well this was much better than the rebirth one shot but still confusing about to whats happening , The Art was so good , i guess it won't be wrong to call it the best DC rebirth art so far , was gutted that they spent the book more one steve trevor doing Steve Trevor thing and not on Diana fighting cheetah and her minions

An amazing start to what seems to be an incredibly promising run. I've been sold on Rucka for a while now, but the art here really sells me on Sharp as he creates such a gorgeous-looking book. This is a book I can't wait to read more of.

After seeing Wonder Woman on the silver screen, I was blown away by how little and yet so well the portrayal of her greatness. With that image burning in my mind I entered a comic book store for the second time in as many months to get a copy of one of my first heroes stories. The owner recommended this and I took him up on it. I'm not current on Wonder Woman lore, so I was eager to see what's been done with her since my last comic book buy. Back when comics cost $1.95 or less.
First I noticed comics are no longer on newsprint and no longer have multiple references to previous editions that help the reader know the story arc and background. Both changes saddened me. I was immediately lost and unsure where my heroine was in her life. I did correctly assume the dual stories were not tangential but parallel. But why WW was offering warnings and forced to face claw and tooth to talk to a goddess? Why was her friend fallen? Who is the mysterious military commander named Etta and how is a man under her command connected to WW? What significance a mug shot in his pocket?
I guess longtime devotees will know these historical references but I don't. It felt like the writers either assumed I already know or trust them enough to come back and buy issue 2 for the reveal.
The art. Yes. The art is good. I loved the forested jungle and the city jungle artistry. The color schemes were purposefully similar. The dangers in each were no ma ch for the soldiers for hire but WW's were more frontally presented if not more explained. I loved her costume and how her form was drawn but I was a bit unhappy with her facial features. Her jaw and cheeks were a bit too softened. It's a tough balance between femininity and warrior princess, I'm sure. So it seems the artist chose feminine softness balanced with confident power.
So did I like it? Yes. Will I buy issue two at $2.99? Yes. Hopefully the background will flesh out more so I can be less confused.

Nice art, and I like this idea of so many origin stories being worked out.

Decided to step into the world of reading comics. Seems to be an interesting start so far.
Comics are so short, which is nice!

The ending is a helluva surprise. Like the feel of this even if the split storytelling doesn't quite work. New 52 Clark just died, maybe wait an issue or two before letting Steve get all moony.

I haven't raved enough about these comics but PLEASE READ THE NEW WONDER WOMAN RUN OF COMICS IF YOU CAN. They're all on sale on Comixology right now so there is no excuse.
