For me the ideal Post Crisis runs are:
Perez to Jimenez to Rucka, which now ironically, Rucka's second run circles back to Perez's take on the origin, more or less.

Yeah, I had the same experience. The early Gilbert stories are stronger than the first Jaime stuff. Though now, I go back and forth on which one I like better. Gilbert is super Lynchian, whereas Jaime produces the actual adult Archie comics I've always wanted to read.

I think the current Batman run is pretty daring and a big improvement for the character. But I largely enjoy a lot of Rebirth in general: Deathstroke, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Superman, etc etc

Honestly, I didn't hate the Wonder Woman annual, but I sure didn't love it either. I felt like the Rucka story aside, two of the shorts told the exact same story with Diana assisting a misunderstood creature, and the Moreci-Hans narrative just about veered into that same territory too.

Cool.

I got hung up on the mostly-text issue which stopped me dead cold on the series. Since then, I just can't work up much interest.

I can't begin to tell you how much it made me dismay that the only big Wonder Woman release this week, beyond a ho-hum annual, was a hardcover collection of John Byrne's not particularly good run.

Highly recommend Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight, which just wrapped this week. Rucka's Wonder Woman is also very strong, and I think there's a lot of appeal in the current Tomasi Superman run.

I read every single Wonder Woman comic Post-Crisis, from Perez, which I picked up as a kid, through the terrible Messner-Loebs era, to the really iffy Byrne days, and frankly…I'm not sure there's a run of that book that I cherish more than when Jimenez came on, followed by a short Simonson go, into the first Rucka…

Sad to say, but I've never been in love with any of Rucka's creator owned stuff. Even the much cherished Queen and Country and Lazarus. I just never feel particularly drawn to anything happening in those books. On the other hand, I think he's still the best Wonder Woman writer of this generation…so….

1 and 2 are out of print unfortunately, and Ping Zhu's 4 is just an art showcase more than anything else (though I generally treat Frontier as art items, so that works for me). The Sam Alden one is probably the most recommendable as a comic to sit down and read in the traditional sense. The Sascha Hommer issue isn't…

I need to get this. Sex Coven is one of the best stories from Frontier. And while Super Mutant Magic Academy wasn't really up my alley, if the rest of these tales are on the same level as the former, I'm all in.

Dowd nails it. The ending to this is a trainwreck, and the first act on Themyscira is far too compressed in some ways, yet also weirdly draggy in other spots? That second act is great though. Still a decent step up from the last two films, and better humor and performances put it above Man of Steel.

I think there are just two.
Raimund Diestel (olden times Black Flame) and Landis Pope (modern day Black Flame). The guy that showed up in Hell on Earth is the latter.

When you say most recent incarnation, you mean the one from BPRD right? I think the BPRD guy and the Lobster Johnson/Rise of the Black Flame characters are two separate fellows.

It's got a lot of great stuff (I especially like World of Krypton, or at least I remember liking it). And unlike the upcoming DC Universe by John Byrne book, it's less of a hodge-podge of uncollected stuff and more of an evolution of an artist kind of thing.

Covenant is a disaster. It answers a question no one was asking, and takes a shit on the most intriguing questions that Prometheus left behind.

Yeah, that premiere was great, right? I mainlined a couple of Lynch rewatches the weekend of (Blue Velvet still rules, Lost Highway is okay but feels unbelievably dated to a distracting degree, Eraserhead remains quite evocative), and it totally got me in the right headspace. It also helped that I watched the finale…

That's kind of the trouble with Johns running the Rebirth show: the takes of his that struck a chord with the readership once upon a time are now the basis for the characters going forth. In some cases, like Aquaman, that's fine…but the GL franchise desperately needs to move on. I don't think Omega Men is the…

In fun pick-ups, I nabbed the new DC Universe by Mike Mignola hardcover! So that rules. Lots of mid to late 80's and early 90's Mignola goodness from before his Hellboy days (and a few things from after) as well as every cover he's done, with everything arranged chronologically, more or less. I do wish they had…
