Overall a great compilation that points at the best of what Wonder Woman can be as a hero…unless it's the new 52, then she's kind of indistinct from the grimdark edgy nonsense.
I received a free copy from the publisher thorugh NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.This is a collection of several different stories of Wonder Woman's battles throughout the years. I personally wasn't exactly a huge fan of some of the older ones and enjoyed the newer ones much more, but if you want to get an overview on Wonder Woman as a character before the movie comes out, this is a great collection to pick up. It comes out today, February 14.
This review was originally posted on my blog @ SwissbookwormSuch a fun collection of so many great different fights with Wonder Woman. Seeing her battle so many different foes in just one collection really made me want to read more and more. I will definitely have to try to check out some of the older stories because I got very curious about some of these fights.Reading about Diana fighting against Superman (and nearly killing each other) or her fighting next to Power Girl against evil children
Great read to go with your movie experience.
54th book read in 2017.Number 571 out of 618 on my all time book list.
"You're strong." - Superman"I know." - Wonder WomanIt's just too bad that this collection does not serve casual or burgeoning WW fans particularly well. Released in early 2017 (probably not a coincidence that it arrived scant months prior to the big screen blockbuster with Gal Gadot) this is a grab-bag edition. Often the stories are 'part 3' or the 'final fight' without including any preceding storylines. So while the content was good - "A Murder of Crows" and a Justice League piece were sort of...
Wonder Woman will always be my favorite hero. This was a fun highlight reel of some of her greatest battles. Fun read for a quiet day, especially while also reading another book about her history. Going back and reading the comics at the same time adds to the enjoyment.
Entertaining, and a decent look at some of the key creative teams chronicling Diana's adventures in recent years. However, these sorts of "best of" comic collections are rarely satisfactory due to their very nature: you only get chapters of much longer stories, and those are usually end chapters at that. No matter how good the payoff, without its setup something important goes missing. An emotional connection to any of the characters is all but impossible. It's fun reading; it just feels a littl...
It’s a bit strange to read some of these stories out of the context of their larger continuing arcs but it is a good way to experience some of the tremendous action packed WW art that has been created over the years.
While there are some great battles here, almost all of them are finales of multi-issue arcs. New readers especially will be somewhat confused. Most of the stories are collected in other trades, I urge everyone to find them there. That being said, all of the stories are post Crisis. The Greg Rucka and Brian Azzarello stories can be found in their own collections and are from the 2 best runs ever in Wonder Woman's history in my opinion. John Bryne's take on WW is hit or miss and widely overlooked
This is an anthology of Wonder Woman stories from the 80s to "The New 52".I just loved reading the '80s stories and then enjoyed them all very much even though I'd read the last two in recent years. A lot of different Wonder Woman through the ages, personality and costume changes but all of these stories show her as a warrior completely sure of herself. A fun and enjoyable retrospective of Wonder Woman.
Most of the art in this book was very good but the most of the stories were not.Art :4Story :3
Wonder Woman POWER PLAY - Has the potential to be movie made, if it’s not already. Zombie soldiers. Ares being an absolute mofo. I love the contrast of his and Diana’s colours and how some panels would only use a single primary colour to pop the scene out. The resolution (view spoiler)[with the help of the golden lasso of truth binding onto Ares and showing him his consequences (hide spoiler)] didn’t feel rushed. IN THE FOREST OF NIGHT - There were a lot of things happening. Aside from Wonder W...
Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest This is my first graphic novel, and I did enjoy the art in it! This book contains the greatest battles of Wonder Woman. It is a compilation of seven comic book scenes, all sharing a different battle of Wonder Woman, and a different kind of art.. But even though I enjoyed the art, as a first one, this didn’t make me happy. The stories are put in this compilation chronologically by when they were made, starting from a scene that was made in 1987, u...
**I received a free eARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**This is a collection of some of Wonder Woman's greatest battles. It's not the best book to pick up if you want to know more about Diana's story, but it's perfect if you want to see her fight and what she stands for. And to check out some really cool art from many different artists.Not only does Wonder Woman know how to kick butt, but she's also compassionate and caring. She wants to keep people safe and b...
So I've come back to Wonder Woman after years away. This collection is various battles from various storylines. Think of each section as its own story.I really liked the story with Medusa because it just shows that Wonder Woman is far better than those silly boys. And she knows fighting isn't all just pummelling. It is also mental.
Like it says on the cover, this is the greatest battles of that great lady known as Wonder Woman.Basically this feels like a boxing/pro-wrestling collection of some of the best fights Wonder Woman has ever faced.Wonder Woman is an Amazon, a woman bred for war, but she is not a savage. She craves a good fight not for the pleasure of blood but for the preservation of life. So she fights with skill and intelligence as well as brute strength and speed. Those that fall under her fists, feet, lasso, s...
This is a interesting compilation of battles throughout Wonder Woman's history. Because these are single issues from longer arcs, some of the stories felt a bit hard to get into. There was normally enough info so you could follow the story, but it was hard to get invested in characters you only know from a few lines of exposition. Also, because there were various writers, the quality varied from excellent (ie Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, etc) to...not so excellent (::cough::Gail Simone::cough::). Bu...
Sometimes I really wish when a collection like this is put together, it would include context for the included stories.So let me try.It begins with Wonder Woman #6 from 1987. This was a relaunch following Crisis on Infinite Earths one of the first and among the most famous event comics ever created. Following it, DC did its first major reboot. John Byrne's Man of Steel is usually the comic that comes to mind when thinking about this period, but George Perez (who made his name drawing the immense...
I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. Meh. Out of the 70 years Wonder Woman has been around, these are her greatest battles? Nah,although I did like the story in which she fought Max Lord. Brutal.
