176 Wonder Woman Vol 4: Godwatch


One of the better books being published today.  Solid, consistent and a joy to read.

127 Wonder Woman Vol 3: The Truth


This still remains one of my favorite of the Rebirth books.  While I hate that we are yet again reinventing Wonder Woman (that is getting so fucking old), I feel like this is the version that is going to stick.  I like that this is the proper opportunity to tie in aspects of the movie to the comic.  While they aren't going to be on the exact same page, there are a lot of similarities that people who saw the movie will recognize.

This is the Wonder Woman that the New 52 WW should have been.  I enjoyed that run, but it felt like a giant Elseworlds story to me rather than canon.  I like that it's been addressed and we're moving forward.  

I like how the whole Doctor Poison thing is worked into this book.  Logical and sensible to me.  

The art seemed a little off to me, though.  I don't know why.  I ate up the art in the first volume.  This one it seems slightly rushed or something.  I can't place my finger on it. 

All in all, one of DC's best books. (for now)

107 Wonder Woman Vol. 2: Year One


Wonder Woman is published twice monthly with issues alternating storylines.  The odd numbered issues tell a story set today.  The even numbered issues tell her backstory.  I thought it was an interesting concept.  I appreciate that each story is collected separately.  But after finishing this volume, I realize that doing it this way makes you miss a certain layer of storytelling.  The modern day story and this flashback story feature Barbara Minerva.  I think you'd get more out of the stories by reading them in the order that they're published.  Not to say that you can't read them as stand alone stories.  You absolutely can and they're both wonderful.  In fact, I'm willing to say that my enjoyment of this series is higher than it's been in YEARS.  Greg Rucka is hitting it out of the ballpark with this book.  It's a shame he's already leaving the series.  I feel like he's got a lot more Wonder Woman in him that I need to read.  Also already off the book is Nicola Scott, who is giving some of her best work ever to this project.  This book couldn't make me happier.  We're stripping away the New 52 version of the character, we're pulling elements of the awesome Wonder Woman movie into the book.  It's just fabulous.  You're missing out if you aren't reading Wonder Woman.  For real.
