When I was little girl I used to love Wonder Woman. I would twirl around real fast in my Wonder Woman Underoos to become her and then fly (jump off the sofa), and lasso evil villains (my siblings) with my golden lariat (My jumprope). A friend lent me some wonder woman graphic novels to read. I hadn't thought much about wonder woman since I was about 7 or 8, I'd say. I was skeptical that I would like them. I'm not a huge fan of DC style superheroes, but truly I loved her all over again.

I have so many conflicted feelings about this volume. There were a lot of things that I loved but there were also many things that made me feel uncomfortable.The first chapter was fantastic because it focused on all the women that Diana had befriended: Julia, Vanessa, Etta and Myndi. We got to know more about their characters and learn more about their opinions on Diana and how she changed their lives. The second chapter introduced Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva as the Cheetah. This chapter was the onl...

besides the whole "let's forgive the rapist because he can be a poor misguided soul" thing, this was interesting enough.

This second volume of George Perez's run introduces diana's well known villain cheetah. This issue was cool, the whole cheetah's creation and her first confrontation with diana was very well written. Diana after that battle goes back to her homeland but after that story took some weird turns, Zeus suddenly became horny?? so he wants diana's love but when diana refuses his bad intentions then he puts her into a long test which is challenge of the gods in nutshell. She goes into a strange cavern a...

It took me a lot longer to finish this volume, but now that I have I can't wait to read the next volume!So far I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the first two Wonder Woman volumes by George Perez. I also like how each volume is broken up into chapters. I also like how at the beginning of each volume there's a recap of what transpired in the previous volume so as to lead into the volume you're about to read. In the first chapter, it's mainly about the perspectives of the characters of Julia Kapat...

There is a lot of madness going around.

Another top-notch batch of issues fro George's masterful run. The only problem (and it is quite glaring) is a huge gap in the storytelling between the penultimate and last chapter. At the end of #13, WW is charged with killing the Manhunter that has impersonated Pan. Issue #14 begins with her coming back home, with captions saying that the Pan impostor was destroyed. The only inkling we have as to what happened is the small hints of what has been going on in the larger DC universe that have come...

Likewise first volume, some parts and cheesy dialogues in this second one not aged much well.But George Pérez is just at his best here, his artworks are real masterworks, and the "Time Passages" illustrate prose opening story was just amazing.I liked very much the storyline, the character development and the origin story of WW suit: why wearing the American flag if her powers and birthright have roots in Greek Mythology? Wein and Pérez give a good and surprising answer here and the depiction of

There's one fairly lengthy storyline here, as well as two individual issues that tie up loose ends left over from the first collection. The first issue was text-heavy, summing up the events of the previous trade and filling in some gaps. It seemed to refer to some events that happened elsewhere (JLA, maybe?). The second issue re-introduced the Cheetah. This kind of felt like a weak issue to me, but it did lead to Diana returning home for the rest of the trade. What happens to an Amazon who rejec...

As pumped as I am about the Wonder Woman movie coming up, I think I will always look at the first 14 issues of Perez's WW run as the perfect template for a Wonder Woman trilogy. With just some tweaks to modernize it and pad out the Cheetah story, you could have a really solid franchise here.Okay, enough fanboy speculation. On with the review. Again, Perez is pulling in his best work on this series. It's interesting to see Patterson's inking evolve over the issues; he gets more subtle with his ow...

This next volume of George Pérez's amazing run on Wonder Woman sees her first big interactions with the greater post-Crisis on Infinite Earths' DC Universe outside of Boston. We see the introduction of Diana's long-running antagonist Cheetah and, as the title alludes, she endures a challenge by the Pantheon with the fate of the Amazons themselves hanging in the balance. Though this arc is long and contains a crossover, it is still very good storytelling and art by Pérez who stays fateful to the

It’s very frustrating to revisit this iconic Wonder Woman moments, at least for me, after watching the bomb WW84. Because, even though I still don’t think Diana is the most engaging protagonist, her background and stories are very interesting . Like this volume she had to go through some tasks created by Gods to test her value with cool fights and on top of that, personal drama. It’d be amazing to see something closer to this in DCEU.

George Perez's Wonder Woman reboot starts to hit its stride with this nice set of issues that starts off with a fantastic and all-too-brief encounter with the Cheetah, before Diana is put through an elaborate series of challenges by the gods. We also learn some interesting things about her backstory and the nature of her connection with Steve Trevor.

As with the first volume, Perez continues to flesh out Diana's world and supporting cast. If you liked volume 1, you'll like this.

2.0 to 2.5 stars. Second volume of the Wonder Woman reboot by George Perez. This one features the introduction of the new and improved Cheetah. Not as good as the first volume, but not bad.

3.5. Unfortunate racism and disturbing rape forgiveness aside it was a pretty good comic if you can look past those major issues. Would be rated higher but points majorly docked for those issues.

Legendary artist George Perez is the highlight of this early Wonder Woman collection. Opening with a recap that explores the end results of the DC Legends crossover event, duplicated panels from the event are paired with reflections from cast members Julia Kapatelis, Etta Candy, Vanessa Kapatelis, and Myndi Mayer. The best part of the collection is featured in the following issue, as the modern version of the Cheetah is introduced with deadly intent. A major quest from the gods fills up the next...

While I used to collect Wonder Woman about 15 years ago, I didn’t collect it for long before I stopped collecting altogether, and I honestly don’t remember much about the series or the stories I read. These collections I got from the library were from that same series, but they were much earlier in its run, originally published between September 1987 and March 1988 (It was well into the 1990s before I ever read a monthly Wonder Woman comic). This first volume, CHALLENGE OF THE GODS, collects WON...

Wonder Woman is one of those many characters whom I can't say that I ever disliked, but I never gave much thought to or had much interest in for most of my life. Then, one day, I pulled a few Perez issues out of a cheap comics bin and promptly went out and hunted down George's entire 62-issue run.Finally, DC has done me the courtesy of collecting the first two years of the series - the issues that George drew (plus the Byrne-illustrated lead from Action #600 and the non-Perez all-star jam on Won...

So-so storyline. It was just after Crisis, and the plot about Zeus up to his usual philandering tricks with Diana brought on a couple of cringes. The redemption of Heracles and the re-envisioning of Cheetah were not enough to make this a recommendable trade paperback.
