Really like this ‘new’ Wonder Woman. In this issue of the arc we are seeing a more grown up Wonder Woman than the teen-ager she appeared to be in the first 2 parts of the arc. JMS has been building up the mythology around Diana in a slow manner using the Greek mythos. JMS has found one of the few easy ways to tell a good Wonder Woman story, which is to start from scratch. Take the original product and update all the parts while sticking to the main theme, like an Elseworlds story.
The problems are the art and pacing. Some events seem to be drawn out for multiple pages just to fill space, which gives JMS a chance to write bad dialogue. Other times within 3 pages so much happened I had to flip back for a WTF moment. The meh art doesn’t help either. The book has the standard DC coloring which really does not flatter mediocre art.

Story: 3 - Good
Art: 2 - Average

  1. there were multiple artists on this… 🙁

  2. I don’t know, some of the art in this I liked better than Kramer’s stuff, and I don’t know how you’re saying that we’re seeing a more grown up WW, I think she’s voiced as a teenager in this issue especially than in piror issues.  Thought the pacing was well done actually too, and the black tights are starting to really do it for me I gotta say.
