Wonder Woman: Love and Murder by Jodi Picoult
2.0
Umm....so, probably the best thing about this particular graphic novel was the explanation by Jodi Picoult at the beginning. She said DC approached her to write a Wonder Woman graphic novel and she couldn't turn it down. And I get that. You don't turn down a chance to do WW!!
Was this story great?? Not really. It felt disconnected, like she was trying to cram in as much stuff as possible as well as continue a story line that she didn't write in the first place AND she wouldn't be continuing after. That sounds like an interesting experiment on DC's part but I don't know if it actually works. Not having extensive knowledge of WW's backstory/the canon/etc., I can't say much about what goes forward or even how this fits in (how do people become WW experts? Do you start at the beginning?? How much does THAT cost?).
So, would I recommend this? Sure. I picked it out because it was one of 2 WW graphic novels/comic collections at the public library and that's the only way I'm going to experience graphic novel/comic collections because I don't want to spend a bunch of money.
