Fun story with gorgeous, sexy artwork. Very '90's.

I enjoyed this quick Wonder Woman arc, even though it wasn't especially super-hero-y, and it suffered significantly from the worst of comic drawing of women during the time period, which probably won't get better until we get back to the Rucka trades, but that's some time coming. Regardless, a quick arc that, after a gap in time from the trades, does a good job setting (or re-setting) the Themyscira stuff, and leads right into the next set of trades. A good read.

A point of annoyance, however. It's 2012, we have digital comics and such, and yet it appears that I cannot get about 60 issues (10 trades worth) between the previous Wonder Woman trade and The Contest? Really? I understand not wanting to print print something, but digital is cheap and easy, guys.

This story deals with Wonder Woman's return to Paradise Island and the a contest to pick her replacement. This volume sets up what is sure to be an interesting arc. While I enjoyed this story, the art really didn't work for me. They made her look more like Stripper Woman. It didn't work.

I really liked this! If it follows the same vein as the past then I know how it will end but I would be willing to read this storyline until its conclusion.
