I think that Mercedes Lackey said it best (by quoting Gail Simone) about Gail Simone's vision of Wonder Woman in the introduction: "When you need to stop an asteroid, you get Superman. When you need to solve a mystery, you call in Batman. But when you need to end a war, you get Wonder Woman." And the stories contained within illustrate why GS's vision is so powerful... and show why many times the knock-down-drag-out fights are not always necessary, and that you can be unafraid to fight, while li...

Gail Simone makes Wonder Woman look cool. Finally. Even the dorky much-lampooned Lasso Of Truth is a wicked weapon in her hands. Simone, you're my hero.

I just can't seem to really connect to a wonder woman comic. I enjoyed most of Gail's stuff, and this story isn't bad, and art is solid, but just...did almost nothing for me on personal level.

Not being that familiar with other Wonder Woman stories, i really enjoyed the depth of character put into this book. I felt like it was really clear how heroic a character Wonder Woman is from the writing, i enjoyed the art as well. Just very honest and grounded, which is hard to do in the format.

To quote from the Mercedes Lackey preface, "Here is the warrior who knows that the goal of fighting is to end conflict, who understands strategy and uses every advantage, who knows that negotiation and compromise are tools fit for a warrior, who never loses compassion even for her enemies. Here is Wonder Woman, coherent. Here at last is Wonder Woman as Goddess."

3.5This wasn't my favorite but it was good and Wonder Woman is quickly becoming one of my favourite DC characters. I loved the artwork, and liked the story.

This was a great soft reboot of Wonder Woman. Gail Simone writes a powerful and compelling heroine and manages to create a coherent backstory that resolves some of the inconsistencies in Wonder Woman's history. I didn't dig the Nazi fighting and the forced romance at the end knocked off a full star from my rating, but overall I really enjoyed this volume.

A great story about Diana's love for her mother...and then some stuff that happens in space.Oh, Diana is now the Champion of Maoi...because Moana parallels weren't strong enough already.

I love Wonder Woman and Terry and Rachel Dodson's art is always excellent. The Circle was one of the more easier comic books to sink into especially considering this is book three in the series. However I still felt a bit lost and and the new artist in the last 50 pages wasn't as impressive.

2.5 starsOn paper, having writer Gail Simone (even this book's back-flap mini bio gushes "known for her much-beloved run on 'Birds of Prey'" - no argument there!) pen a Wonder Woman volume sounds like a guaranteed home run for DC. Unfortunately, The Circle was sort of detached and cold, and it often did not generate more than mild interest for me. The four-part title story had a few good moments - WW taking on modern-day Nazis invading her birthplace? Bring the popcorn! - but at times it felt un...

I really wanted to like this because I usually like Simone's writing and Diana is one of my faves. Unfortunately, the first plot line was so off putting to me. The idea that the vendetta against Diana's birth was based jealously in addition to the fear rubbed me the wrong way. These women have lived years without the ability to have children and the story only shows women who desired children. They even show women making wooden children to cope with their feelings. Why? Not all women want childr...

Cant tell if its wonder woman or simones writing. I just havent fallen in love with either yet.

I've heard very good things about Gail Simone's run on Wonder Woman, so I went in with high expectations. Luckily, I wasn't disappointed. Yay! This particular volume feels very exposition-y, and it bears remembering that this is right after the highly ill-advised Amazons Attack! storyline (which I am boycotting). In other words, it's a lot of foundation. It felt like a solid foundation to me, and it opened up a storyline that I wasn't expecting, relating to Diana's birth. More will come of this,...

Just ok... Based on other reviews, I was expecting depth of character, original plot lines.

I really enjoyed Wonder Woman: The Circle. It conveys all the best qualities of Wonder Woman. She sees all the details of a situation without losing sight of the big picture: a great strategic and diplomatic mind, strong, fierce and compassionate. Mercedes Lackey wrote a great introduction for this volume, but I would hold off reading it until after you've read the book so you can form your own opinions unbiased. However, if you need to be sold on reading it, then by all means, read the introduc...

Been sighted as one of the best 'Wonder Woman' comic books in the last decade, as penned by Gail Simone. Sure I was hyped up - even the packaging was immaculate and handled with extreme care when it was posted to my door. But experience has taught me to always keep my expectations low on anything.In the end I couldn't help it - the book and its cover make it look like a Greek mythology treasure trove!Nonetheless, I enjoyed 'Wonder Woman, Vol. 3: The Circle'.The plotting is solid - nothing and no...

This book is written by the third of the three great writers of Wonder Woman in my opinion. After George Pérez and Greg Rucka, Gail Simone may have been by 2008 the most natural choice to write Wonder Woman in comic book history. She represents for women comic book writers what Dwayne McDuffie represents for black comic book writers. And we now have her writing THE superheroine of comic books. The crazy thing is that Simone seems to have been brought on at the last minute because of how terrible...

I love Wonder Woman, but I just can't wrap my brain about what's happening in this one thematically. The artwork is great, and the dialogue and action were fine. But I don't even know if it was well-written because I found the odd themes so distracting. **SPOILERS AHEAD**I'm baffled trying to figure out what the author is trying to say here. You have a society of women who can't have children, so they all go baby-crazy? To the point that they anthropomorphize dolls, and at least one lady has to...

Summary: Wonder Woman makes friends with some sentient gorillas, fights to save her homeland from invading Nazi goons and her mother from the former members of the queen's personal guard, and faces off with a member of another DC franchise over the fate of the Khund.Verdict: Strangely bland.Yay!: Mercedes Lackey writes a great introduction to this volume. Wonder Woman's core values are shown as she tries to befriend enemies, kicks butt, and extends mercy. The fight scenes are decent, and the bri...

“When you need to stop an asteroid, you get Superman. When you need to solve a mystery, you get Batman. But when you need to end a war, you get Wonder Woman.”- Gail Simone.In her write-up to Wonder Woman: The Circle, acclaimed fantasy writer Mercedes Lackey pegs this quote by Gail (the writer of this book) and gives us such a sense of anticipation that we are completely stoked to delve into this promising read.Here we acquaint ourselves with the four Amazons of the Royal Guard who were imperfect...
