My review of Gail Simone's "Wonder Woman"

[Robert M Sutton]

I wrote and posted this several months ago. I got so busy with work that I wasn't able to update it. But this was my first comic-book review since my Amazing Heroes days, so inspired by Gail Simone's work on Wonder Woman:

Nice one! I thought the movie issues were a riot, too

I'll have to disagree. I bought this for my girlfriend (who is a raging feminist) and she absolutely hated it. I read 32 issues before I dropped it though. I liked some of the things Simone did, but alot of the stories left me flat. I wouldn't rate it nearly as high.
2.5/5

If you bought 32 issies, isn't that mostly before Gail's run?

I started at issue #1 when they re-launched and read all the way to the end of the genocide arc. I think it was issue #32

You have my pity, then. Most of the early to mid issues were... substandard? Try rereading just Gail Simone's issues, you might enjoy them more.

Pretty good reads. Nothing great though. I like the art.

Don't need it, but if it makes you feel better.

That's exactly what I did...I sat down and read every issue of the relaunch in succession. I have numerous runs of Wonder Woman in my collection, and so far this run is wayyyyy below average in my opinion.

Thanks. I admire how Gail is able to balance humor with widescreen epic sequences and gritty brutality. She's like a cross between Dan Slott and Robert E. Howard!
