This is kind of everything I want to see in a Wonder Woman book. It is overtly feminist and imbued with female rage in a way that is cathartic. The art, especially in the first issue, feels creative and liberal and radical, with thought and expression put in every choice. Both the prose and the art are in tandem with such reverence for Greek mythology and art and culture, from invoking the gods in each issue's first page, to the inspiration from classical Greek art and sculpture and pottery, to how the pantheon interacts with each other and with mortals, to how mythology itself works as a medium of storytelling and culture.
