So what do WW readers make of Cassie aka Wonder Girl being the daughter of Zeus? On one hand, it's a little too convenient, given how she was introduced into the WW comic; on another, it does open up intriguing new possibilites. Since Cassie is now a demigoddess, does this mean that she may one day eclipse Wonder Woman in strength and abilities? Also, how does this affect her relationship with the rest of Greek pantheon? Athena was her patron goddess, now she finds out that her patron goddess is her older half-sister. Cassie's got an entire set of relatives, some of which would act as protective guardians, others that would happily screw her (perhaps literally! Oh, those incestuous greek gods...) over if it suited their goals. Ah, the trials and tribulations of family...

I think it's just fine...didn't really evoke strong feelings in me one way or the other. Someone recently established that this means Donna Troy is now Cassie's aunt and Diana is...who knows. But whatever, works for me. Adds some greater depth to Byrne's cheesy introduction of her (when she was just a plucky little awkward girl who asked Zeus to give her powers).

I think Rucka's WW is about to get real interesting given that she just killed Max Lord and the cover of the next issue has her being taken away in handcuffs by the authorities...should be fun. I've been enjoying WW under Rucka, surely the best WW in many years.

That pic of Wondy in handcuffs is sure to get the fetishists going...

As for the killing of Max Lord, it's possible that WW's role of a diplomat may give her immunity, and that's how she'll not serve jail time. I'm enjoying Rucka's run as well. Though I also like Phil Jimenz's run too. He had some amazing character moments, and of course the art was beautiful too.

Are you familiar with William Moulton Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, Pooky?

Yes, I am Rabideyemovement. I know that the dude invented the lie detector and WW too (hence WW's magic lasso with the truth telling abilities). I remember reading about WM a few years ago in an article on the Net. Seems he was quite the colorful character - he lived with two women in one household and sired children with them both, if memory serves.
