That was one of the best Wonder Woman books I've read. Sure it had its missteps, but I have to hand it to Denny O'Neil for thinking outside of the box. I would have it preferred it if she would have kept some of her Wonder Woman personality traits, "great Hera" and things like that. But overall, I was pleased with this. She managed to stay tough and interesting, even without powers. I particularly enjoyed the Paradise Island arc with Ares. I look forward to volume 2.

The first 120 pages are mostly lame, poorly written hokum. The final 50, the "Return to Paradise Island" storyline, however, are a must read, a glorious heroic epic in the vain of a Lord of the Rings battle. I've never seen such an disparity in quality within the comic.
