Such a gorgeous cover, and a lot of beautiful art too. Sadly only a couple of good stories. I really liked the first issue, and felt it a promising start, but after that it got weird and boring. Approximately half of this is random one-offs (art aside), which must've been included in some other collection because I'd already read nearly, if not, all of them. Some were interesting, some I didn't care for. Overall, pretty lackluster as a collection, though worthwhile to read at least the first issue as well as some of the one-offs.

I thought this would be a continuation of the stories that Greg Rucka began, but this 9th volume had nothing to do with the other 8 stories. This one instead features a bunch of mini stories with artwork done by various people. No flowing story at all.

Wish I would have known that it was something completely different - wouldn’t have purchased it.

This volume starts out being confusing. You would need to read Volume 5: Heart of the Amazon to get context into the relationship between Mayfly and Diana. But I don't understand what is the purpose of Diana meeting Moon over years. It does not seem like this is expanded upon in later runs or volumes.

The next issue is as confusing because the fight with the Dark Shadow god seems to be glossed over. I liked the love hate relationship Diana has with Artemis.



She reminded me of Artemis in the Mike Deodato run. I did like Aztek. The art was okay.



I was surprised at how many pages this volumes has. It turns out the second half is a Wonder Woman anniversary special with short stories, an interview (not easy to read and I did not enjoy it which is shocking because Greg Rucka wrote it) with Lois Lane and bonus material. There is even an excerpt from Wonder Woman: The True Amazon by Jill Thompson. Wonder Woman fans will enjoy this.

Just an okay volume. The next instalment is Wonder Woman & Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour and that is wayyy better.
