Another great volume! So this volume is part three of the stretched out story line I have really been enjoying! Based on how the volume ends, I'm assuming the next volume will be a new story? Anyway. this volume had a very unique style, of being very dark and gritty in some parts and still being very funny in others, its a style, the movies should adopt to get the MCU fans to shut up, haha just joking, or am I? Anyway we get to see some new characters, we get introduced to The First Born, a new

(B+) 78% | GoodNotes: Soap-operatic, it feeds off the milk of family dysfunction, and amasses its fellowship by empathy and common cause.

3.5 starsI'm not ready to take back all of the ugly things I said about Volume 1 because I'm still disappointed in DC's reboot of Wonder Woman.But this volume is pretty decent.Now, I still hate the art, and I still hate the way quite a few of the gods are drawn. Poseidon is the worst offender, in my opinion, because he looks like a cross between an octopus and a frog.Frogtopus?My best guess is that they didn't want any confusion between him and Aquaman.And in that regard?Well, I'd say they achie...

Brian Azzarello’s take on Wonder Woman in the New 52 has been to really hit the Greek mythology angle hard so that his WW comics are full of Greek gods like Zeus, his wife Hera, and their many children, including illegitimate kids. It’s this latter that has been the driving force of the series so far. Zeus had yet another baby with a human woman which got snatched away as the vengeful Hera, intent on killing off any woman who sleeps with her husband, tried to kill both baby and mother. Wonder Wo...

Wonder Woman was one of my favourite titles in the new52; I felt it was one of the only titles to really have a firm understanding of what could be accomplished in rebooting a series.But this volume felt empty and lightweight to me. Devoid of exposition and skimpy on the action. The artwork didn't even feel complete, as if someone slapped some colour on a few rough drafts and then published it. A big dip in quality from the first two volumes.3/5

i like the story & the plot overall; i just think it had poor execution. & the art is... meh. 3/5

It's been a year since I first got on the Azzarello/Chiang bandwagon, and I've been following all my friends' reviews of the WW ongoing and admiring the staying power of this vision and execution to really capture so many people's imaginations.And in a time when DC editorial makes so many bow down to the altars of Batman and Justice League, for this to stay inoculated against that disease is pretty admirable. Don't know how Brian & Cliff have pulled it off but I'm back in - especially now that I...

That's it, Mr Azzarello. You just lost a reader. I must say I'm not surprised, I've bought the first 100 bullets and I couldn't even finish (I will givevit another go, but... meh).But here's why you lost me:Orion's sexism just put me off completely. Calling wonder woman "legs", slapping her bum... Nope. And then people are amazed that such a small amount of women is into comics. Well... TAH-DAH!!! Prime example.The plot was ok (hence the 2 stars instead of 1) but still too Jeremy Kyle for my tas...

Iron is Azzarello’s 3rd Wonder Woman collection and I haven’t been disappointed yet. This Volume starts out with a nifty little throw-back issue that’s half tribute to early Wonder Woman comics and half a recounting of Diana’s history with the Greek god, War. When I first opened this issue I was skeptical, not being a fan of old school comics, but don’t let that first impression fool you, it fits right in with the rest of Azzarello’s previous stuff. Then it’s on to the First Born. Azzarello has

This one was another epic one!It starts off with a flashback to Diana's childhood days when she trained with Ares and I love the story where her compassion rises and even moved the god of war but he considered her a failure and well move to present day we see Diana looking for the child and battling SIRACCA one of her siblings, and well I love the story how she wins the day with compassion and I love the whole family coming together!Plus going to her brother Milan who can see things and well he

Pretty sure the artwork describing Ares, the God of War, looks like writer Brian Azzarello. And that’s cool, I make myself look like The Dude, so rock on Brian.This GN begins with an issue looking back on Diana’s youth, when she was trained by Ares, and a confrontation with the Minotaur. Best part of this is Azzarello’s writing that pays loving tribute to the style of comic book writing of the 40s and 50s.The rest of the book is a continuation of Diana’s quest to find Zola’s baby, meeting more o...

I didn't write reviews of the first two volumes because I hadn't formed a strong opinion of this particular WW run, and I don't have a long history of WW comics, anyway, but I can say this is my favorite volume so far. My skimming of other reviews seems to indicate one will like this or not on the basis of its grounding WW's origin in Greek mythology, WW as an Amazonian, the daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta. I was initially sort of indifferent about it but I like it primarily because of Azzarello'...

Can we hurry up with the damn baby story already?In this volume, Wonder Woman is now trying to find Zola's baby (who could possibly bring on Armageddon) because it has been stolen. At this point, I'm getting real tired of Zola and this baby. Three volumes now! This felt like a soap opera. Not a terrible story for a soap but still nothing I really gave a shit about. So Wonder Woman spends a bunch of time working with some of her demigod brothers and sisters, including a SUPER cool sand/air girl w...

Story: Holy shit, talk about picking up in terms of stakes. So last we saw the baby taken by one of Diana's friends. However, now we get some backstory of how Wonder Woman trained with War as a child. After the backstory we're introduced to "The First" who's been buried and forgotten by the gods. However, he has rose, and he is really fucking pissed. Think like Kratos from god of war. Then we have Diana teaming up with War to go save the baby but we have new characters coming in left and right t...

I'll give it this: It's better than Vol. 2, for sure.I'm still up in the air about this one, but I think I'm leaning towards there was just enough good to outweigh the bad stuff. Can I give it 2 and 3/4 stars? It's better than 2.5 but not quite 3... My thoughts seems somewhere closer to Anne's Review mixed with Sam's than it is with Kris'...but that's the beauty of our gang, we can all have different opinions yet still get along! Honestly, Zeus has way too many kids. Like seriously, is this guy

Seeing how I loved the previous two volumes I was a bit disappointed with this one. So, Diana is trying to get Zola's baby back and in order to do so is tracking all her brothers and sisters (born from Zeus) so they can unite and help her. Apollo is trying to reunite brothers and sisters to fight the baby. A woman has brought back the First Born who ends up engulfed by Poseidon. And none of the three stories was that great...

FAN-FRICKEN-TASTIC this is the best comic DC is putting out right now

Rereading Azzarello's run of Wonder Woman only makes the experience better. Even though it is not as engaging and frenetic as the first two volumes, Wonder Woman: Iron still gets a five-star rating from me. Azz can seamlessly merge two different sets of characters together, the old gods and the new, into one cohesive story where technology meets magic.I also love the interplay between the characters. It is interesting to see how Hera, a goddess in the previous volumes, become a mere mortal. She,...

I think that wraps an arc -- or at least a sub-arc. Let you know on the next go-around!

This comic was not one of my favorites. Would like to read more comics with Wonder Woman though.
