Wonder Woman: The True Amazon by Jill Thompson
2.0
Conflicted, but I didn’t like it. I will say that I loved the beginning explanation of the origin story, I didn’t know the details of the amazon’s arrival on themyscira so I’m happy I was able to take that away! I’m veeeery picky when it comes to a few DC characters and how I like them to be written in stories, Superman and Wonder Woman being the main two (I’m not entirely sure why), and I just didn’t vibe with this version of Diana at all. I knew going in that this story was going to different, but it just wasn’t my vibe. The art is incredible in some panels but if I’m being completely honest I didn’t love it overall. I appreciate the amount of time this type of artwork must take though omg!
The last thing I really wanted to mention was the weird wlw plot line. I appreciate seeing Diana actually represented as queer (because of course she RARELY is and writers love to conveniently “forget” about it), but I really don’t think it was implemented properly here. It honestly felt a bit disingenuous to me. I would LOVE to see this plot in another book though! It’s a really cute idea and I feel like it was a bit wasted here just because of how rushed the plot was
