@BatClaw89: wow, don't be such a scumbag. 
Anyways Some of these are awesome! I think I might invest in the Jock black and white statue. 
Anyone else feel that the detective mode Arkham City Batman is a bit... off? His face changed proportion wise, and his hands are tiny..

I've got to say, I think its a wonderful refreshing take on Wonder Woman. I'll start by saying I've only been reading American comic books since September 2010, so I'm still a rookie.  I've tried a few times to like wonder woman, but it never appealed to me, and I guess the years of muddled back story didn't help much either. The reboot, not only put me on equal footing with other readers, it also modernized the character and gave her a great supporting cast. This whole story arc has been so enthralling, and Wonder Woman is prob one of my top 4 comics of the new 52 (The others being Batman, Animal Man, Swamp Thing).
Its a story for todays audiences, I feel. Also, the art is astonishing, to me. Cliff has done some fantastic work. I really feel wonderwomans strength and grace with every panel. The design work too, its all fantastic and strikes me as something that will last. 
FINALLY, I like that she can't seem to fly anymore, in fact I really like it. Flight (and invisible jets) was a tad too much power for me. 
 
How do other commenters feel about the lack of flight?

@Mrfuzzynutz: Oh god its so refreshing to hear voices like yours and some of the more recent comments. The hate is unusual, and I wish some people would at least describe what exactly they hate other then "Its cartoony and simple" or looks like lego men. Sometimes I fear that any artist who tries to go more expressive and design orientated is going to be slagged off mercilessly

@VioletPhoenix: Agreed... the mans pin ups are fine if that's your thing, but his storytelling is so completely lacking. Also, I cant get behind any artist who swipes as much as he does. Photo reference is fine, but take your own photos and dont bloody trace them, yano?

wow, really taken aback by the hate for JRJR here.. I mean, I know everyone has preferences...
 (for instance, I really really dislike Rob Liefelds work, because... well I dont have space to say it all. Also, THE MAN INKS WHILE DRIVING. dont believe me? type 'rob liefeld inks and drives' into youtube. Dangerous ignorant fool. but I digress.)
 
Honestly, as a young artist, JRJR is one of my influences. I look to artists like him, Chris Bachalo, Tony Moore, Joe Mad etc as standout artists, because their design and sense of personality is so strong, and theyre not afraid to push comic books away from the norm. I mean, kick ass for example, the range of emotions and the strength of the story telling in the art alone sell the book, where as I like Keiron gillens writting, but cannot get past the static dead lifeless art of greg land, who surely goes down the realistic gritty route, but fails as a storyteller in so many ways. 
I'd love some responses, provided theyre not just the "YOUR WRONG AND STUPID" type. Discussion is fun.
