James in Wonder Woman #19
Almost a decade after Jenn getting married was mentioned on the front page of a newspaper blowing past Wonder Woman’s feet (in 1999’s Wonder Woman #148), James has appeared as a secret agent in Wonder Woman #19 (they restarted the series a third time), on sale now.
(He’s not the blonde guy. The blonde guy, Nemesis, is a decades old character, and two blonde guys out of costume talking to each other can get confusing, as Marvel Comics’ Avengers has shown a number of times over the years. Captain America, Yellow Jacket and Hawkeye all need new haircuts, at a minimum.)
A big thanks to Gail Simone for sneaking him past the velvet rope and into the DC Comics universe!
Go get the issue at a comic shop today, and while you’re there, go ahead and pick up the paperback collections of All-New Atom, Birds of Prey, Gen-13, JLA, Superman or Welcome to Tranquility. (The latter is creator-owned, I believe, so Gail gets the biggest check from that. Buy those first. They’re about a superhero retirement community.)

That’s just cool! (Your news, not Dmitry’s link, which is unsettling)
