Wonder Woman #17
A couple months ago at http://www.comicbookjournal.net/the-wonder-of-wonder-woman/ I reviewed the Amazon’s latest adventures. I thought I’d just do a little catch up work to see how things stands with ol Diana now and I am pleased to report this title is still top notch in quality. The script does in a sense, as the title indicates comes full circle as Diana celebrates her heritage and saves her mother on her birthday, which is ironic since it was her mother who had saved her life years ago from traitors as well.
With that said I am still impressed with the plots and scripting ability of Gail Simone. Also with Terry and Rachael Dodson on art, everything blends together perfectly. I would have to give this issue a nine out of ten. So why not a perfect score? At the end of a story arc it’s always tough for a new reader to get involved in the story and pick up back issues to complete the run. As I’ve said before a “previously” section could do this title wonders. DC does have a solid title here and I think if they keep their current creative team through the remainder of the book (or as long as possible) they might even have a couple Eisner winners of their own. Props to DC, props to Simone, Dodson(s), and crew. It’s still a wonderful (pun intended) read.
