Pandering, Simplistic, Inconsistent crap.

George Pérez' Wonder Woman is a recommendation I have been receiving since I became a Wonder Woman fan. Now I certainly see why. Perez writes Wonder Woman in a completely different way than superhero's are typically portrayed. She is devoted to love and peace, upholds the utmost faith in her Patreon's, and is a badass warrior. It is hard to find a character that just has this love for almost everyone she meets, but it is what makes her such an interesting hero. And I wish the current comics ha...

Excellent depiction of the Themysciran Princess, a real page turner. A perfect balance between Themyscira and Earth, with Diana as the bridge between two worlds. Also an amazing repackaging of Norse mythology and theology, something that DC does so well. I really enjoyed it, love Wonder Woman, great job!

George Perez can draw. His images of Wonder Woman are iconic interpretations of the character; sadly, this volume's only redeeming quality is his art. Dealing with the Grecian pantheon, Wonder Woman finds herself torn between personal responsibilities in Boston and familial duties on Paradise Island. As the she attempts to reconcile both, Hermes continues to show up and meddle in everything. The majority of this tome seems to deal with the fallout of a battle with Ares and the build-up of Vaness...

Really nice semi-conclusion to the first part of the run. This is NOT the end of Perez's run, but it is where he stopped drawing the series. If you'd prefer to keep things short, this is a perfectly good place to stop. But personally I think some of the later stuff is worth reading as well, notably the Silver Swan story and War of the Gods (come at me).

A good ending of a good classic run.George Pérez really loved the character, the Greek Mythology references were well integrated with the storytelling, the artworks were just over the top, just some parts/dialogues not aged much well.And the Wonder Woman Annual #1 (1988) illustrated by Arthur dams, Ross Andru, John Bolton, Brian Bolland and José Luis García-López is just a masterwork.

It's so refreshing to read a creator's labor of love. Once I finished it, I felt I could have read four more volumes.[SPOILERS AHEAD]One thing that I really appreciated about this volume was how well it handled the topic of death. In all cases--from Myndi Myer to all the victims of Ixion's rampage--death is treated as a serious, horrifying occurrence that has a powerful effect on survivors. It's all too common for stories to kill off characters (central or background) on a whim, with no one feel...

Reading this volume of Wonder Woman, you start to wonder if this is around where Perez got removed from the project, and whether it was actually his choice. So bogged down in mythology that, having read ahead, has very little to do with the future of the series and so so dull until the very end, which almost feels thrown together in a "well, Wonder Woman has to do something heroic, right?" kind of way...I'm a huge Wonder Woman booster, but it's no wonder people struggle with her as a character w...

This is the last of the George Perez piloted Wonder Woman, or at least the last that's been collected in trades. I really enjoyed his perspective on the character, and the heavily mythological backing she had here. And the art is beautiful, of course.

4.5 stars. This is probably my favourite volume so far! I really enjoyed it and I would've given it a full 5 stars if not for a frustrating moment between Diana and Julia that I will elaborate on later. "Who Killed Myndi Mayer?"I'll admit that I really didn't like Myndi Mayer when she was first introduced but now that we got to know more of her backstory, she grew on me and her death was shocking. I liked that this issue was told from Inspector Ed Indelicato's POV. This made it feel more like an...

A nice finish to the relaunched Wonder Woman by George Pérez. There's plenty of places to take it, but it has a nice finality to it at the same time.It's funny how different Wonder Woman is here than she has become in more modern takes. She's a little more willing to be the Warrior Princess recently. Her she fights very hard to not kill her enemies. Later on she will comment on her lack of Rogues by stating that she takes care of them.These are great comics and I love the fact that not every iss...

Quinto taco recopilatorio de Wonder Woman - La Mujer Maravilla. Contiene los números 16 a 20 de esta colección.Es el último tomo español de esta etapa cuyo contenido se ve más o menos reflejado en un recopilatorio estadounidense.

The Good: Modern comics can be fun, but, old-school ones tend to be a blast. The art style of these comics made them more enjoyable, and Wonder Woman finds herself in some insane situations in these comics. This volume has some fun moments, but...The Bad: It also can be downright dull at times. One long comic in particular is especially boring. Fans of DC Comics' top superheroine might be disappointed by this, even if it is a "classic" volume. Plus, some profanity, sexual references, and sultry

I can see why it's so beloved, but for me the Pérez run is a little too bogged down in the mythology aspect. Which is weird, because I'm a huge fan of Greek mythology. I guess it's just because I'm more interested in WW's character and her relationships than I am with her devotion to the gods. The art is nice, the writing is generally very good, and it can serve as a good introduction to WW. For me, though, the focus on Olympus made it a chore at times to get through.

This volume marks the last collected edition of George Pérez's work on Wonder Woman (#1-24) in which he does writing and art duties. After issue #24, Pérez moved away from the artwork and it suffers a notable decline. He would continue writing the comic until issue #62, but from what I can see the comic's superiority was not there any more. So we are better to have the end of the collected edition here where we can see the consequence of the Amazons' decision to rejoin the rest of the internatio...

Actual Rating 3.5 Stars , With This volume ends the George Perez's beloved run of wonder woman. This was another good read, First two stories were decent. In first Diana tries to find the killer of one of her her beloved, in second diana goes back to her home island and Amazons decides to let mortal men come on their island for the first time. After that she takes her friends to her home, that was nice part and I love all the small moments of diana with vanessa and julia. Then prologue comes w

Wonder Woman is one of those many characters whom I can't say that I ever disliked, but I never gave much thought to or had much interest in for most of my life. Then, one day, I pulled a few Perez issues out of a cheap comics bin and promptly went out and hunted down George's entire 62-issue run.Finally, DC has done me the courtesy of collecting the first two years of the series - the issues that George drew (plus the Byrne-illustrated lead from Action #600 and the non-Perez all-star jam on Won...

I guess I just don't get this George Perez run. I know it's classic and all that, but I just don't like it. It's split between Diana hanging out with a mother/daughter duo and melodramatic Amazon stuff. On top of that they are so narration heavy. Just not what I'm looking for. I want to see Wonder Woman being Wonder Woman, not just a naive goddess. I want her to fight bad guys and be cool. This is not for me.We discussed this series more on an episode of the All the Books Show: https://soundclou...

Destiny Calling is the fourth volume of George Perez' Wonder Woman series. It begins with the investigation into Myndi Mayers' death. Sadly, it was the form of a white powder that killed her and not the nefarious Skeeter LaRue, but he did end up getting what he deserved. It's just a sad ending to Myndi's story. In the following chapter, the Gods of Olympus reveal their plans to Wonder Woman, Hippolyte, and Menalippe about their plan for 'cosmic migration' and how they need Wonder Woman to help t...
