Introducing Steve.



Decided to reread these first issues because it's taking forever (or probably just seems like it's taking forever) for volume 2 to come out, so I'm probably just going to go ahead and read the whole run as single issues.
Because this is SO GOOD.



Skinny gist is that we see Diana & Steve Trevor's meetcute in flashbacks, while in the present, Diana fights monsters on the shore of Gateway City.
It's got some great moments with Wonder Woman kicking not only monster ass but also putting the military higher-ups in their place with some verbal ass-kicking.



Highly Recommended.

"But I don't need you at all" TELL THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This issue was the shit. This is WW at her peak, great stuff.

One of my favorites and the best DC series at the moment

[Jadyn❀ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This take on Wonder Woman is so good and so interesting. What happens if you raise Wonder Woman in hell, instead of paradise? Diana is a fierce and compassionate force of nature, no matter what.

[Michael Hicks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gotta love a strong, tatted up warrior woman putting a small, and small-minded, petty-ass soldier who thinks his britches are bigger than they are in his proper place with a savage verbal smackdown. Big thumbs up. Ready for the next issue.

Another exceptionally strong issue. This is my favourite Absolute book by far.

“Welcome to hell”

This was so sick!

Full review to come

Mantendo a qualidade da última, traz bons diálogos da Diana no mundo dos homens, mas ainda falta a introdução do que Diana está enfrentando.

I would be happy to rate these first issues of Absolute WW 5 of 5 ✨️s, could the artist draw human bodies and faces. I don't wish to be uncharitable. The plot is intriguing and delightfully innovative; the writing is pretty solid; the layouts are interesting and dynamic; and, otherwise, the artwork is fine. The monsters and creatures look cool, the settings and backgrounds are very well-rendered, generally proportionate, and sufficiently detailed without becoming too chaotic or visually dissonant.

However, I can't help but be distracted from the story whenever a human character is the focus of the panel. Diana, Circe, and Steve all appear as grotesque, anatomically disproportioned, almost abstract figures. Every close-up of Wonder Woman's face looks like a completely different individual. Sometimes Diana has the pinched, ovular face and large eyes of a silent-era flapper, á la Clara Bow. Next, she has the stretched and misshapen features of some primitive half-horse, half-woman religious icon.

Different dimensions, different circumstances, but Diana always find her way to Steve Trevor. The twist on their first encounter was pretty cool and I love this Diana’s approach towards anyone who tries to belittle or put her into a box.
Kelly Thompson’s doing a great job with the character work.

Thompson y cía mantienen la historia de Diana y Steve, pero le dan un giro. Ahora el centro de la historia es el desafío implica para la amazona que los militares crean en su capacidad de afrontar los peligros que vienen.

…”Entiendo su posición comandante. Soy una extranjera y un elemento que no puede controlar, y eso le frustra. Pero ese no es mi problema.”

La mejor Wonder Woman de la vida.

“En este cómic se habla del laso de WW en género femenino ♡”

[Kastie Pavlik · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love Diana. 😆 Absolute Wonder Woman. Regular Wonder Woman. It doesn't matter. This is Diana through and through.

I thought the first issue felt a bit Lovecraftian, but I didn't tag it as such. This issue is definitely going that direction, which makes it even better.

I must admit to being a tad disappointed that they didn't create a new origin for how she meets Steve. That makes this feel less like an alternate reality, but it's still a damn good story.

This is the best Absolute title by far.

7/10. It's getting more promising.

Que edição foda
Todo o lance com o Steve foi muito foda
O conceito da Circe ser a mãe da diana nesse universo é muito foda
A arte é muito foda
A ponta pra próxima edição é muito foda
A mulher maravilha bersek é muito foda
Tudo é muito foda
Esse quadrinho é muito foda

This series is getting better and better. Wonder Woman is easily my most favorite superhero of all time, and this is a GREAT series to read if you enjoy her as a character! I can't wait to keep reading

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed the story. My favorite part was when Diana was talking to the General. Never has ‘shut up’ been said so eloquently.

[Keegan Schueler · Rating 4 out of 5]

More of a background and history issue with not a lot of action except for the start. All of her new abilities and the horse are sick and the color palette with red is a great choice.

Hell yeah

[cooper · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Carrietta · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Risolvo la situazione."

[Fran · Rating 5 out of 5]

acabó igual que el primer número, pero sigue siendo interesante y el arte es más destacable aquí

[Richard A · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an interesting"Elseworld" style story of WW but I am not finding it that good. It is kind of meandering and it reminds me of Cloverfield. It does not do anything for me in character growth or any kind of storyline that is going to mean anything. So maybe a short mini series I suppose. I am going to stay with it for now...
