DC Comics is having a sale on its Wonder Woman digital comics at ComiXology.  As you can see from the images below, WONDER WOMAN #2-24 are finally available in digital.  I don't need to tell you that even at a 99 cents sale, the price is still well above the original 75 cents cover price.  To its credit, there are no advertisements in the digital version.

I'm also very unhappy at ComiXology iPad application, which crashes all the time (especially on first launch).  It's annoying, real comics don't crash when you open its pages.

Wonder Woman turns 65

By JEROME MAIDA

Posted on Wed, Jul. 05, 2006

AS WONDER WOMAN celebrates her 65thbirthday with an impressive relaunch of her comic series by writerAllan Heinberg and artists Terry and Rachel Dodson, it is clear thatthe character is an icon that transcends the comic-book world.

(excerpt)

Then in 1987, DC relaunched thecharacter with a new #1, spearheaded by George Perez, who emphasizedthe character's mythological roots.

For two decades, his interpretation hasbeen considered the definitive version of character and has influencedall subsequent writers.

But after just one issue, Heinberg's 2006 relaunch seems poised to redefine Wonder Woman for years to come.

Topic: Mr. Byrne....Q about Fearbook

Posted: November 25 2004 at 2:32pm

When I was offered WONDER WOMAN there were a lot of things that came immediately to mind -- not the least of which being that I would have to be out of my frigging mind to follow George Perez, even if it was ten years later.

One of the actual story concepts that came to me, tho, in the midst of my fear and trepidation, was to wonder just how our Decent, God Fearing Nation would respond to a woman who was walking around claiming to have, you know, actually met the Greek Gods. Bound not to sit too well with the Jerry Falwells, I figured.

Unfortunately, this also seemed like a story that I could not really handle properly in a monthly superhero comic. (Hey! This was ten years ago! Today, I know, I could do 200 pages of Wonder Woman pacing her apartment worrying about all this.Now that's comic books!) Then I was asked to do the novel, and I realized that was a perfect place to explore all the themes this idea suggested.

CATCHING UP WITH DICK GIORDANO

(excerpt)

Though several of the revamps that followed were successes for DC - George Pérez's Wonder Womanrepresented one of the few times the characters sold well, he remarked- the fixes in some cases created as many problems as they solved.

"I have to admit that, after Crisiswas over, I wasn't watching things as closely and we got new continuityglitches built in by the writers and editors who were there," he said.

Giordano said that one mistake he made was not following writer [Marv] Wolfman's suggestion to restart the entire line with new first issue following Crisis. However, he said he didn't feel that he had the creative personnel for such a comprehensive relaunch.

Wonder Woman (Warner Bros.)

MAJOR PLAYERS: Joel Silver (producer), Becky Johnson (screenwriter)

RELEASE DATE: In early pre-production

PREMISE: An Amazon princess born andraised on Paradise Island far from the eyes of men, Diana becomesprotector of the free world. Possessing the strength and beauty of theGreek goddesses Aphrodite and Athena, she is Wonder Woman!

THE LOWDOWN: While still in the earlystages of production, producer Joel Silver assures fans that a WonderWoman film will definitely come to fruition; it’s just a question ofwhen and who will play the Amazonian goddess. “We're going to make‘Wonder Woman’ at some point,” says Silver, who was quick to mentionthat the long-rumored Sandra Bullock won’t be starring. “At one point,we talked to her about it and she was intrigued with it. It’s come along way since then.”

DID YOU KNOW: Sure, Lucy Lawless wouldmake the perfect Wonder Woman. We’d take Sandra Bullock or evenCatherine Zeta-Jones, but would you believe Kelly Osbourne has beenrumored to be up for the role? Sources at Warner Bros. indicate Ozzy’sfoul-mouthed offspring actually had a screen test. God bless thepersonal trainer who’s recruited to whip Osbourne into shape!

Oh, The Wonder of Her Virginity

February 2003

by Rebecca Salek

Wonder Woman, Sex, An Island Fulla Maybe-Lesbians, And What the Heck Is a Virgin, Anyway?

(excerpt)

When the series was relaunched in 1986by George Perez, that origin changed only a little structurally; butthe changes were profound mythologically. In the new series, the Amazons were created from clay by all the Goddesses of Olympus; theywere the reborn souls of women whose lives were cut short by the violence of men; Queen Hippolyte herself had been murdered by anenraged husband millennia earlier. The Amazons made their home in thebeautiful city of Themiscyra, but, while they interacted with men,theirs was a single-sex society. When Herakles (Hercules) and his menmarched against the city, the Amazons were seduced, tricked, defeated,chained, slaughtered, and raped. The Goddesses freed the Amazons, whothen turned on their attackers. But the Amazons' freedom had a heavyprice: they were exiled to a distant island where, in exchange for watching over an ancient evil buried by the Gods, they were grantedeternal life and eternal youth.

How, then, to understand the Amazons?How do we define them sexually? Can they be understood as strictlyheterosexual or strictly homosexual, as we define the terms in ourtwo-gender world? Or even bisexual?

Wonder Woman

Greg's Preview

(excerpt)

Release Date Notes: (7/25/02)This will probably be a summer tentpole release of whatever year it'seventually slotted for; as of this writing, with it expected to followBatman vs Superman, the earliest it's likely to be seen is in 2005 orlater.

Based Upon: The long-running andpopular superheroine, as published by DC Comics. This will be the firstfeature film about her, although there was a flurry of activity on TVin the 1970's. First, Cathy Lee Crosby starred in a 1974 telefilm. Ayear later, Lynda Carter starred in another telefilm that placedPrincess Diana in World War II (where she got her start in the comics),which became a popular TV series that aired in 1976-1979. 1977 broughta move from ABC to CBS, and a modern setting. Oh, and Debra Winger'scareer pretty much started with her supporting role as Wonder Girl inthree episodes in season one. NBC was considering a new TV series in1998, but scrapped it.

Official Site: WonderWomantheMovie.com (probably won't be active until filming gets started, someday)

(Vu: As of this writing, this project isn't based on anything created by George Pérez, but it should be interesting to see.)

The Amazon Princess (May 2002)

by Tony Wolf

(excerpt)

It's proven hard for Wonder Womanto sustain her own comic book and to keep sales high. However, the1980s began a new era of potential greatness for our Amazon Princess.George Perez's now-legendary reboot, following on the heels of JohnByrne's famous Superman reboot, was perhaps the most successfulinterpretation of Diana. Incorporating her Greek mythology roots,addressing her non-superhero nature and instead emphasizing herfrustration at being an ambassador of peace who was frequently forcedto battle evil forces, Perez's run was truly great for about the firsttwenty issues or so. Then Perez turned the art over to someone else,and somehow the writing seemed to stray a bit from there on.

But Perez also gave Diana an intriguingnew supporting cast, full of complex characters (mostly women). He gaveDiana a publicist, the ill-fated and complex Mindi Mayer. He gave herJulia Kapetilis and her daughter. He showed Diana speaking at the UN,as well as designing outfits for her that emphasized her regal,classical status over her swimsuit attire. I think most writers agreethat it's hard to take Wonder Woman seriously when she's wearing aswimsuit that we all try to accept is supposed to be battle armor.

Perez emphasized the Amazon heritage and showed us the society on Paradise Island. He re-imagined classic WWvillains like Cheetah, Dr. Psycho, the Silver Swan, and introducedCirce and Ares, the God of War, as primary new adversaries. He gave usa fun twist on the Steve Trevor/Etta Candy relationship, and gave ussome fascinating reasons why an Amazon warrior's costume would sportsuch distinctively American symbols.

But Perez's great run on the book (sales of which were high, if I recall correctly) soon withered, and by the '40s, vol. II of Wonder Womanhad fallen back to its usual status: a book few paid attention to.Despite some interesting story ideas (one tale featuring Eris, Goddessof Discord, and her famous apples, was commendable), WW seemed to be mediocre once again.
