3.0

Re-review:

So I read these as single issues. Not knowing the graphic novels would be skipping every other issue. So this is just current time WW. Which still ain't bad but not a 4 star. Close to a 3, maybe 3.5 by the end. I still enjoyed the end result of current time WW. Especially the final two issues. We get some answers on Steve X Diana, and also the final moment in the last issue is like "Oh shit" moment we've been waiting for.

I'ma keep what I said below but I'm about to do my review of Year One, and let me tell you something, you won't wanna miss it. This one though is fun and still gets a 3-3.5 out of 5.

Whoa, who knew I'd love this one so much?

So the first issue reads in current time. Something isn't right, Diana goes deep into the forest to find her old "friend" while Steve and his buddies get kidnapped trying to find WW. It's pretty basic stuff, and the first issue was pretty but didn't love it.

Then we get into issue 2. Year one for Diana, and it's amazing! So then the next few issues bounce from Year one to modern. It's great, because the current stuff gets better and better (issue 3 being the best current issue so far) while the Year One stuff is just wonderful every issue.

Watching our awesome Amazon learn about the world, her own, and then the one we live in is great. She's wide eye, happy, and full of joy and happiness. Where's the current storyline is obviously darker, and she's on a mission, and not looking nearly as happy as she once was.

I really enjoyed seeing the two stories play out next to each other. I can't wait to jump into volume 2 and this is the first time I signed on to read a Wonder Woman series. I may have to go back and read the New52 run too and Greg's old WW run after this.
