I usually stay away from superhero comics and this one made me more firm on that. I didn't care for this comic.

I LOVE Wonder Woman. I love Wonder Woman, and I can't wait for the Wonder Woman sequel we'll be getting in 2020. Consequently, I've been trying to dip into Wonder Woman comics. For some reason, I read almost nothing from DC. Luckily, I once again have Kindle Unlimited (yes, I will probably be mentioning it again), and so I was able to read Greg Rucka's wonder Woman.
I know that this was part of DC's Rebirth series, but I can't help but feel like I needed more background knowledge going into this volume than I had. What was up with Diana having Ares' helmet? How is Steve Trevor alive and still in the military? What is Etta's role in all of this? Who is Cheetah? This volume assumed I knew at least some of those things, which I didn't.
Still, I think Rucka writes our beloved Diana tremendously love. She's genuinely good and loving but also conflicted because she can no longer go home. I like how Rucka did not compromise her kindness for strength. I also felt like he devoted equal time to both the action sequences and the character development, which is a hard balance to strike.
I can't even pick a favorite moment so here are a few: Steve carrying around Diana's mugshot and preferring it to any other picture of her that he could find on the Internet because it's "his", Diana still believing in Cheetah (really, their whole friendship, Diana rescuing Steve, Etta hardcore believing in and shipping them both, and Steve and Diana's relationship talk.

It was alright, artwork was nice but the plot felt kind of jumpy.

This volume is the example of why I still don't feel 100% comfortable reading comics. Mental illness is always, ALWAYS, a plot device to make villains and/or 'complex' characters. There is a purposely denied to do better, there always has to be a character hospitalized, caricatured and ridiculized. Sure, I'm not expecting a history about mental health in superheroes comics, but if you can't write without contributing to the stigma, just don't write about it. I don't know, the image of Wonder Woman being locked away because Steve doesn't have the patience to deal with her breakdown is just heartbreaking. It feels like a slap in the face.

I didn't enjoy the mood and tone at first (I think the art had something to do with that), but WW's wisdom throughout and the conclusion of the story helped increase my appreciation significantly.

Naozaj dychberúce ilustrácie, avšak čo sa týka príbehu, bol veľmi rozsegmentovaný a jednotlivé časti na seba ani nenadväzovali. Zrazu len "strih" a už som čítala o niečom úplne inom. Takisto mi vadilo, ako očividne sa autor spoliehal na to, že Wonder Woman ako postavu každý už pozná, a preto sa nezdržoval s jej charakteristikou. Takže nebola ani ako postava. Skôr ako akýsi odkaz všetkého, čím si v komiksoch už prešla. Dosť smutné.
