Wonder Woman, Volume 2: Guts by Matthew Wilson, Jared K. Fletcher, Cliff Chiang, Kano, Tony Akins, Brian Azzarello, Dan Green
2.0
More of the same from Volume 1, except what was new is no longer novel. This story is already starting to feel like "well, we created this world and these characters and conventions, now we're stuck with them so...." It's interesting to see the fresh portrayals of the gods, but some are hits and some feel try-hard. It's jarring to hear Zeus and Hades referred to as Heaven and Hell.
One thing that stood out very positively to me was the characterization of Diana. Her tone was appealing to me, though I agree with some complaints that her emotions seem a little too reserved given the circumstances she's dealing with. I particularly enjoyed her speech patterns. She's slightly formal, but not stiff. She has a tendency to take what others say to her and slightly spin it around and repeat it back, which comes across as her demonstrating careful engagement with everyone she speaks to. Overall I really liked Diana as a character, and that's why I might come back for Volume 3 at some point, though the stories and art aren't making me that eager about it.
