Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Blood (The New 52)
Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Blood (The New 52) | Brian Azzarello
39 posts | 44 read | 16 to read
As a part of the acclaimed DC Comics-The New 52 event of September 2011, 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!

I‘ve been wanting to get a Wonder Woman tattoo and a literary tattoo for a long time. This image has me playing with the idea of blending the two into one tattoo 🤩 Tagged is the first Wonder Woman comic @GrizzVarela bought me. 100+ pages and I read it in one sitting.

LiteraryinLawrence That would be such a cool tattoo! 2y

A really interesting plotline, and some pretty interesting characters, but the art wasn't as good as a lot of the other Wonder Woman books I've read recently but that's just personal taste.

At first I wasn‘t sure of where this was going according to Diana. As it follows Zola having Zeus‘s child. He storyline is so clear in where it‘s going. The art is a bit old school looking, and I like that better then a lot of the “new modern” look. I look forward to finding where the story goes with Poseidon and Hades now in the fray. #WonderWomanBlood

Interesting look at him here. Poseidon; Without a king, the queen has nothing. Diana; Nothing... as in nothing to loose. I would think you might find a woman in that position formidable. #WonderWomanBlood

Dannggg. This is an interesting new take. It‘s ties in to this storyline very nicely. That Hippolyta has an affair with Zeus - which became a conspiracy that Diana was created by clay. In order to protect her from Heras wrath. which Hera now knows thanks to Strife coming around. So now we throw in an existential crisis for her. Glad this here didn‘t change - even if astride seems to be trying to separate Diana from the Amazons. #WonderWomanBlood

Alright. New comic, new story, new origin to Wonder Woman. She is summed to protect her, Zola, from the wrath of Hera when she learns she slept with Zeus. Interesting take on old mythology of Hera sealing revenge of the woman her husband sleeps with. The almost nudity of everyone is odd, I must say. But I really liking it so far. #WonderWomanBlood

One of my best friends is moving to Liverpool next month (the traitor), so he asked if I wanted any of his books since he wasn't taking them... stupid question 😅
I have graphic novels or days now 😀 If I get through my latest picks for my #TBRChallenge I'll be getting a start on some of these methinks 😊

shanaqui Ahhh, Civil War Captain America/Iron Man is heartbreaking, IIRC! Or... I might be thinking of Civil War Iron Man -- whichever one has Tony's confession to [spoiler]'s dead body.

I really need to try more Wonder Woman!

It‘s almost hour 10 for the readathon, but I‘m just now getting up and started. At least I‘m well-rested and ready to beat some records! Kicking it off small to push my motivation throughout the day! #24in48 @24in48

A very different take on Wonder Woman, particularly Princess Diana‘s origin story. I love the art in this series. It was cool meeting all the pantheon characters. A bit of a horror/gory bent too.

readordierachel Loved Azzarello's Wonder Woman run! It got better and better as it went on, too. 5y

Ehhhh, not my favorite. The art and the story all feel really dated, rather than classic. However, this does fulfill a #booked2018 category: Flower or Sword on cover!

Cinfhen Nice use of sword 🗡 🙌🏻💕 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Some of the WW stories are just so stereotypical. It‘s frustrating! 6y

It's probably just because it's been a long week with very little sleep, but I had to force myself to finish this. I doubt I'll read/finish anything else tonight, so I'll do my June summary soon.

queerbookreader Please sleep and take care of yourself 💚 if at any point in time you would like convincing to give the second volume a shot, let me know. I gotcha back 💁🏻 7y
DGRachel @lemonlime799 I already have Vol 2 & 3 downloaded from Hoopla. I'll just save them for a day when my head isn't screaming. 😉 Thank you for the kind thoughts. {hugs} 7y

Finally wrestled this comic back from the 4yo and that may not look very pretty but it's a pretty tasty chocolate banana bread.

There seem to be some good, strong female lead comics coming out recently - which doesn't bode well for my wallet, to be honest. This is a sort of origin story, we find out where WW really 'originates' from. Very exciting!! The cover art is a little misleading (i.e. Not as good as the art work inside), so don't let this deter you from reading it!

charl08 Have you read these ones? I'm a fan. 7y
Clare_Riley @charl08 No I haven't! But it's my birthday soon, so I could perhaps add them to the (ever increasing) list!😆 Thanks for the recommendation 😊 7y

OFF TO SEE WW I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you all are inspired by the film and want to check out some of her comics, I recommend either starting with her New 52 era series (this one) or her most recent series in the Rebirth era (current DC comic era). Tagged in comments. ILL LET U ALL KNOW HOW IT IS WHEN I GET OUT, SPOILERS WILL BE MARKED

Ok, so Captain Marvel was really good (I finished, and it was a 'Pick' for me!), so I'm preparing for the weekend when I go to watch the new Wonder Woman film with my son for his birthday! Obviously thorough research is VERY important!

Just saw the movie and happy to report that: it. was. awesome. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did, especially after the garbage fire that was Dawn of Justice. It felt so good to see Wonder Woman up there just KICKING ASS and doing the saving, never being a damsel. Makes me want to go on a Wonder Woman comics bender now.

vivastory So happy to hear this. Honestly the last great dc movie imho were Nolan's Batman films. I felt like they should have been closer to the Netflix adaptations. Going to see this next weekend 7y
Marla I'm going tomorrow! Can't wait! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Thrilled to hear the movie doesn't suck. I was worried! Hoopla has a lot of WW comics in conjunction with the movie release. 7y

readordierachel @vivastory I didn't *hate* Man of Steel, but I agree that Nolan's Batman films were in a different league. This one doesn't have the feel of those, it feels more like a traditional super hero movie, but done really well. 7y

This was good! It wasn't super insightful or thoughtful, but I have a soft spot for anything having to do with badass women. I've wanted to BE Wonder Woman since I was a little kid.

BestOfFates @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Lindseyastin Have you guys read Renae De Liz's Wonder Woman origin story? It's my favorite. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BestOfFates Anothee one to add to the list @NovelGirl82 and @lemonlime799 just told me about this one after I was reading The Rebirth series. I'll definitely check out The Legend of series too now, it looks like it might be the only one with a female writer so that might make a nice perspective. (edited) 7y
Lindseyastin @BestOfFates I def need to check that one out, stat! 7y
iread2much If you get a chance, you should totally read Wonder Woman the Hiketeia; it is one of my favorite comic books and I think it's one of the best Wonder Woman comics period. 7y

Early birthday gift from my wife! This statue is based on Cliff Chiang's Wonder Woman art from the New 52 series written by Brian Azzarello. Still my favourite take on the character, both in story and in design.

I know the #Readathon is over (😢) but since I still have plenty of great books that I didn't get to even crack open--due to life, I've just keep going today after sleeping in reaaally late, lol.😪....🤓

I hope everyone is having a great recovery day! Can't wait till the April one!!🙆💃
