't need makeup. Hello...? Natural beauty?

JLA--less monkeys, please. Unless they're villainous monkeys. I'm getting a little tired of monkeys.

Diabolu Frank said...

She does look ready to take a bite out of crime, doesn't she? Plus she has a slight sneer, which is particularly wrong.

Monkeys are over. We're about squirrels now.
