I got this issue at a yard sale.

It will be valuable someday.

Byrne's WW run is getting hardcovers in time for the movie

This was a complete reinvention of the Cheetah, who before this was literally just a lady in a costume.

Speaking of, when are you going to run Byrne's run, Texas? You've been mentioning it for a while.

Yeah, meanwhile the second Perez paperback reprint still isn't out yet.

>>92676004
I suppose I could do it soon, it's just exceptionally boring for the first ten issues or so.

Got to push that omnibus first. Looks like DC is finally going to put out paperback's of Simonson's Orion 2 years after the omni, maybe they will have actually fixed the order

Byrne's run is basically a lot of ideas without any kind of compelling story to tie them all together.

And also Byrne uses it as a vessel to do a bunch of bad Demon retcons.

This is why Perez's Diana is so beloved. She's so sweet and sensitive, not naive but naturally trusting and optimistic.

And I think Rucka's new run captured that pretty well, especially in Year One, which is odd because I'd say his first run was one of the worst in terms of Diana being a bit cold and stern.

Not to say that nobody did lie, but they probably got tired of any kind of squabbling long ago.

Later on in this run she actually overuses the Cheetah too much and becomes able to transform without the ceremony, but it makes her even more feral.

Basically Perez uses three main villains in his 62 issues: Cheetah, Silver Swan, and Circe, who each get a complete character/developmental arc.

Ares and his kids and one surprise villain I'm not gonna spoil don't get arcs, though.

At the time there was none, Sandman wasn't until a few years later.

In continuity Greek Morpheus is an aspect of the Sandman, like how Hades is an aspect of Death.

>Worshiping shitty gods is a theme of this run.
It's a common theme of pretty much every run. And it's why I hate the Olympians so much.

Y'know, people are always ignorantly going on about how allegedly flawless the Amazons are. Know what, faggots? Here's one: THEY WORSHIP THE GREEK GODS. Like holy shit, ladies, what in the actual fuck is wrong with you?
