The iconic spin move costume change of Wonder Woman has been confirmed as part of her official canon in a preview of Wonder Woman #6. Lynda Carter popularized the spin move in the 1977 Wonder Woman show, and it has since become a well-known part of Wonder Woman's history. The ongoing Wonder Woman series is paying homage to all aspects of her canon, including her original origin story, and the return of the spin move has fans excited for what else may come next for the character.
Daniel Sampere, the artist for Wonder Woman, has shared a sneak peek of an upcoming issue that confirms the famous spin move made popular by Lynda Carter is officially part of the DC Universe canon. The glimpse into Wonder Woman #6 shows the beloved character slowly changing from her everyday clothes into her iconic costume, using the spinning costume change sequence famously seen in the 1977 Wonder Woman television show. This nod to the show is a welcomed addition for fans, as it reaffirms the importance of this transformation in Wonder Woman's story.The change in Wonder Woman's costume was mostly an original creation, but she did have a similar move in the Bronze Age of Comics where she would twirl her lasso around herself to put on her superhero outfit. The spin move has made appearances in canon, particularly during the later post-Crisis years. However, with the New 52, Diana's costume changes were more understated. Now, Tom King and Daniel Sampere are bringing back Wonder Woman's classic move, raising the question of what else from her canon could be making a comeback.
The ongoing Wonder Woman series has brought back other parts of Diana's canon, including her original 'clay sculpture' origin story. The series aims to honor her long and beloved history by including as much as possible from her canon, acknowledging the numerous changes and shifts over the years. While the spin move might not be the most traditional way of changing costumes, it's an indisputable part of her lore that has finally made its way back into canon. If the spin move can come back into DC canon, then who knows what's ahead next for Wonder Woman?
Wonder Woman #6 is available on February 20th from DC Comics.
