Wonder Woman: Gods and Mortals by George Pérez
4.0
George Pérez's Wonder Woman fucking slaps. The reimagining of her origins, the reboot of her story, and the art stay true to her foundation and the essential core of Wonder Woman's message and character. There was even a dad joke about Diana speaking Greek!
Plus, I loved how they looked beaten up after these characters go through a life-or-death battle. Wonder Woman had a zillion snake bites all over her, and they all looked like shit.
-1 star due to the published in 1987 of it all. Perhaps the most famous misstep of Pérez's run is the fatphobia and fat shaming of Etta Candy. (Etta Candy is one of the most fantastic sidekick characters ever created.) Diana isn't around Etta for more than a day before her thought bubbles have her fat shaming Etta.
I also noticed some anti-Black racism, and there were a few moments of misogynistic violence (called out as such by the text) that perhaps weren't necessary.
