A dissapointing end, really. First there's there whole bit where Diana starts out comatose and remains that why. She's the superhero here, and yet this isn't her storyline for a while. It might have been interesting if something more were going on her head, if she were 'fighting' through the lies that have been implanted in her head or something like that, but I just had to wonder why they did this.
And the metaphorical power that was suggested in the first half of this storyline just never got capitalized on, and it became a much more straightforward story about Wonder Woman.

This was a good conclusion. This picks up pretty much where volume 1 left off. I liked the first volume but didn't love it. Wonder Woman is in the loony bin and trying to figure out the truth. When her friends come to rescue her it all begins to make sense. Sacrifices, lies, and fights all begin to erupt in this storyline to conclude Greg's run.
Good: The art is still solid though a little dark for my taste. Still good though. The the ending to the arc was a lot better than the start and got me invested. The ending was sad but the very ending was really nice, and Diana getting laid was long overdo. Girl needs to get her freak on after unleashing all her frustration beating down baddies.
Bad: The art can be really bad at times. The blocking bullet scene comes to mind. Also the beginning is a drag and not all that interesting till they go to free the princess. Also not a good jump on point, you have to read the first volume or be very very confused.
Overall this was a solid finish. Not my favorite WW storyline but a decent one none the less. Will say pick it up for WW fans for sure, I just didn't love it like year one storyline (On to volume 4!)

Read this review and more on my blog, uncovered-books.
I received a free copy of Wonder Woman Volume 3: The Truth from DC Comics in exchange for my honest opinion.
For those of you who have been struggling with what is going on in Wonder Woman’s series in Rebirth, The Truth will clear up everything that has happened (well at least it did for me).
The story made both the first and second volumes make a lot more sense, but at the same time it was not necessary to have read either of them. In Volume 1: The Lies, Wonder Woman is confused as to who she really is and this volumes continues on that same path of her trying to find out who she really is. Yes other stuff happens but Wonder Woman’s continuing quest to find out why she is remembering stuff that did not occur and forgetting stuff that happened is the driving force of every event that occurs. We also see Diana having to make hard sacrifices that really helped develop her character in ways that I was not expecting.
The art style was still hit-and-miss for me. At times, it seemed to perfectly capture what was going on during a scene, then at other times it just did not seem to work. Again, it seemed to be the facial expressions that took me out of the story, but luckily the plot sure made up for this.

This review is for Vols. 1 - 3:
I have never read a superhero comic book/graphic novel before venturing into the Wonder Woman Rebirth series. I enjoy the uniqueness of Japanese manga and the storylines of graphic novels, and even as a kids I loved the Archie & Gang comics, but these artistic retellings are within a class of their own. With the mega DC Comics and Marvel multiplex movie hits to hit the cinemas over the last decade, superheroes have grown from a teenage boy staple to a multigenerational reading sensation. I have jumped on the bandwagon.
I have seen all the movies multiple times and loved most of them, but the one character which resonated with me is Wonder Woman. Yes, I did watch the TV series as a teen, but the character of today was not the woman of then. Present day Wonder Woman in both the movies and these comic books is a strong woman inside and out, who loves but doesn’t depend on a man, and cares for everyone with high standards and integrity. She is a woman I aspire to be.
The comic books tells Diana’s story as well as the stories of the people involved in her lives. Even though the plot is conveyed through pictures and limited words, the characters are beginning to have depth. I am caring for them and want to know more of their stories. As I read them I try to remember that each volume is part of a series as with many books we read today and I look forward to reading more. I dare you to pick one of these up or any superhero comic book and give it a try. You may be surprised.

Didn’t enjoy seeing Wonder Woman so incapacitated in the begin but, once she was back in action, it was a really good story.
Another solid volume of Wonder Woman from Greg Rucka. It starts slow, but delivers in the 2nd half.

The truth of you has never changed, Diana. Even the gods themselves could not take that from you.
i loooved this scene in particular. the reflection!!! her lasso!!! aaaaaaaaaaa
anyway, this was yet another good wonder woman read ! this entire journey with diana's truth and what it means to her has left me with a better understanding of diana as a person—she's just as scared, and just as hopeful as the rest of us. i mean, her entire thing is abt hope! and i love her for it!! in this volume specifically tho u get to see her when she forgets that, when she forgets her symbol as the truth, as hope. it was rlly cool following her thru it!! :)

The every-other-issue thing with this run make it sloppy and hard to follow. I didn't like this.
