Wonder Woman #4: We're not exactly breaking major new ground here, but that's not typically expected in an origin retelling; and Diana hasn't had one of those in canon since 1987, so this was probably overdue, given all the stuff that has changed since then. Like I commented earlier, it's nice to have back the civilized, compassionate Amazons. There are a few tweaks here to the basic template that are noticeable, such as Diana not competing in disguise (which make Hippolyta look less selfish) and Steve being unable to communicate with anybody on Themyscira -- I wonder if the latter change was motivated by Rucka not wanting there to be any implication that Diana volunteered for the mission because she thought Steve was hot? We also get an Amazon-centric origin for the invisible jet, something that has repeatedly proved a challenge for post-Crisis writers; though even here, it seems a little disconnected from the rest of the Amazons' technology levels. Nicola Scott's art is goddamn gorgeous. So many different facial types, so many great, subtle expressions.
