Summary
The entire run of writer Brian Azzarello （100 BULLETS） and artist Cliff Chiang's （PAPER GIRLS） bold new imagining of one of comics' most iconic characters is now collected in its entirety in his giant-size omnibus edition！
Raised as a daughter by the Queen of the Amazons， the warrior princess called Diana is different from the rest of 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。 But Diana is different than everyone else， just not for the reasons everyone thinks。
It's because she's the daughter of Zeus。
With a new cadre of brothers and sisters as allies and enemies， Wonder Woman's world is rocked to its core when her eldest brother， the First Born， was freed from his slumber。 Her newfound family is in ruins and her friends scattered， she must turn to Orion and the New Gods of New Genesis to save herself， her newborn brother Zeke and his mother Zola from the First Born's wrath。
Collects Wonder Woman #0-35， 23。1 and a story from Secret Origins #6

This took me longer than I thought it would and is only the second omnibus I've ever read but I had some time and decided to make a day out of it and finished it off。 As someone who knows nothing about WW besides the movie- this was a great jumping on point。 I knew DC had the rebirth and New 52 eras which both act as soft reboots for their character lineups and that's why I chose this one。 （That and the entire run is collected in one place） This character and this run were ones I wanted to check This took me longer than I thought it would and is only the second omnibus I've ever read but I had some time and decided to make a day out of it and finished it off。 As someone who knows nothing about WW besides the movie- this was a great jumping on point。 I knew DC had the rebirth and New 52 eras which both act as soft reboots for their character lineups and that's why I chose this one。 （That and the entire run is collected in one place） This character and this run were ones I wanted to check out for a long time and I gotta say， this met and surpassed my expectations。 As someone who had a brief but intense interest in Greek mythology in high school， it's cool that this plays more into Diana's （WW） mythological background and you don't need to know much about WW or her rogues gallery as this is entirely centered around Diana and a prophecy affecting the entire pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses。 I love the twists and turns， all the characters and their motivations; you can never tell where the story is gonna go， what's gonna happen， who to trust。 I love that the single issue side-story they included actually ties into the main storyline。 If you have any interest in Wonder Woman as a character and have been wanting to jump in I'd definitely recommend this。 I can't say it's the best jumping on point as it's the only WW story I've read， but it is a damn good one！ 。。。more

A bold interpretation of wonder woman from brian azzarello I really enjoy his writing and use of wordplay that always has multiple layers。 I’m a big fan of 100 bullets and loveless so was interested to see how he would deal with mythology。 Having read some greg rucka and Gail Simone Wonder Woman this was a significantly different version of the character。 It’s a testament to the character that she can have so many fascinating interpretations。 There is little of the peacemaker or diplomat。 It sta A bold interpretation of wonder woman from brian azzarello I really enjoy his writing and use of wordplay that always has multiple layers。 I’m a big fan of 100 bullets and loveless so was interested to see how he would deal with mythology。 Having read some greg rucka and Gail Simone Wonder Woman this was a significantly different version of the character。 It’s a testament to the character that she can have so many fascinating interpretations。 There is little of the peacemaker or diplomat。 It starts as a mission of protection but then becomes a tale of revenge。 Particular highlights include: the jealousy of hera regarding Zeus and his affairs， the lie about Diana’s clay origin and her being the literal daughter of Zeus after an affair with hippolyta （the lie used to protect young Diana from Hera） ， the interpretation of lord Poseidon as a giant sea monster， the physical embodiment of war looking like the author， the gods being slightly more grounded and working subtly in the real world rather than bouncing around on clouds or in another realm full of pillars of stone observing， the Amazons going on pirate raids to get pregnant and then discarding all the male babies， Some wonderfully stylised art from cliff chiang and tony akins with fantastic colours from matthew wilson and nick filardi 。。。more

THIS WAS EPIC！I loved how this came about， it starts with Diana meeting this girl named Zola and her adventures take her to wild places in the Greekosphere of DCU。 We meet all the Olympian gods and have interesting enemies for Diana and allies and also the arc with Hera， Hades and then Poseidon is cool。 Then her trying to protect Zola and her son Zeke， finding about her true origins and facing off against one of her biggest threats in FIRST BORN！ We see his history and his motivation is so well THIS WAS EPIC！I loved how this came about， it starts with Diana meeting this girl named Zola and her adventures take her to wild places in the Greekosphere of DCU。 We meet all the Olympian gods and have interesting enemies for Diana and allies and also the arc with Hera， Hades and then Poseidon is cool。 Then her trying to protect Zola and her son Zeke， finding about her true origins and facing off against one of her biggest threats in FIRST BORN！ We see his history and his motivation is so well done and a crisis unlike anything the Olympians have faced and so its upto Diana， God of War and Queen of Amazons to defeat him and win。 Will she be able to protect Zola and her son Zeke？ What other secrets do they hide？ Plus what revelations will change her forever？This was a fantastic volume and like is very long but the art and the writing is so good that it makes you love it。 I like the simple writing structure of Azarello and the art is the champion here， the ladies look so gorgeous here and in particular the action scenes are so easy on the eyes and its enabled by the great colorist。 Plus its one big story broken into parts and the big bad First born earns the final fight and its amazing。 Diana protects her mate Zola and its one of the best friendships ever。 Loved it throughout。 Probably one of my fav Omnibus I have read this year！ Its a must read for sure for fans of WW。P。S。 there is interesting interpretations of Apollo， Strife and Artemis here。 Really well done。 。。。more

The contentious but immensely popular New 52 reboot for DC Comics introduced huge changes for many characters。 Wonder Woman was no different and the changes to her character’s origin sparked a lot of controversy。 I for one loved the idea， and it opened the way for tons of creativity from writer Brian Azzarello。 Gone is the silly， dated idea that Diana was molded out of a blessed piece of clay on a beach on Themiscyra。 In this story， Diana discovers that she’s a bastard child born of an affai The contentious but immensely popular New 52 reboot for DC Comics introduced huge changes for many characters。 Wonder Woman was no different and the changes to her character’s origin sparked a lot of controversy。 I for one loved the idea， and it opened the way for tons of creativity from writer Brian Azzarello。 Gone is the silly， dated idea that Diana was molded out of a blessed piece of clay on a beach on Themiscyra。 In this story， Diana discovers that she’s a bastard child born of an affair between Zeus and the Amazon queen Hippolyta， one of many children that Zeus has fathered。 Now she finds herself charged with protecting a young woman and her infant baby， the latest of Zeus's children。 At the same time， she's embroiled in the many feuds between the Gods for the throne of Olympus， all while the prophesied First Born son of Zeus returns to take bloody revenge and make his brutal play for the control of the heavens。 Like I said， because of the reboot， Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang have the freedom to do what they want here and let their creativity fly。 The highlights of the book are all of the clever characterizations and character designs of the various Greek Gods， from Hades， to Apollo， to Artemis。 Although Greg Rucka did something similar in his first Wonder Woman run， the characters here are all memorable， and lends the book a singular air that sets it apart from any other Wonder Woman series。 While ultimately， the book doesn't quite hold up to its promise， the story is steeped in a revisionist version of Greek mythology， very original， and the book is all the better for it。 。。。more

I didn't like the direction they took Wonder Woman and her amazon sisters。But the art and story was good and so were the villains。 I didn't like the direction they took Wonder Woman and her amazon sisters。But the art and story was good and so were the villains。 。。。more

Brian Azzarello is probably best known for his wise-cracking， street smart noir books， like 100 Bullets and Joker， so Wonder Woman seemed like a truly odd choice for him。 But damn， does it work。Azzarello and Chiang takes Diana's story to places its never been before， and makes her the centre of a modern day mythology that feels unique in a market flooded with mythology-based fiction。 As many reviewers have stated， this does not connect much to previous WW work， or the rest of the DC Universe。 I' Brian Azzarello is probably best known for his wise-cracking， street smart noir books， like 100 Bullets and Joker， so Wonder Woman seemed like a truly odd choice for him。 But damn， does it work。Azzarello and Chiang takes Diana's story to places its never been before， and makes her the centre of a modern day mythology that feels unique in a market flooded with mythology-based fiction。 As many reviewers have stated， this does not connect much to previous WW work， or the rest of the DC Universe。 I've read a few reviews saying this feels more like an Elseworlds tale than an ongoing DC book。But that's exactly why this is so great。 It's a book anyone can jump into and get lost in。 There are a few familiar faces along the way， but never ones you truly need to know to appreciate the story or see its innovative approach。This isn't Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns or Alan Moore's Swamp Thing。 This isn't a reimagining that changes the face of comics。 But it is a fun ride， and it's one that's well worth the journey。 。。。more

This is it。 This， for me is peak Wonder Woman。 This is the best and freshest feeling run from what I consider to be the best creative team。 Diana has never been more human and relatable （which is ironic considering all that is happening）I love this run and it is the first one I recommend to anybody interested in reading Wonder Woman （well， this and the stuff by Gail Simone）。
