The final panel of this issue polarized fans as Jiminez depicts Diana transforming
into her Wonder Woman costume by performing the famous "Wonder Spin"
- just like Lynda Carter used to do in the 1970's TV show! Jiminez has always
acknowledged his affection for the TV incarnation of Wonder Woman and this would
not be his last homage to the show and Lynda herself. While many fans loved
the reference, others felt it undermined the character by dragging her back
to the "camp" days of the 70's. Me? I loved it!!!
Ironically, little did fans realise that a few years later DC would decide to
make more fundamental shifts back to the pre crisis/TV show era by re-introducing
the "Diana Prince" secret identity and have the Amazon Princess work
as an agent for the Government!
| Plot Summary: |
Paradise Island is rebuilt - a new floating island open to Patriarch's World
as a place to learn and study. General Phillipus becomes the Chancellor of this
new Amazon Democracy where both tribes of Amazons now live together in harmony.
They appoint Diana as their Ambassador to the outside world and present her
with the royal Tiara, which she wears once more - not as the symbol of a Princess
but of a Champion of Peace.
In a touching scene, Diana is finally reunited with her mother before Hippolyta
is taken by Hades to the Afterlife. Mother and Daughter at last can say the
things they need to say and Diana is given the closure she so desperately wants.
