Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1 by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, Paulo Siqueira, Matthew Clark, Liam Sharp, Greg Rucka
5.0
This was amazing.
Where's Batman really didn't need a "rebirth" at all, WW fits an interesting place in that she equally did and didn't. In terms of the New 52 overall, I would say no because of Azzarello's and Chiang's fantastic run, which like Batman was one of the best parts of the N52. That said, when they left and the Finch's took over...man did she need a rebirth.
And this does it perfectly. I've never read Rucka's previous run on WW, but this makes me need to as soon as possible. I love everything this does and how reflective it is. It really comments on her history and how muddled it is at times and her search for the truth--something so important to her. I love the artist change as well, visually showing the new status quo--how she's searching for her true history, putting aside what has come before and ushering in a new, amazing creative team.
This made me so incredibly excited for Sharp and Rucka's run for the modern-day story.
