A review by finalefile
Wonder Woman, Vol. 2: Year One by Greg Rucka
4.0
This is the first superhero comic I've read, and it was a great introduction to the genre! I recently saw the new Wonder Woman movie, and I assumed that this would tell the same story - I was wrong about that (the comic takes place in the modern day, instead of World War I), but it was still a great story! With Diana and Barbara Ann, there are two strong, developed female characters in this volume, with many more (Etta and all the Amazons) on the sidelines.
My main complaints are that there were some sections that flipped too quickly between different speakers and scenes, which made it a bit confusing, and the fight scenes were nowhere as developed as they were in the movie. But still, a strong 4 stars! And Diana is gorgeous in this rendition. Now I have to figure out what to read next in this unfamiliar genre...
