Readers of Wonder Woman will know that she's been going through a life-changing, character-refreshing "Odyssey," which looked to wrap up with issue #612; however, DC's solicit for the issue confirmed that they gave J. Michael Straczynski and Phil Hester two extra issues to finish it!

In what looks to be a moment of change for Diana as she heads towards DC's reboot, issue #613 gives us a look at Diana fighting... herself? There also looks to be some heavy internal dialog going on; I'm a big fan of metaphorical goodness.

DC's also given us a look at both covers for the issue, which look pretty darned sweet. I'm a big fan of painted covers, so this variant looks like something worth picking up. The cover on the left is by Josh Middleton, while the variant cover on the right was done by Josh Garner, who's done covers for Wonder Woman, Green Arrow and Teen Titans: Villains for Hire.

I'm curious to pick this up again after dropping it...but I think I would only be more confused.

YES! I've wanted to see the old Wonder Woman for so long. I'm super excited about seeing the 2 fight. I don't think Odyssey Diana could beat the old Diana. I wonder if they will get nemesis out of her and they will fight her together. Then we could go back to having the real Diana being there.

Is now interested!

That's more names on that issue than I've seen even on an anniversary issue

Very nice! I'll just wait for both Odyssey TP's to be available though. But that artwork is gorgeous.

The only way to keep fans happy is to give us Wonder Woman in both pants and Bikini Bottoms! The more Wonder Woman the merrier!

Should be interesting.

I am excited!

Fantastic! Glad to see that DC is given her the time and effort she deserves with those two extra issues.

Looks cool. I like the cover on the right more.

This looks a 1000% better than that horrible Superman preview. This shows her as a fighter. Superman's made him look like an emo loser.
 
That double painted cover of Wonder Woman for this issue is really beautiful. Great work on that.

Who's the "scorpian lady"? - I don't think I like her. 

Is this a preview for the reboot?

Sorry folks, but nothing so far has convinced me we'll see the old WW any time soon.  The Odyssey one will ultimately defeat the classic one, proving once and for all she's the better character.
 
I really hope they go in a new and interesting direction and we get some great stories in the coming months and years, but the changes so far never worked for me.  The classic mistake writers make is mistake drama for character development, but JMS mistook drama for turning Diana into a punching bag and make her bleed and suffer page after page.  I'm the first to admit that Wonder Woman has a lot of baggage and is generally speaking a very difficult character to do justice to.
 
Maybe if I keep thinking positive thoughts it will all turn out great. 

Cover on the right, mos def.

I hope old Wonder Woman kicks new Wonder Woman's ass!

what lovecraftian horror is Diana fighting on the left?

Looking forward to this. I'll probably start picking them up again

I hope old Wonder Woman kicks new Wonder Woman's ass!

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict the winner of this fight.  I'm going with Wonder Woman...  :-)

As a guy who's collected from #600 to now, I'll be waiting to finally complete this story. Through it all, it has provided to be very interesting reading.

Oh how I have missed the good ol Wondy. I grew up knowing and loving her and when the new came out I was like.. "Wait.. whaaa?"
 
And pants on her.. DO NOT do her justice. In my opinion, her in pants takes away her Amazon beauty.
