I really enjoyed this book. It was beautifully illustrated, promoted strong female friendship which are sorely lacking in a lot of comics I've read, and all out some serious toxic masculinity. Loved it

Mixed feelings. Issues 1 and 3 start a conspiracy story, while 2 delves into Wonder Woman's backstory. The illustrations in 1 and 2 are glorious. In 3, they alternated to various other artists which makes the visual tone vary widely. It's not bad, per-say, just obvious when the art style changes back and forth. For new readers, start with 2. Then read 1 and 3 which have lots of characters from WW's past. #dw2020reads
Per Reddit, in case anyone was as confused as I was about the odd numbered issues. 🤔🤔🤔💡 #themoreyouknow
This has been on my Hoopla wishlist forever. Why does it skip the even numbered issues? Is this only on Hoopla? Why?? #butwhy #hoopladontfailmenow
Y'all. I'm not super familiar with graphic novels, and I'm usually more of a Marvel girl than DC... but I needed to get this when I saw it at the library. I consumed it in a few hours (had to stop here and there for Mama duties 🤗). It was a great introduction to Wonder Woman. The illustrations are absolutely stunning. I can't wait to read the other volumes in this series when I can get my hands on them. 5🌟
I want to #TakeItAll when it comes to all the graphic novels in this series. I consumed this first one pretty quickly this afternoon. Will be going to the library for the other two tomorrow, even though I still have tons of other library books to read. #AdelesMayMashUp @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
Starting the Rucka Wonder Woman run, and just finished this yesterday:
I enjoyed this but felt like I was missing out on some important backstory or information. Maybe it‘s because I haven‘t read a ton in the DC universe or maybe that was how I was supposed to feel with the whole “Wonder Woman was deceived” thing...
Today I reviewed Wonder Woman Vol. 1 4🌟https://jilljemmett.com/2017/10/09/review-wonder-woman-volume-1-the-lies/ #bookblog #review
Awesome read! Loved all the references to pervious comics and the art work was fantastic
Love the art work!! #new52 #wonderwoman
I LOVED Wonder Woman the movie. It makes sense to read up on this amazing lady! This one was definitely different from the movie but I liked her story.
Didn't make the ultimate goal but read a lot longer than my first few Readathons! Best read: Passion of Dolssa. Bailed on two audiobooks and one print that weren't doing it for me. Until next time! #24in48
Another one finished for #24in48! I've read almost 10 1/2 hours so far, so my #halfsweet looks very doable.
After seeing a Wonder Woman movie I think it's time for a Wonder Woman comic
I love every individual element of this new Wonder Woman series, especially the meta writing and the art, but the whole package failed to wow me and I can't put my finger on why. I'll give it one more volume, though, in case I find my way into the story as it plays out.
Wonder Woman was epic now please excuse me while I go read everything Wonder Woman that I can get my hands on and fangirl like mad 😍

This is AMAZING!!! I just ordered Vol 2 and preordered Vol 3.
I liked the art (flat boots with no stilettos, yay!) and the basic storyline - 4 stars.
But there was a lot of ancillary information one just had to have to understand what exactly was going on - like what's up with the lady in charge? Who's this Cheetah person? - 3 stars.
Read for the Graphic Novel Book group at my store.
I need a kick start so when I saw this on Hoopla, I jumped. Greg Rucka and Wonder Woman?! Sign me up.
An interesting start to this series.... trying to take all the Wonder Woman stories that have come before and meld them together into one..... in volume one Wonder Woman tries to sort the truth from the lies....which, if any, of the stories that came before are her story, maybe they will all prove to be lies, leaving us with something completely new, maybe not, only time (and a few more volumes) will tell.
Wonder Woman has many memories...stories. There are stories of birth, of conquer, of social notoriety, etc...and some of the stories conflict. She doesn't know which ones to believe. In an effort to find her way home, she finds the Cheetah, Barbara Anne, both her former friend and nemesis. The women fight against an evil together to find their ways home. The volume ends on a cliffhanger but promises a straighter storyline in the future. #netgalley
Don't get me wrong, I do like Greg Rucka as a writer for Wonder Woman. (This sequence in particular would make William Moulton Marston smile). But why, oh why, couldn't DC have let Marguerite Bennett write Wonder Woman Rebirth?! Now that is a Wonder Woman comic I'd really want to read.
Does Olympus count as a #workplacesetting if the MC is Wonder Woman? This is what I'm reading today! #netgalley #feistyfeb
It will be interesting to see how this new series moves along. The artwork is great, and the artists have calmed down some of the “sluttyness” that is preveilet in almost any female superhero.
