Poll Who has better comics: Wonder Woman or Green Arrow? (29 votes)

Wonder Woman 45%
Green Arrow 55%

I've read a few classic Wonder Woman comics, including the first 25 issues of George Pérez's run (loved Pérez's art but not so much his writing), Paradise Lost, Hiketeia and The Circle. I find them all just ok.

I've so far only read Green Arrow: Quiver and The Longbow Hunters, I liked them both. I'm going with GA, at least for now.

@morbusgrav: JLA League of One (the spotlight is WW in the story) & Wonder Woman The True Amazon. If you don’t really enjoy these two then I guess WW isn’t for you.

That are are a few of the best, but why are you telling me that?

@morbusgrav: Yes! I just finished this one, so good.

Yeah that 1 was really good.

By the way Perez didn't really write the first issues alone, just later on where his writing became far better.

I remember several Green Arrow runs that I've liked tremendously (Longbow Hunters springs instantly to mind) and only one Wonder Woman arc that I liked at all (George Perez). Gotta go with Green Arrow on this one.

@morbusgrav: I read through all of the issues collected in the Wonder Woman by George Pérez trades, the art kept me more interested than the stories. I'm not sure if I want to continue as there are no more art by him from hereon.

I do like the characterisation of Diana as a more sweet, innocent and somewhat shy young gal; this is clearly way before she became more hardened and more cynical in the later stories. I also like her sweet moments with Julia and Vanessa. Some of the fights were ok too but I couldn't get into all the adapted Greek Mythos, all the tedious exposition bored me (sorry) and none of the villains were interesting.

Currently Green Arrow, excluding Justice League Dark for Wondy.

In general Wondy, no contest.

@ready_4_madness: Hmm. I still have Eyes of the Gorgon as part of my DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection by Eaglemoss, I remember putting it down after the first issue included, maybe I should try again with more patience.

i dunno

on one hand we have Amazons Attack, that time Wonder Woman became the JSA's secretary in All Stars #12, the time she fought batgirl for batmans love in The Brave and The Bold #78, and of course who could forget the time she turned into a Gorilla in Wonder Woman 170

but then we have Speedy becoming a heroin addict...

tough call but i'll side with GA for now

@ghostodoofus2:

I would definitely recommend reading Eyes of the Gorgon and indeed the whole of Rucka's first run, it's one of the runs that really got me into comics and I rank it up there with my all-time favourites, I also second the recommendation of League of One. If you don't like that or the other WW stuff you've already read then she probably isn't the character for you. You could always try Azzarello's N52 run which is quite controversial among fans but highly praised by critics. It's quite different from anything else ever done with the character.

It's a pretty tough comparison overall. I have more interest in Wonder Woman so I voted for her but really the two have very little in common so a lot of it just comes down to different tastes rather than quality. I do love some GA stories such as Year One and a lot of Grell's run as well.

Historically, definitely Green Arrow. Currently, I'd say Wonder Woman.

@anthp2000: From all I've seen so far in this forum, there are very few die-hard fans of that show.

I don't feel like I can vote here, I've read most of Green Arrows books, but very few Wonder Woman

I'd need to read her good books before I could say

@mrnoital: The ones I've read are Gods and Mortals (her Post-Crisis origin story), Challenge of the Gods, Paradise Lost, The Circle and Hiketeia. Try those.

Currently is only JLD good but WW´s new writer just started while GA is simply good, but if we´re talking about their whole history has WW faaaaar more good comics(which is anyways an unfair comparison due to her far bigger amount of comics in general, on the most actual comicbook sites couldn´t you even make such a thread).
