Look at this collage!

Look at the star-studded list of artists, whose extraordinary talent brought these classic characters to life. Isn't this one of the biggest suitcases of butt-kicking in the DC Comics Universe?! While not as well known, it's as cool, diverse and big, as the costumed families of all them big man-superheroes!

Honestly, upon gathering the Wonders together for a family portrait, ..the variety of style and looks surprised me also. My goal was to show the costumed heroes, Diana could pull together, just from the WONDER WOMAN comic, alone, ..without gods or human supporting characters. For some reason, I imagined the costumed Wonder Family as a bunch of angry women in bathing suits, togas or matching Xena cosplays...a toxic sameness.

I was wrong. This is the Wonder Woman Family!
