    Volume 1: Blood last edited by downinthesewer on 12/17/23 06:08AM View full history

    The first six issues of the critically acclaimed new WONDER WOMAN series are collected in hardcover! Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons, has kept a secret from her daughter all her life – and when Wonder Woman learns who her father is, her life will shatter like brittle clay. The only one more shocked than Diana by this revelation? Bloodthirsty Hera – so why is her sinister daughter, Strife, so eager for the truth to be told? Superstar writer Brian Azzarello creates a new direction for one of DC's best-known heroes, with spectacular art by Cliff Chiang and Tony Akins!

    Back Blurb

    Wonder Woman is a woman apart. Raised as a daughter by the Queen of the Amazons, the warrior princess Diana is different from her countrywomen. They've all heard the legend of how she was formed from clay to give the childless Queen the daughter she dreamed of --- and they treat her like an outsider and outcast because of it, no matter how hard she fights for justice as a superhero in the outside world.

    But far from the Amazon's Paradise Island, the gods of Olympus are playing their own dark games. The prodigal sun Apollo is making his move for Father Zeus' vacant throne, and both vengeful gods and innocent humans are caught in the crossfire.

    And at the beating, bloody heat of the conflict? Wonder Woman, and a secret will shatter everything she thought she knew. Wonder Woman is about to learn the truth about her origin. And when she does, blood will run...

    Experience a bold new beginning for an iconic character in WONDER WOMAN: BLOOD, one of the most acclaimed comics of the year, from writer BRIAN AZZARELLO (JOKER, 100 BULLETS) and artist CLIFF CHIANG (NEIL YOUNG'S GREENDALE, ZATANNA). Collects Wonder Woman #1-6.

    This will be a review for the whole hard cover.Spoilers!!Issue 1The GoodThe first issue of this trade sets things up with the introduction of Apollo and Hermes and Zola. This issue also sets the tone for the whole series really well showing it will be dark and a horror comic. One of the things that really pulled me in for this whole series is the introduction of Greek Gods and this issue does have some of them in not a lot of them but some of them and what you see of them is not very nice they c...

    The reinvention of Wonder Woman is no easy feat, though it has been attempted many times before. The inaugural arc has Diana knee deep in a family feud involving the gods in the Greek pantheon. Azzarello's writing really shines in his development of all the interpersonal conflicts. At times, it felt like I was watching a Godfather-esque crime drama with warring family members. The fact that millennia old characters can seem current and relevant is a testament to the crafting of the story. As fa...

She's quickly attacked and her supposed savior hands her a teleportation artifact, which lands her in the bedroom of Diana aka Wonder Woman. Diana chooses to help the girl in her situation, and in the process learns something about herself. -summary Wonder Woman really hasn't gotten the best treatment from DC before the reboot. She had went through hell with Will P...
