I wanted to like this. I really did. This was a chance to do some awesome things with Wonder Woman, like Gail Simone's run; pulling from the original material was going to be a bit of an...unstable bomb. Sure, some of the original ideas were great and remarkably feminist for the time. However, they were also incredibly problematic and outdated by today's standards.

The art was absolutely gorgeous, well colored and great lines. It also unfortunately tended towards the old school style of only posing women provocatively if possible, and with as much t&a visible as possible. I did appreciate that for the most part, the Amazons were visually diverse and included those that were androgynous or masculine leaning and not just a bunch of buxom blondes or Greek looking women, as well as some punk/pop culture.

I was disappointed in the choice to keep some pretty offensive ideals in the comic, completely undercutting any potential feminist message with sizeist language, not to mention the ridiculous treatment of kink (yes I know there were kink overtones in the original WW, but having the character that gets repeatedly called gross and wrong be the kinky one ruins a chance at having a normal discussion of kink, especially because it gets brought up then just discussed with winks and nods).

It's disappointing that they could manage to do such a good job of updating and changing Steve Trevor for political and cultural relevancy when they relegated the primary portions of the story to old tired tropes and outdated ideology.
