The final collection of Rucka’s original Wonder Woman run is sadly bogged down in chunks of event crossovers, but Rucka’s writing shines through as best it can.

Again, incredible.
Unfortunately, though, it doesn’t stand alone. Infinite Crisis is 100% required reading, but taken together, this story is incredible.
The Blackest Night tie in was also fun. Less important to have read that as long as you know the premise, as it’s more a fun companion story than an essential tie in.

Greg Rucka's (first) WW run kept getting better and better. It's shame he wasn't allowed to finish it properly because people get upset every single time a writer does something interesting with a character.
The way Batman and Superman treat Diana after she does the thing makes me want to fight them. But the thing is, I think their behaviour was supposed to be challenged and explored if Rucka was allowed to write that story. Instead we got Diana being constantly judged for doing what was necessary á la Infinite Crisis (which I like on the whole but Diana's treatment is a big gripe I have with that book).
Also the way reactions to this parallel the reactions to Clark's decision at the end of Man of Steel...is just a lot. In some ways, comics fans are the worst enemies of comics properties. As well as higher ups who make hasty and bad decisions based on backlash.
Anyways, please read this run, it's great.
