Wonder Woman (1987) (Collected Editions) #12
Wonder Woman, Book Three
The final set of 1990s stories written and illustrated by superstar comics creator John Byrne is collected for the first time in Wonder Woman by John Byrne Vol. 3 .
After being captured by Neron and caged in his hellish realm, Wonder Woman manages to rescue her friends and loved ones from his demonic clutches--but the price she pays is high. Struck down by Neron's power, the Amazon Princess is trapped in a coma, her body intact but her soul ravaged. As her life force slowly drains away, every hero and champion of Man's World rallies to her side--but in the end, only the person closest to her can bring Diana back from the dead.
As Wonder Woman returns to the mortal realm, a new threat arises that confounds explanation. A mysterious entity known as Egg Fu has been abducting innocent people and it's up to the Amazing Amazon, Artemis, Cassie Sandsmark, and Donna Troy to stop it. But what sinister purpose does Egg Fu serve--and how does it connect to the cataclysmic changes being wrought on New Genesis and Apokolips?
Finally, past and present collide in the ultimate showdown between the champions of light and the forces of darkness--and the fates of Princess Diana, Queen Hippolyta, Donna Troy, and the gods themselves are laid bare. But in the end, who is destined to claim the mantle of Wonder Woman?
Find out in Wonder Woman by John Byrne Vol. 3 , the final volume in the epic Amazonian saga by legendary writer/artist John Byrne ( Superman , X-Men , Fantastic Four )!

And so ends John Byrne's run on Wonder Woman. It's a bit odd in that Wonder Woman takes a back seat to her mother in this volume while Princess Diana becomes a Greek god and Hippolyta becomes Wonder Woman. This volume at least has some better guest stars in the JSA and the Flash. I did like how Byrne explained the golden age Wonder Woman that used to be part of the JSA. He attempts to fix the character of Donna Troy and instead mucks her up some more, with yet another retconned origin, via Dark Angel. Byrne's turn on Wonder Woman never delivered any true excitement. It was alright and the art is great, but storywise, I was often bored.

I found this a very difficult read to get through St times. so much recapping of the most previous issue or previous stories in this run.
art is still solid.
byrne feels like a proto nick Spencer; solving/fixing things about a characters continuity. madd the Olympians/older gods related to the fourth world New gods. Donna troy was a copy of Diana as a child. Diana now is a goddess banished to earth but was in fact clay to begin with.
a lot of etrigan/Jason blood in the run but in this part, he's just a background character.
makes hippolyta the wonder woman of the golden age which is a great retcon, however those pages can be skipped as the stories aren't very enjoyable the end result is all that maggered.

The storytelling in this volume gets a little bogged down in convoluted continuity, but it's still great work by a master of mainstream superhero comics.
