Flappy skirt! I think she wears that at various points in both runs, but the one I believe you're talking about is from the Rucka run. Generally I probably prefer the art in the Simone run, but yes, it's a freaking amazing picture there.

I get the whole thing about being busy with trips and moves. ♥ As always no hurry, and you know, Cavemen is a great distraction when it's around but when it's not I appear to be amusing myself by making cracky Wonder Woman vidlets and picspams. :p

Speaking of, would it help in encouraging you to read the Rucka run if I pointed out things like THIS occasionally happened?

Or, probably more relevantly, THIS?

Rucka's run has no romance subplots for Diana which is interesting and refreshing, but there's a very...understated but consistent, and insistent, queer subtext to a lot of it.

Simone's run is just less understated in general. And on the one hand, it does have a romantic subplot for Diana with a dude (though the ending really doesn't adhere to the traditional narrative for such things and I think it's really more of a c- than b-plot), but on the other it also makes absolutely canonically clear that Diana was raised by a bunch of lesbian co-mommies.

So yeah, basically my pitch is: read Wonder Woman. It is occasionally supergay!
