You should read the concept behind the tv series before you get too excited: see the TV forum. From what I remember, she's more of an urban vigilante with an alter ego that's a corporate type. I have no idea what either of those has to do with Wonder Woman, but we'll see.

I just read it. Doesn't sound very good at all. People were saying it's like superhero Ally McBeal.
I feel bad for the WW character. Aside from the popular TV show with Lynda Carter and the original Marston/Peters version, every other interpretation is not really very good.

Darwin Cooke (The New Frontier) had an awesome version of WW.

I've read most of everything up to the post-Crisis Perez version but everything after that confused the shit out of me. I haven't read anything WW for the last twenty plus years. All this revisionist/reboot stuff about her history is terrible and when I read that her mother was WW also I just dropped it. It seems none of it is even remotely connected to the WW I remember reading as a kid. I seriously miss the simplicity of multiple earths.

To be fair, the Hippolyta-was-the-Golden-Age-WW thing was a product of Byrnes' run, after he had somehow lost his mind and forgotten how to write or draw. He also further destroyed Donna Troy's already-muddled origin.
Also, you're going to get some terrible stories when you're contractually obligated to put out a Wonder Woman comic month after month, no matter what the sales figures are like, or else risk having the property revert back to the original creator's estate. At times they basically just published it to keep the rights to the character.

Yeah, when I picked up the TPB of his WW work I couldn't even get through it. His artwork was just shit compared to his X-Men run. As for Donna's origin I think Wolfman/Perez sort of fucked that up in the TT Baxter series when they already had it right in the previous series with issue #38.
