Крута історія, шикарна графіка, зрозумілий сюжет, слідувати за яким легко - розумієш, що відбувається (а якщо ні, з часом розумієш).
Мені сподобалась і якість паперу, і як передані кольори, та й сам стиль на висоті. Однозначно вартує своїх коштів та хочется продовжувати знайомство з історією Діани. Для тих, хто чув про Діану, але не ма цільної картинки про неї в голові - це саме те, що потрібно

Це була цікава історія.
Мені не сподобалися вставки від іншого художника, не Ліама Шарпа. Загалом комікс цікавий, знайомить з історією Диво жінки, її пригод, переживань, надій та розчарувань.
Досить мало Супермена та Бетмена. Ліга справедливості згадується лише трішки. Проте багато особистих ворогів та друзів Діани. Показаний її світ, що складається з жінок: друзі, вороги, найманки, коханки. І Стів Тревор, якого періодично роздягають та рятують, перевертаючи класичний троп про дамочку в біді.
Прекрасна історія, дуже сподобалося. І сюжет був логічний, і малюнок прекрасний. Ліам Шарп просто неймовірно зображує Діану, її оточення, світ.

Spending the holiday weekend re-reading the Greg Rucka Rebirth run.
I had been a faithful (read: completist) reader of Wonder Woman throughout my life, until issue #601. The various artistic, writing, and editorial changes that followed made the character unrecognizable to me, to the extent that I not only stopped reading the title, I gave up on comics altogether.
When Rebirth was announced with Greg Rucka back on the title, I dared to hope I might enjoy the comic again (I grew to love his first run on WW).
Reading it again this weekend, I am astounded by how well it was written (& rendered by Liam Sharp, Bilquis Evely, and of course Nicola Scott). Rucka did something I didn’t think possible: he reassembled parts of canon since his last run, reinventing characters & situations (some of his own too), and crafting a new narrative for Diana. She was again a beacon of light, hope & truth. Even the darkest parts of the story were a joy to read.
Not since Phil Jimenez had a writer took the convoluted history of Diana and made it into something understandable & enjoyable.

Can barely remember it. Was trying to get back into comics through the Comixology app. Had tried during the new 52 reboot (which I found terribly confusing, the series' were set in different time periods). I think the key (for us elders) is to pick one title, read the series, possibly reading a few others if your favourite character gets caught in a crossover, but trying to keep up with all the series at once, especially after the fact, made for an uncomfortable reading experience.
(Note: I'm a writer, so I suffer when I offer fewer than five stars. But these aren't ratings of quality, they're a subjective account of how much I liked the book: 5* = an unalloyed pleasure from start to finish, 4* = enjoyed it, 3* = readable but not thrilling, 2* = disappointing, and 1* = hated it.)

The only thing wrong with this is that it means this is the last Greg Rucka’s written on Wonder Woman.
(And I wish Nicola Scott had been one of the main artists)

I love the complexity that is Wonder Woman and this collected edition really showcases that especially when collected in order the way this volume, like the last, was presented.
There's a lot going on, to explain and re-create the mythos behind WW but more than that Rucka really went and gave a lot of characters depth and some much needed humanization which shows in this volume in a way that had I read them by single issues I might have missed.
Artwork is still fantastic to look at and gush over and in some panels takes center stage the way the words couldn't and in others enhances the wording and bridges them together to allow a reader to really see and read it.
