There is a slight dip in quality from prior volumes. Mindy Newell also comes onboard as co-writer in the back half of the volume.It’s somewhat convoluted and overly busy at times but overall it’s a gorgeous chapter in Diana’s history. It’s mythology heavy and the art is glorious. The lettering in one of the stories is formatted as a handwritten letter and is quite difficult to read as its cursive script. I found that overdone and somewhat illegible. The annual at the end of the book is glorious
Definitely not my favorite entry is this collection. Frankly, it's a bit of a slog at times. Also, for what it's worth, Perez is plotting these stories but otherwise passing the work off to other writers and artists. The two main narratives each have a good premise - bringing a diverse delegation from patriarch's world to Themyscira and resolving the story of the Silver Swan - but seem drawn out in execution. If you're on board for Volume 4 of an omnibus, you're already committed to reading it i...
This compilation of Wonder Woman stories deals with her early years, when she was trying to find her footing in our world. The transition didn’t go smoothly and getting a publicist didn’t always help. Superman had Lois Lane on his side; Wonder Woman had Myndi Mayer.Ms. Mayer was a determined money-maker while Diana’s goal was very different. Ms. Mayer wanted to make Wonder Woman a household name, her gauntlets a brand and, if she made money off it, what was the harm? Needless to say, Diana was n...
Not a big fan of this volume.First we've already lost the Perez artwork as of the last volume.Then in this one, most of the story is told as narration so it is at a remove and ends up making things boring. Only a short section near the end concerning the Silver Swan is at all exciting to me.
Tal vez el tomo con el relato más pesado y denso, con historias irrelevantes como su despedida de la agencia de publicidad de Mindi Mayer. Espero no tener que volver a ver un comic dibujado por Chris Marrinan, no puedo conectar con su arte. Mindy Newell asume más la responsabilidad de contar las historias. La vuelta de Silver Swan es un punto positivo.El punto más bajo de un clásico.
Después de mucho tiempo retomo esta etapa del personaje. Desde acá Pérez deja de dibujar y se encarga solo de los guiones, incluso en algunos casos del argumento nomás. Igual la calidad de las historias no se ve afectada; lo bueno sigue estando en los personajes y en las adaptaciones de la mitología griega; para ser un cómic de superhéroes, las batallas son un aspecto secundario.Lo que sí podría criticar es el cambio de dibujantes, incluso con la presencia de varios. Son buenos, es indudable, pe...
Wow, that was boring. I really had to power through to finish. By this point, George Perez was just coming up with the plots and Mindy Newell was doing the actual scripting. First up was the Annual where Myndi Meyer's marketing team had something of a memorial for her while they reminisced about Wonder Woman. Then was a REALLY long story about U.N. delegates coming to Themyscira. After several issues they are all corrupted by Eris and her apples of discord but it took forever to get to that poin...
I was expecting this volume of George Perez's Wonder Woman run to be a bore since one of the two main stories is about Wonder Woman bringing a small global delegation, including Lois Lane, to Paradise Island. I have found things have a way of meandering on Themyscira - especially when there's some dark, jealous demi-goddess secretly conspiring among the shadows while the Amazons remain oblivious. But this multi-parter moved quickly! The interactions between Wonder Woman's polytheistic sisterhood...
A remarkably dull volume. It also suffers through the loss of George Perez's art and writing. In this volume he is either a plotter or a Co writer. The biggest flaw was the use of narration ( so much narration) which takes away from the immediacy of the story. The ideas and art for the stories are fine but it just did not capture my attention like the previous volumes. Possibly my expectations have been raised too high after the earlier volumes.
