I finally finished this beast of a book. It clocks in around 900 pages. It collects all of Phil Jimenez's 2 year run on Wonder Woman along with some odds and ends he wrote like The Return of Donna Troy. It collects stories that have been collected before like Gods & Gotham, Paradise Lost, Paradise Found along with over 300 pages that have never been collected before where Wonder Woman travels to Skartaris and to the past to team up with her mother. The Return of Donna Troy was written years late...
When it comes to art you can't go wrong with this but the Story was Average.
A gorgeous volume containing Jimenez' original run plus assorted Wonder Woman (and Donna Troy) materials he created over the years.The first half of the book is a bit messy, something the author admits to in the foreword, but the second half gets into a more interesting pace and has some highlights, with the use of some unexpected vintage characters and the creation of an interesting new one.Phil Jimenez love the for the Wonder Woman character and mythos permeate all over the book, concluding on...
Petite déception, je ne m'attendais pas à ça. Déjà il faut des pré-requis, avoir lu le run de Perez doit avoir un bel avantage pour profiter du run, ce qui n'est pas mon cas. Quand même de belles choses qui m'ont plu, les relations entre Diana et ses amis humains, et l'approche relationnelle du personnage que j'ai trouvé très intéressant, mais ... dès que je commençais à rentrer dedans, le récit fut couper de plusieurs events universo-cataclysmiques typique de chez dc, avec 50 personnages en mêm...
Gave this one a few attempts, got more than half way but I wasn't enjoying it. Will try again some other time.
Nobody draws Wonder Woman like Phil Jimenez. Nobody, that is, except that man who relaunched Wonder Woman in 1987, George Perez himself. This hefty tome collects all of Phil Jimenez's work on Wonder Woman in the early 2000s, including the excellent "Gods of Gotham", "Paradise Lost", "Our Worlds at War", "Land of the Lost" arcs, "Return of Donna Troy", and many more. Well worth your money and that space on your library's bookshelf, if you're a Wonder Woman fan. Plus, that excellent art!
Phil Jiminez says that his run was rocky due to the couple of mandated crossovers, but this is actually pretty good and a worthy extension of the now lost, lamented George Perez era.The top arc is probably the sojourn in Skartaris. It's a fun, pulpy adventure that Jiminez does a great job with. (I think the shorter 17-page stories help.)But one of those mandated crossovers, Worlds at War, is quite good too. Jiminez does a good job of weaving it into the tale of his storyline, really making it se...
There were parts of this book that I really loved, and others that I couldn’t possibly care less about. The heart of Phil Jimenez’s work on Wonder Woman has the wonderful humanising through-line for both Diana and Donna Troy, but it gets so mired in tie-ins that at times this book could be quite a slog. If you love Wonder Woman and are super obviated in the amazons of Themyscira and Bana-Magdhal then this may well be for you, but for anyone new to Wonder Woman or is just a very casual fan? Maybe...
This one just didn't click with me. A big part of it is how compressed the storytelling was. Admittedly I read this after having just finished Geoff Johns' Aquaman omnibus, so that may have been a part of this, but this may go down as the most ultra-compressed comic I've read, including dozens of bronze age books.I think a big part of the problem with this book is that it was not very accessible at all. I'll pick up a Wonder Woman comic every year or two if there's a new run to check it out, and...
Always a pleasure to revisit.
