There's something truly special about limiting yourself as an artist.
You COULD do all you can to make everything pop when it comes to comics, but when everybody is told to limit their color palette to just blacks, whites, grays, and VARIOUS shades of yellow, then it really shows the simple beauty of the character and her adventures.
Not just that, but this big ol' anthology shows what each artist values about Wonder Woman as both a character and the stories she's been in. Whether it's embellishing her long history, showing her with her eclectic supporting cast, weaving a story with her oh-so-ready inherent ties to mythology, demonstrating what she means or inspires in others, or just exploring how her core beliefs & compassion are so integral to who she is, this is a great read for Wonder Woman fans.
Also, find it hilarious that Rachel Smythe of "Lore Olympus" fame, who has done SO much in humanizing the Greek pantheon through this exemplary webcomic, did a quick little comic featuring Diana & Circe (plus one more surprise guest who was turned into a gerbil!)
