I was pretty impressed with this. I've only seen a few episodes of the TV show, so my fondness or enthusiasm for it isn't the same as it is for the Adam West Batman. I thought it was a pretty accessible comic for myself and anyone else who is looking for some Wonder Woman to read. The Wonder Woman stuff I've read in general, and lately, I feel focus' too much on the Greek mythology, or applies it to the character too much. At the same time, someone can argue it's SUPPOSED to. No mythology here, just straight up Wonder Woman.

I was on board when the comic was announced, and will continue to be. I really don't like this format of getting oversized one shots when ever. I'd rather this be a monthly title. Looking at the digital comic, there doesn't seem to be any more, just what's been printed. Hopefully they're working on a large batch to go monthly and have the digital comics be ahead of possible print issues.

As James said, they're planning a series of 1-shots, probably on a quarterly basis.

That said, the two stories were fine, though they probably couldn't get the rights to use Lyle Waggoner's likeness as Trevor. Worth the $8 spent.

We have Batman '66 and Wonder Woman '77 comics, why not a Superman '51 comic book title to tie in with the 1950's Adventures of Superman TV series?

If they were to do a Superman book in this format, as I discussed with my brother some time back, it'd be closer to the color era of the series, rather than the early black & white episodes. DC, I think, is waiting on sales of both the digital and print formats of Wonder Woman '77 to see if they'll go forward with such a Superman book. IMPO, it's a great alternative to the crap the New 52 sprung on us.
