    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8805 issues.

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    WW, where to begin?

    Alright, I don't want to go too far back, but enough to really get a feel of the character pre-52. I've always shied away from WW because of the reviews and, honestly, it didn't seem that interesting. It's the one major DC character I never fully tried out. I've read all of Azzarello's run in the new 52 so far and I'm loving it. I'm thinking about picking up Odyssey, but leading up to that where do I start and what other books/trades are worth picking up for the quintessential WW experience.

    Thanks all.

    One of my favorite WW stories is actually JLA: A League of One. Why it was a JLA book, I don't know, because it's all Wonder Woman. Excellent story.

    Never read any of WW's older stories. Neither do I see a point to. Im satisfied with the current WW.

    I really liked Rucka's run on her. Idk how far back you're willing to go, his run was before all the Infinite Crisis stuff happened. Specifically the volume when she fights Medusa is great.

    @thatfunnybookguy: The Medusa fight was a good one.  I would suggest the following from volume 2:  issues 1-16, 90-100, 200-219.  All of volume three is pretty good.

    Agreed. Wonder Woman The Hiketeia was also pretty good!

    Lack of fun money is the issue right now. When I get to the Hiketeia, it will likely be at a library.

    <shrugs> It happens. It'll work out. In the meantime, there's Comic Vine, the library, unread back issues in my collection. It's all good.

    Yes obviously I'm sick, because I used a picture depicting Wonder Woman touching her breast, as a joke.......get off your high horse.

    Touching her breast for BREAST CANCER! is NOTHING to joke about. (God forbid) For all we know, someone you care about may already have it and not know it, and you're here thinking it as a joke.

    I'm not sure if you're being coy or playing dumb, but the joke was not implicit of breast cancer, rather, the fact that Wonder Woman is considered a sex symbol among comic fans. Again; get off your high horse.
