4.0
This was my first time reading a Wonder Woman comic and (although I was mildly disappointed by the two typos I found), I quite enjoyed it.

1. Wonder Woman, Volume 1 (my understanding is that this book is the deluxe version of Volume 1)

3. Wonder Woman (2006), Issue #2, in which we learn about how Wonder Woman became Diana Prince and an agent for the Department of Metahuman Affairs, where she's tasked with finding both the new Wonder Woman and old Wonder Woman.
4. Wonder Woman (2006), Issue #3, we get introduced to more Greek mythology with the appearance of Wonder Girl (daughter of Zeus), Hercules, and Circe.
5. Wonder Woman (2006), Issue #4, - Circe becomes the new Wonder Woman and goes on a power trip.
6. Wonder Woman Annual #1 - the finale to the series with an ultimate battle in which the Justice Society and Justice League all make an appearance to help their beloved and OG Wonder Woman (this is where I found an unfortunate typo...).
7. This book also included a bonus backstory about Diana Prince working alongside Nemesis.
8. And finally, the book finishes off with bonus art sketches from the series (where I found the second typo).
