Now, why the hell would the Amazon Princess wear a freaking short Jeans Jacker?
She looks just like Black Canary now..... Oh.. wait.... it's "Urb" Wonder Woman |

I was always fond of the "armored" version of Wonder-Woman's uniform, since it had the same basic structure, which I think is important for iconic characters, but it made some damn sense, as well as visually connecting her to her Amazon background.
The new look? I like this costume from a design standpoint, particularly the pants, as I feel they are a great update of the Division of the body that the Underwear-over-tights thing did, particularly how the Pants don't go JUNK!CROTCH!PUNANNY!DON'TLOOKATIT! and insead just divide up the form in two easy parts. I don't like it for Wonder Woman specifically, as it's just such a far departure from the iconic imagery, similar to Superman Blue/Red Also, that retcon shit? dumb dumb dumb.

So this was never really answered in the other thread: Why is the overall continuity so important to comics? Because really, every story about comics continuity I read is just some variation on how a continuity shattering event is finally going to clean up that pesky ol' continuity.
As for the actual change...I dunno, I've never read anything with WW as the main focus, and I've never really gotten a good handle on what her hook was. I do think they could have toned down the blatant Superman origin ripoff, and her new costume reminds a little of Rogue from the X-Men cartoon, but I think it's because of that weird jacket thing she has going on.

Don't read the comics, so this doesn't really effect me, but the new design is pretty nice.

The retcon itself seem ludicrously irrelevant.

I see nothing wrong with the costume (though it is a bit too similar to Black Canary's costume). The story needs some work but I've grown up knowing that nearly everything DC and Marvel do usually ends up sucking in the end. They have there good moments but there usually ruined and destroyed eventually.
Honestly no one could really complain about them ditching the half naked look without coming off the wrong way.

Really like the redesign, they even managed to make a jacket that doesn't look horribly out of place with the costume. Only the 'urban' environment that worries me, unless that's just a setup for future mythical stories. Overall, this sounds like a small arc that's getting retconned away very soon, unless it gets a good reception.
Probably the first Wonder Woman related story that I might read. |
