pickThis brutal, dystopia story follows Wonder Woman after she wakes from a cryogenic sleep to a barren Earth. As she tries to put together the pieces of her memory, she struggles with her torn allegiance to humans and her sisters. Great story well written, with stunning art that reminds me of Paul Pope.
so-soI thought I'd reread this since I liked the *idea* of Cassandra Cain. I feel her Batgirl design is unsexualised and batlike in a pretty neat way, but I don't love a lot of the art in this one, and it's hard to fully follow without context.
Page one and I am already loving the art in this graphic novel!
pickThe characters are a bit underdeveloped, but the scale is absolutely massive. I hope De Connick gets the chance to complete her saga, as this volume includes only three of the proposed nine chapters in the story.
Diana's mother, Hippolyta, gets an all-new, fierce origin story in Wonder Woman: Historia.
Wonder Woman: Historia is a feminist Greek epic about the origin of the Amazons. The story is incredibly ambitious, and the art is gorgeous.
pickIncredible. Up there with Mister Miracle as a peak example of what the superhero graphic novel is capable of. Parts feel like a political thriller, parts like a sci-fi epic, parts like a military/veteran story, and there's also these classic adventure tales vibes working as a foil against the darker subject matter. 1/?
pickThis book, y'all! This is war between the gods and the foundation of the Amazons. And it is freaking gorgeous and unbelievably detailed. I don't typically care for superhero comics but this isn't that. Trust Kelly Sue DeConnick to be absolutely epic. Just read it, okay?
