Review: Best WW ever!! - This books is excellent. While it's impressed many new readers as well as critics, plenty WW purists are upset with the changes to her origins. So I wasn't sure what to expect. But honestly, I appreciate ALL the changes. I just wish they had kept her in pants instead of the impractical panties. This volume is part of an extended arc which I really like - it's got stories within stores. It has sophisticated feel; unlike other comic series that feel very choppy with one huge plot after another, this one is like one really big story/mystery with small stories woven throughout. I really appreciate that consistency as it makes you care more about these characters and gives them more depth - even the ones you would normally write off as shallow. Azzarello is a great writer and has done some really good work here. About the desertcarts. The desertcarts here are not a perfect society - which I find much more realistic. There is no such thing as utopia, and I always found it weird how a small and stagnant (though not so stagnant in all versions) society completely cut off from the rest of the world could be so presumptuous to think that they could teach the rest of the world how to live in peace. Peace is challenged by differences, and with so much uniformity among the desertcarts, they're not exactly experts in dealing with those differences. (Example: When the Bana-Mighdall arrived at Themiscyra, civil war broke out.) So while these new desertcarts are not perfect and do commit morally reprehensible acts, I find them more "real" and interesting. So what else? I really like that this book is apart from Justice League and the Superman/Wonder Woman series. I follow both of those as well, but WW is a character that can definitely support her own book without help from other characters. Also, her story simply has nothing to do with what's going on in the mainstream JL comic. About the Artwork. I found Cliff Chiang's art very strange in the beginning. I don't know how to describe it properly, but it's kind of flat looking and...well it simply doesn't look anything like the art from other comic books. But now I love it! When I read a different series, I find myself missing his style. Once you get into it, you LOVE it. It's beautiful art - but takes a bit of getting used to. I hope Azzarello and Chiang stick together for this series because they are an excellent team. SPOILERS alert!!! Instead of being formed from clay and gifted by the gods, Diana is Hyppolyta's daughter from an affair with Zeus. They use the original clay story as a cover story (to avoid Hera's wrath) which I thought was neat. While some people think it takes away what makes her unique, I think it makes more sense (although I never hated the other origin story). It also offers her a personal mystery which motivates her into seeking answers. If you're new to Wonder Woman or looking for a good series to read from the New 52, then I definitely recommend this book. It's just much more interesting than other stories about her, and overall, I think it's my favorite series from the New 52. If you're a big WW fan but feel reluctant about all the changes you've heard about, I recommend that you give it a chance. I've also read Wonder Woman: Odyssey Vol. 1 which is okay, but this is way better.
Review: Great Art by Cliff Chiang... - Cliff Chiang's artwork is unique and awesome! It's not complex but at the same time, the art does an amazing job at complementing the story. There are some pretty cool moments where no text is needed because all the emotion of the character can be seen through Chiang's artwork. It's good stuff! This book collects Wonder Woman New 52 #1-6 and Chiang does the art for #1-4. For issues 5 & 6, Tony Akins takes over as the artist and, unfortunately, doesn't keep the ball rolling as far as quality. In fact, the artwork takes a disappointing plunge into mediocrity. It's too bad because this is where the story reaches its epic climax. This is the nature of comics though. Different artists come in and out all the time and sometimes a bad artist have to sub in for a great ones. Other than that, the story itself is pretty engaging. There's a good mix of action and emotion. Good read overall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Incredible Reboot And Thrill Ride Through Greek Mythology
*by C***W on November 15, 2019*

Wonder Woman seems like a character that is sometimes difficult to write well. In many Justice League stories or crossover events she is a generic powerhouse that rarely gets to shine on her own terms. This reboot, on the other hand, really understands how to highlight her character and her strengths, starting with a reboot of her origin. Gone is the myth about a miracle baby made of clay and mud; instead, Wonder Woman learns that she is actually descended from the gods. What ensues is a wild adventure, but really, an operatic family drama. It's hard to say more without spoiling the story, but one of the greatest parts about this series is how the Greek gods are all characterized. From their sharp, modern character designs, to their distinct personalities, all of the gods are just dripping with a history and personal baggage that make you want to just learn so much more about all of them. It's a lot like the immortal family, the Endless, in the Sandman series, but here, every brother, uncle, aunt, cousin, has an agenda, a twisted view of the world, and just drips with cool. The art by Cliff Chiang is sharp, clean, and while bordering on cartoonish at times, actually fits the epic and outlandish world that the series builds. Honestly, this is one of the most exciting DC comics series to come out of the New 52, and the best Wonder Woman story I've read, hands down.
