This has nice twists, and costume is good, especially when the jacket is off.

I've always loved Wonder Woman, and this just adds a whole new side of her (literally) that I think is really awesome. The new costume is perfect for this new Wonder Woman that has been created by the writers and artists; one who is vengeful, steadfast, and strong. Only problem I had with it was that it was very repetitive in some spaces, but I still loved this.

4.5/5!

(as you can see, I'm on a graphic novel kick lately, lol)

Really, people? That huge team to put together a WW comic and not a single woman involved?

I love all things Wonder Woman. This book was Straczynski = good. It took me a bit of time to acclimate to the alternate time/universe. But, it was fascinating to see her wearing a new style + being fresh...without abandoning the core of who she is. A selfless protector, strong in who she is as a woman and friend, without seeing personal limits, yet without being blind to personal faults. I love Wonder Woman.

I love Wonder Woman and this was a fresh and interesting take on the story. It's definitely different from regular WW and I enjoyed the spin the J. Michael Straczynski puts on it!

Gorgeous art. The plot & characterization are kind of all over the place, but I'm giving it tue benefit of the doubt until I read further.

This is the most excited I have been about Wonder Woman since the Lynda Carter series. I would have given this five stars but the art is a bit of a wreck.

Preface: I love Wonder Woman. She is my favorite superhero of all time and I love her character throughout the various releases/worlds. So, going into this, I was expecting to enjoy this. And while I enjoyed the story for the most part, I found it to be lacking a bit of clarity and felt confused at parts. Maybe I missed some of the story or need to read on, which is often the case, but I wasn't loving this take on Wonder Woman. I enjoyed the background with what happened after Themyscira was destroyed- that was fantastic. But I think the rest of the story was flat. Probably just not my cup of tea.
