6. Achilles (again not always around and was recently introduced)
Now, how is that hard to follow?

I disliked the JMS story becuase it is the retread of the same plot lines every single creater has gone through since 1985. I sincerely beleive DC hands folks a Wonder-Woman-plot-checklist:
1. Take away powers and slowly return them
2. Kill her mom and bring her back eventually
3. Kill as many Amazons as possibly and detroy the island
4. Make her forget who she is. (Gail Simone did this in a 4 parter in the past 2 years)
5. Help her find herself so the fans can jump on if they are new (But please don't try and make what she finds consistent to the last run)
6. Change her costume and appearance. (Simone changed the outfit in the same 4 parter, Simonson cut her hair 4 years back)
7. Throw away the supporting cast and replace the with very similar characters with different names
As much as I hate the costume change and see no value in it (Google Poochie and The Simpsons for my full opinion) this retreading of plots and the lost oppurtunity to grow and build the titles mytholody on Simon and Rucka's work really drives me nuts. If you reset constantly, then you drive away any new readers that came along with the reset and you just continue to alienate the die hards who want this book to just get on with it and tell good stories.
Love JMS in other genres. Couldn't love "Changeling" any more! But this approach (with out without the costume)? Pure garbage.
