A review by theartolater
Wonder Woman: Love and Murder by Jodi Picoult
2.0
This is the point where I realize that the series really did need a reboot. I'm kind of anticipating getting up to date on this to see where they head, but this is some severe water treading right here.
I think this and the previous trade kind of get to the bottom of why Wonder Woman is perceived as a "difficult" character to write for. Worse, I can see quite clearly where Picoult was going with this (and I was also very impressed with her writing on a whole), but could see that she started out as someone who was somewhat painted into a corner and couldn't really get out. That a review I read of the next trade said that we're in a really bad stretch, well...
Much of my judgement at this point might be clouded as to how much I enjoyed pre-Infinite Crisis Wonder Woman. This one, I dunno - so much confliction, too much confusion.
