I still havenāt read the Flinstoneās. I pretty much have to figure out a way to incorporate it into this club or I donāt make time for it 
I have to be honest, I had this as an April Foolās yolk and didnāt even know Wonder Woman was in the issue. I really liked seeing the Trinity here and their little anecdotes were such a highlight.
I would be down to read more Wonder Comics if yāall werenāt opposed to it. Maybe just one issue at a time. Cassie is a big part of a certain team book under the Wonder Comics banner atferall.
And yes, the Bee Gees must always be protected.

Iām just sad that Diana didnāt divulge some embarassing story from her days as a teenager on Paradise Island. Unless she did and Iām rapidly losing my sanity ā which is very possible!

What do you mean? Her story was literally three pages long and all of the Amazons laughed at her when she fell trying to catch the griffin. Sometimes when I read on desktop the pages skip, but maybe you need to go back and reread it because that one was my favorite!

Is this your introduction to the Wonder Twins or had you discovered them before?
I mostly knew of them. I havenāt really watched Super Friends (I honestly never really could get into any of the cartoons from that era). Probably the closest Iāve gotten to reading them in the past is Wendy, a human analogue of Jayna, from Brian Q Millerās run of Batgirl. To be perfectly honest, those characters as a concept usually do the opposite of getting my attention.
But, Mark Russell has with his work on The Flintstones and Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles has become one of those creators where if heās involved with something, Iāll at least try it out sooner or later, so here we are. 
What do you most like about the dynamic between Zan and Jayna?
Like others have said, they really felt like an authentic brother and sister ā at least as far as my only child self can tell. There was love, but also a little competition and mutual griefing.
Was anything in this issue truly unexpected as the description of the issue said?
Sadly, the āBee Geeā moment I do remember being shown around a lot when this issue came out on the Reddits and such, so that part didnāt shock me. It is still pretty funny, though. The way the twins took out Mxy was surprising, though!
Are you looking forward to World of Wonder reading more Wonder Comics?
I mean, Iāll definitely keep up on the issues as they come out here, most def. Iām looking forward to seeing what Russell does with these characters ā especially since heās just as able to do great tragedy with his characters as well as comedy.

Same. I used to watch some people on Youtube that would always do the activating fist bump before their podcast. Iām also still in the Wendy and Marvin part of Super Friends, so Iām not sure when the twins show up. Iām working through it extrememly slowly, like an episode a month
The Snagglepuss book is seriously such a gem. With BoJack having finished, DC Universe really should do an animated Snagglepuss adapting Exit Stage Left in that BoJack style.
I didnāt think that would work. Why doesnāt the JL just have a recording of that stashed away at all times?
That would be cool! Or if thatās not viable since itās not a strictly DC property, Iād love to see them adapt and possibly continue his Prez storyline.
Probably for that reason ā they didnāt think it would work!

Hanna-Barbera is owned by WB, so at the very least, we could see it over on HBO Max. Warner Bros. were supposed to start a H-B shared universe with Scoob! Though, I imagine that might be less āall agesā which is why I think it would fit better on HBO Max/DC Universe as a show rather than a theatrical release.
Havenāt read Prez, but now I gotta.

Mxy: as i understand it, it shouldnāt have worked. Heās got to say it.

Batman and Dianaās reactions to the Twinsā abilities is very on point. Why can she change into animals and he into water? I remember reading a superfriends comic and Jayna used her changeling abilities to change her appearence in order to blend at the school they were going to. Zan had to use conventional methods to disguise himself. It was mostly about the ears, but in this i think they are out and proverbially proud.
the W&M stuff is more cartoony in its antics. like a montage of getting chased, complete with the usual tom & jerry -esque sounds. And the Wonder Dog miming when heās sent to get help. When i last watched, I was trying to figure out what kind of dog he is.

I hadnāt seen them since I was wee, so Iām counting this as our first meeting.
What do you most like about the dynamic between Zan and Jayna?
Theyāre accurately like twins. As I mentioned, I am a twin. Twin=built in BFF. We donāt really bickerātoo much empathy.
Was anything in this issue truly unexpected as the description of the issue said?
Not really. 
I enjoy variation and I knew it would be a fresh take. What was āunexpectedā was how much I laughed. It felt irreverentādef amusing. The random panel of Flash w/ his hummus platter (clearly heās after my heart) and Zanās intro to his class really set the tone! Points for sassy-Diana 
, and Bee Gee. Good times.

I wouldnāt turn it down. Whatever you say, boss,

Was there anything about this retelling of Dianaās origins and the tournament that made it worth revisiting for you?
I did like that it played out the way it always plays out. I liked this version of elimination, a mist free-for-all.
What do you think of this version of Etta Candy?
I am going to take a chance and you may take it the wrong way if you like: Yum!
With the story shifting from Themyscira to Manās World, what are you most looking forward to in future issues?
Diana wearing blonde Lytaās gifts.
The fate of Steve Trevor (And if he is a steVen or a stePhen).
The fate of Alcippe
So far, i like the classic elements and their introduction. And how they mesh within this iteration and its marked differences. The division of immortality, the infecting darkness, the political treachery and intrigue.

The tournament is always worth revisiting as far as Iām concerned. Loved that it was a rainy and foggy battle to submission. That mace to the face was brutal, btw!
What do you think of this version of Etta Candy?
Iāve never really disliked any version of Etta, tbh. I prefer her when sheās savvy and tenacious, so this version didnāt disappoint. I like that she wants to be Ella Fitzgerald because, I mean, who doesnāt? (Sheās more of a Doris Day, tho). They wrote her w/ enough modernity and charisma to play nicely off of Diana, whose salt-of-the-Earth sincerity and fortitude always makes me happy.

All of it. Iām buckled in for the ride to the finish line!

I traveled back here from the future to talk about Legend of Wonder Woman 7-12 which I somehow missed first time around. One of the things I loved about this batch is the real Greek epic feel it had. Tournaments, gods interfering, fates set, long journeys through strange lands. Itās kinda of like a long odyssey, just like The Odyssey. These two panels, even before the action begins really set the tone for the tourney.
I also thought Hippolyta was such a strong element to the story from her burdens as queen to her burdens as mother.
What do I think of this version of Etta? Well, Iāve been known to complain about Etta being the butt of jokes, or being dull. This Etta, I absolutely love. Curvy short girl full of sass and fun, but you know when the chips are down Etta is not going to run from a fight.
Random final thought. Werewolf and Vampire Nazis I believe, but Northwest woods Bigfoot is too much a crunchy granola hippie type to ever fall for that junk.
Now, if I can get this thing working again, I can return to my proper time.

To be fair, you most likely missed it because of my silly April Fools prank where I was claiming we wouldnāt be reading Wonder Woman and instead the club would become a Wonder Comics Club.
That tournament was epic. It felt much more dire than previous versions because of Antiopeās sect. Hippolyta was portrayed really well in these issues. She made a lot of sense in terms of motivations, etc.
This whole series, Iāve been thinking, āmsgtv will like this Etta.ā
