Wonder Woman: Ends of the Earth by Gail Simone
4.0
This is yet another one of Gail Simone's series that I continue to read out of order. I know I've read a previous volume before because I recognize the characters but I was pretty lost on the portion taking place in the government. Besides that, I really enjoyed this. I know Rucka is everyone's go to Wondy writer but I actually like Simone's style better. Rather than go full tilt into the mythology and feature a lot of side characters talking about what a wonder Diana is, Simone shows more than tells. Bless her for that!
This features someone I either forgot or never paid attention to before: Tom Tesser. I think that's his name? He's enthralled with Diana and that affection leads him to a few interesting confrontations. One of which is one of Diana's greatest admirers and I loved that introduction!!
The main plot in this book is Diana taking on Grendel and while I hated Beowulf in school, this was interesting. I enjoyed it a little more than the evil queen storyline later on.
What made this such a great book to me was Diana. She is so amazing and fair in this book. I know, I know, she always is but it's still great to see. She doesn't take anyone shit and she's protective over her fellow sisters. This is the kind of Wonder Woman story I can get behind.
So, while I don't recommend you read this if you haven't read the other volumes, it's still a very enjoyable book. It's a tentative recommend, provide you've picked up the rest of Simone's run.
