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.

Pretty art, but I didn't care much for the premise that Wonder Woman basically decided her recent life was a lie; this was a clumsy way to try and retcon the previous writer's work. I liked how WW's traditional supporting cast and villains were reintroduced and heavily used. However I felt the book didn't have a proper conclusion, it seemed like they just reprinted X issues in the trade paperback but ran out of room mid-story-arc.

"It was all a lie".
Interesante giro de acontecimientos. En cada número, se gesta el principio de una historia épica y este ha sido el primer paso.

Not at all surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It was great to have Greg Rucka back on Wonder Woman (and back at DC) after so many years. Everything about this volume was great and I look forward to reading more!

I don't know. I don't know. I liked some aspects of this. I liked the art, mostly, and I really liked Wonder Woman and Cheetah working together, but they could have gone more in depth into that partnership. I liked Etta, too, but I wanted her to have more to do. Maybe it's because I'm reading this on the heels of De Liz's version, or maybe I just don't care for Greg Rucka's version of Diana, but something was just missing. They could have dived more deeply into the idea of Diana not knowing what's real and what's just a story, but maybe the storytelling suffered from collecting alternating issues.

After reading through the other timeline first and going back to read this one it has made a lot more sense than I first remember it making. However, there was still something missing from me which keeps this from getting bumped up a star on the second go around.
I am curious about this storyline though of things she thought were true turning out not to be. Now that I can see how the two storylines are starting to connect I'm a little curious to see more of that and what it turns out to be.

Holy cow. I've never been into Wonder Woman. I'll admit, I've never even read a Wonder Woman comic. But when this one popped up for review, I figured I might as well give it a shot. And I'm so glad I did. I thought this volume was absolutely awesome. I guess I'm a Wonder Woman convert.
I will for sure continue to read this series.
I received an advanced copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It was beautifully illustrated, promoted strong female friendship which are sorely lacking in a lot of comics I've read, and all out some serious toxic masculinity. Loved it

This was just okay. I really wanted to like this more.
Rucka is jumping through hoops to fix the fucked up history Diana was given in New 52 Wonder Woman. When Azzarello decided to get rid of the "made of clay" origin and shove more of the gods in, a lot of people were pissed. He took an inherently feminist origin and made it about Hippolyta getting in on with Olympus' most famous man whore (and rapist depending on your mythos). I enjoyed some of that run but I get why Rucka would want to return Diana to what she was originally. She is a symbol of female empowerment from a society made up entirely of strong women. I appreciate his dedication to her history.
However, I don't always love the way he tells Wonder Woman stories. He tends to give us more of other people reacting to Diana and less Diana.
This begins with a very lackluster issue where Diana realizes that she's been lied to. The whole issue is her making her way through a jungle (?) and going over all the lies she's believed over the years. She has to search for the truth and she thinks that truth is in Themyscira. This portion is okay. Nothing super special, but it's okay.
She ends up searching for Cheetah to get there, or at least I think that's why she went looking for Barbara Ann. Unfortunately, the entirety of this arc with the misogynistic god did fuck all for me. I wasn't interested in Barbara Ann or the rambling magic words to bring the god back at all.
I enjoyed the stuff with Etta Candy and Steve Trevor (holy shit is he attractive in this book) more than a lot of the Wonder Woman stuff. Steve Trevor was funny and gorgeous and he believes in Diana so much. It was wonderful to see.
I enjoyed the mall scene and the nods to the writers and artists that have come before this series.
That was really it. There wasn't a ton for me to like about this series and that's a shame. Rucka's a legendary writer but this series, so far, didn't really do anything for me.
I'll definitely keep reading the series but I'll probably just borrow it instead of buying it.
