More like a 3.5 star read, but I find myself up-rating simply because it seems headed in a direction I might come to eventually love (unlike the whole Olympian pantheon/God of War business circa New 52). I also seriously enjoyed that this one used Cheetah in such an unexpected way. However, as much as I've always loved the idea of Wonder Woman as a character, it will take something really special in terms of execution to get me completely invested. I haven't found that feeling in any of the olde...

Awesome graphics. Cool Rebirth story with Cheetah and both humans, Olympians and bad guys. I enjoyed these episodes - looking forward to see where they take this new character arc!

When DC relaunched their whole line-up last year with Rebirth, it was clearly a response to the fans’ negativity towards The New 52, a five-year-long reboot that removed the decades of continuity of which many adored. Taking note from Geoff Johns when he penned DC Universe: Rebirth #1, Greg Rucka – who wrote a run of the character during the early noughties – revisits Wonder Woman by acknowledging the different interpretations of her origin and stating that all that was a lie.As with many of DC

Greg Rucka makes his return to Wonder Woman! What we get is a story that looks and feels very pulpy. Liam Sharp and Laura Martin give this look to the book that reminds me of old Doc Savage covers from the 1930's. It fits well in the African theme. WW switches to a new costume that looks like the one from the DC movies.Our story starts off with WW getting premonitions of being lied to. We see images of some of her pre-new 52 life. Diana tries to go to Olympia for answers and can't get there or T...

Wonder Woman!Rebirthed...again?Ok, this opens with the Rebirth issue that I've already reviewed. In a nutshell, Wonder Woman realizes something is wrong with her memory and starts to remember her different origin stories - ties in with the Rebirth/Smiley Face Button thing...'nuff said.As far as the art goes, it sloshed around quite a bit between very good, somewhat passable, and downright ugly. In some panels, it looked like WW had been hit in the face with a shovel...hard.As far as the story go...

Re-review: So I read these as single issues. Not knowing the graphic novels would be skipping every other issue. So this is just current time WW. Which still ain't bad but not a 4 star. Close to a 3, maybe 3.5 by the end. I still enjoyed the end result of current time WW. Especially the final two issues. We get some answers on Steve X Diana, and also the final moment in the last issue is like "Oh shit" moment we've been waiting for. I'ma keep what I said below but I'm about to do my review of Ye...

Wonder Woman thinks someone’s fucking with her - “The story keeps changing” she chants, over and over, probably a meta reference to how her origins have changed over the years with different writers. She asks her arch-enemy Cheetah to help her figure out what’s happening, but first she must defeat an evil Swamp Thing-esque monster in Africa and get it on with Steve Trevor! So Wonder Woman’s still a steaming pile! I never read Greg Rucka’s previous Wonder Woman run but I’m guessing some readers l...

Even though this is technically volume 1 in the series I found it helpful that I'd read "Year One" already. "Wonder Woman: The Lies" takes place in the present and has Diana dealing with memory loss - I guess that's what happens when your character gets rewritten too many times... I pretty much enjoyed this volume. The story was good, with ancient jungle gods and mysterious secret organizations, and the artwork gorgeous. The only thing I didn't like was Steve's beard (I guess not every Steve can...

I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. EDIT: I also received a copy from Netgalley.Not bad, not good, just sort of middle of the road. Artwork was okay. The biggest issue I have with this volume is that it feels incomplete. There is simply no resolution to the main plot. The subplot with Cheetah was good, and it pushed the story forward, but again, there was no answer to "The Lies" tormenting Wonder Woman.

This was just okay. I really wanted to like this more.Rucka is jumping through hoops to fix the fucked up history Diana was given in New 52 Wonder Woman. When Azzarello decided to get rid of the "made of clay" origin and shove more of the gods in, a lot of people were pissed. He took an inherently feminist origin and made it about Hippolyta getting in on with Olympus' most famous man whore (and rapist depending on your mythos). I enjoyed some of that run but I get why Rucka would want to return

So yeah, after reading Year One and re-reading this volume, I am bumping my rating up to three solid stars. Still not exactly excellent, but a much better read when you have the context of Year One. And hey, Cheetah was in this volume, too! I totally forgot about that. I kinda get the feeling that it's also going to be an even better read after Volume 4, which is supposed to have even more backstory and context for the events of this book, but we'll see about that.

I’m given to understand that it’s fair game to wonder what’s in a Wonder Ball, but is it acceptable to wonder what’s in a Wonder Woman? I have no idea, but I suppose that’s neither here nor there.I’ve read many a comic with Wonder Woman in it, but this is, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, my first foray into a full arc of a WW solo book. It was…well, it wasn’t wondrous. More like Perfectly Adequate Woman. But, I suspect that’s more a reflection of the initial line of Rebirth books generally than t...

I think the author undertook a thankless task here by outright embracing the endless confusion entailed by 75+ years of continuity, em, whatever DC calls it, but despite some gorgeous art in places it maddens rather than intrigues, and also (to my mind) undermines WW's greatest foe (Cheetah) as just another victim of male machinations as opposed to an evil entity in her own right. With this title now under my belt, too, I'm beginning to come around to the seeming consensus that Rebirth is a bust...

The artwork in this is phenomenal 😍!

I wanted to LOVE this book. I love Wonder Woman, haven't liked the last two writers on the book, and really enjoyed Rucka's previous run on the title. That I only liked it, and really liked some parts, is kind of disappointing. I like that Rucka seems to be playing with sweeping away the (in my opinion) entirely unnecessary changes that were made by previous writers, and I still really like the way he writes Diana herself. But this first story was merely ok, and felt oddly rushed. There's a real...

I'm here to admit I was wrong. When I first read this book, everything seemed silly, over-wrought, and convoluted. But now that I've re-read it after not only learning more about Wonder Woman, but also reading the second volume Wonder Woman, Volume 2: Year One, enjoying it, and realizing that it must be read in tandem with this one, I've come to appreciate this effort a bit more! Now, while I do feel like it's still a little too much for a novice Wonder Woman reader, I can see what Rucka has bee...

Rebirth? Or Retread?Meh.I’ve only read a handful of books from Greg Rucka so I was not sure what to expect, but I’m more familiar with Liam Sharp’s fine work and so I opened this GN collection of the first few issues of the WW rebirth start with some optimism.Sharp’s art was pretty good but not his best work and I just did not get excited about the storyline at all. I can appreciate that Rucka and team may have been providing a foundation for the Rebirth reset and this could get better, but I’m

So another day another Rebirth issue done and dusted like others said this issue also doesn't explain anything about rebirth thingie but still it was a nice read and as usual I flew through the book, this begins with Diana expressing doubts about her memories and tries to enter few divine places but can't and then something, something, something, Cheetah etc. The art was very much varied in some panels it's breathtaking, in other places it's passable and in multiple places it's downright ugly. S...

Note to self: You still don't like anybody else's Wonder Woman stories. Stop sampling the wares. It only makes you angry.Yeah, yeah, I tricked myself into reading this because I was so enamored with The Legend of Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Origins and I thought maybe, just maybe, all the writers were aligning with that story even though I saw the "DC Universe Rebirth" written across the cover of this one and I knew that couldn't be anything good.And it's not.We're back to Wonder Woman for guys with th...

This was a fascinating volume and I loved it. I remember reading it when it was coming out but its mostly about rebooting the N52 version of Diana as we find that her origin and her adventures there was a lie and then she faces off against this truth and she teams with Cheetah to defeat the god Urzkartaga who had cursed Barbara-Ann and so Diana needs to fight that guy and also save Steve and other trapped women in the process. Moreover we find what Etta has been upto and a changed status quo. Fu...
