Wonder Woman, Vol. 2: Year One by Greg Rucka
4.0
Read this review and more on my blog, uncovered-books.
I received a free copy of Wonder Woman Volume 2: Year One from DC Comics in exchange for my honest opinion.
The thing that I have noticed with comic book is that either the storyline is amazing, or the art work. Hardly ever do they manage to both be amazing. Unfortunately Wonder Woman Volume 2: Year One suffered this as well.
Lets start with the good, the storyline. I have never read of Wonder Woman’s origin, so I found it very interesting to see how she decided to come to the human world and first interacted wiht us. Their is an overlying storyline about Sear, a terrorist organisation who’s motivations have been left unclear. Whilst this Sear group are a driving factor in how events occur, I found them to be secondary to seeing how Wonder Woman becomes Wonder Woman.
I have said it before and I will say it again, if you are unable to tell what a character is trying to say by just their face then you are doing something wrong. This is my main gripe with Wonder Woman Volume 2: Year One. Majority of the art work was amazing, it showcased Themyscria beautifully; but once again the facial expression took me out of everything. Maybe I am just very fussy about this, but the facial expressions never seemed right. Not being an artist, I cannot say what it was that bothered me but this would have easily been a 5 star read if the facial expressions worked. I hope that they are fixed for the next volume.
A good storyline if you want to understand Wonder Woman’s origin story.
