Zimm's Two Cents
She looks really familiar. In fact, if I squint a bit, I think that she reminds me of the Ame-Comi Wonder Woman.

Points in Favor

• As always, the colors.

Points Against

• I feel like this is Wonder Woman repainted, renamed.....rebranded.
• Isn't there only one 'magic lasso'?

Recommendation: Get the original - find the Wonder Woman. If you don't have it, have fun getting the sword to fit into her hand. Beautiful, but I will Pass.

Robert is the one that is really collecting these. I wonder what he thinks.

Robert's Two Cents
Zimm, she's the fill in Wonder Woman from the mid 90s, who herself was based on a character who was introduced years ago as the previous bearer of the title before Diana. Mike Deodata Jr. was the artist on the book at the time.

Points in Favor

• I liked the Artemis storyline.
• The color choices are dead on. She wore a non Wonder Woman costume and these colors match the costume she was wearing in her own series.
• The head sculpt and the sandles are actually probably more appropriate for Artemis than Diana.
• I almost think they had intended the original to be Artemis.

Points Against

• It is a repaint of the existing Wonder Woman. I would have preferred that she at least get her own sculpt.
  
• They should have given Diana an axe and Artemis the sword. Also Artemis should have a bow and arrows. Artemis is an archer.
  

Recommendation: I'd also get the original. However, if you were a huge fan of Artemis, this is the more appropriate one to get. I'm calling it Neutral, unless you're an Artemis fan.
