The artwork in this book is completely stunning! This was not only my first Wonder Woman comic, but my first DC comic as well! The storyline was a tad confusing, but I loved how it was presented practically as poetry. I will be looking for the remainder of the series to continue!!!

(Read as Single Issues) I already knew I loved Diana. I did not know I loved Steve Trevor. Now I do. Bring on Vol. 3: The Truth!

The plot's a bit of a slog, and I prefer the Year One art, but I love Etta & Barbara Ann & have feelings about Diana not being able to find her home. Even the Steve stuff made me care more than I ever really have about him? I'd maybe give this 3.5 stars, mostly because I definitely want to keep reading and find out what happens next.

I definitely enjoyed this. I think a lot will depend on the second trade, which is actually the rebirth version of Diana's origin story. I'm keen to see what they do there. I really like these characters and I can't wait to read more.

This was one of the best Wonder Woman stories I've ever read. What a great start to the Rebirth era. Can't wait for volume 2.

This was an interesting one, I have minimal knowledge of Wonder Woman, but really want to give her another go (I wasn't a fan of the New 52 story line).
The story begins and it is really confusing, without spoiling anything Wonder WOman is confused about who she is and is convinced she has in part been living a lie. At first, I thought this was an attempt to rectify the DC Rebirth storyline, but i'm not certain it was. It seemed like this was referring to things that happened in the past, but this was the first volume. Rather frustrating for a new fan.
One thing I did like is the story jumps right into it, rather then worrying about giving a super in depth origin story. Most people have a basic knowledge of this hero, so it was nice to get right to the meat of the story. I just wish the initial part of the book didn't keep referring to events that clearly happened in the past and weren't common knowledge.
One thing I really enjoyed was Cheatah's involvement with the story, she was a compelling character.
Wonder Woman herself felt a little flat, she has a personality, but her dialogue is pretty basic and she feels very one dimensional. There aren't any great fights or even confrontations in the novel, with Wonder Woman sort of springing forward, smashing, and then done.
Overall it wasn't bad, but it felt like very little content. Not certain I will be looking for volume 2

One of the better Rebirth issues so far. Full of knowing winks to fans, but careful not to isolate newcomers. Also warm, and funny, especially regarding Diana's relationship with Barbara Ann Minerva.
Stunning artwork, with some real 'zinger' panels.
