THINKING 'BOUT OUR BILLS, A HEX, SOME HEADLINES, AND WHEN THE CHEETAH'S GONNA' DIE!

By Edgar Miraculous Dyer Big problem with the  Wonder Woman  comic's perennial arch-villain,  Cheetah, is how unclear it is exactly what she wants! Just what exactly does this lady want, from one story to the next? Is it money? Immortality? Blood-lust? A very big ball of string? What?
