Fine, I'm done. Wonder Woman goes on the pile with Batwoman as Comics I Thought I Was Going to Love But Dear God No.
Shame.
Shame.

Wonder Woman, Vol. 3: Iron collects 7 issues from the series into a larger story arc. Issue #0 is included here and it's a sort of origin story from Wonder Woman's past when she was about 13, and it is reminiscent of some of the classic original stories.
In the rest of the volume, Dianna has to save a baby that she may be related to, while battling and tentatively trusting other members of her family. This is a new attempt to bring Wonder Woman back into Greek mythology. We learn that Zeus is her father. Along the way, she is helped by Orion, from the New Gods. He is a welcome addition to this book, because while he has his own motives, they are clear and not hidden (like the rest of Dianna's family).
This is a strong Wonder Woman as she should be, but there are kind of a confusing amount of characters for new readers. Granted, this is Volume 3, so readers should take note. I enjoyed it, but confess to liking the initial story in the graphic novel much more than the rest of it.
I received this review copy from D.C. Comics and Netgalley in return for an honest review. Thank you D.C. Comics and Netgalley.

This volume of WW is worth reading just for the Before the New 52 issue written as an homage to the comic style of the golden and silver age. Also: Wesley Willis as the obvious inspiration for a newly introduced demigod!

I'm still not wild about the art style for this run of Wonder Woman, but I liked the inclusion of her origin story featuring Ares. It takes me back to when I was a kid reading about the story of Wonder Woman and how she bested bullies and monsters to become who she is. Seeing the other demigod children of Zeus have a more active role was cool, too. I don't know, though, maybe this run just isn't for me.

Loved starting with the backstory between Diana and War - but the "family picture" final frame? The best.

I keep reading these hoping they'll get better. And am more disappointed with each volume. No Wonder with this Wonder Woman.
