"We are each other's shelter from the storm."
SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN #6

One day I walked into a library and my eyes fell on a book called Kingdom Come. I picked it up and to my surprise it was a comic book...or rather as I later learned, a graphic novel. But I saw beautifully painted panels and heroes that I recognized from my childhood who seemed ...well, grown up. I borrowed that book and I was moved and fascinated by, not only the story of men and women who are great heroes, but by they way they showed their humanity. They suddenly were not two dimensional people who just fought bad guys. They were deeply complex. I love books and reading on the whole and I guess getting into the comic genre as an adult woman was a case of serendipity. It led me to finding DC comics and the heroes I grew up with on TV and saw in movies and newsprint. It led me to finding Clark Kent or as he is known by his other name, Kal-El, and Princess Diana. I fell in love with them and am obsessed with all things Amazonian and Kryptonian now. I love their relationship. I love what they stand for. I love the contrasts of the princess/farmer's son; reporter/ambassador; pragmatic warrior/idealistic protector and empathetic teacher/enforcer of justice. A girl born of the earth and a boy who fell from the sky. The first daughter of Themyscira and last son of Krypton. And it surprised me to find that there were many fans like me, who adore them too.

DC rebooted their universe in 2011 and my favorite pairing is now canon!!! Yay.

Promo Image For New Superman Series by Scott Snyder and Jim Lee



Out sometime in 2013 and yes, Diana will be in it.

Edit.

Diana will make a cameo, according to Snyder. She might be there for a few pages or panels? and part of the Justice League to give her pov, as part of the Justice League. He is not focusing on anything romantic. Seems Lois Lane will be in every issue and be the one to offer Clark great insights on morality, truth and prinicples and give support regarding his decisions. Will Snyder just show Diana's pov as the hardass warrior who snaps necks? I hope not. Makes you wonder why Clark is dating her in the first place if the writer does not see the relationship as important even as an emotional/supportive one.We shall wait and see.
