Wonder Woman: Down to Earth by Drew Edward Johnson, Eduardo Risso, Brian Stelfreeze, Stuart Immonen, Steve Rude, Ray Snyder, Eric Shanower, Greg Rucka
5.0
So a few years back, I spent a good deal of time going through all of the modern Wonder Woman trades, starting with the Rucka ones. Of course, who forgot to grab the very first volume? Yep, this guy.
So going back to the beginning was interesting for me if only because I survived some of the lowest lows as well as the way she's been reconfigured essentially three different ways (so far that I've read) in the New 52. The Rucka Wonder Woman is confident without being a caricature, is multifaceted in a way that doesn't come through in a lot of the modern tales, and makes me remember why I became so interested in the character to begin with.
Overall, glad I went back to this one. It was a nice reminder, even if it might have kind of ruined current stories for me.
