Wonder Woman: Warbringer
Diana desidera ardentemente mettersi alla prova con le sue leggendarie sorelle guerriere. Ma quando finalmente arriva l'occasione, la spreca e infrange la legge delle amazzoni, rischiando l'esilio, per salvare un semplice mortale: Alia Keralis. Ancora peggio, Alia non è una ragazza normale e con il suo gesto coraggioso Diana potrebbe aver condannato il mondo. Alia infatti è una Warbringer, una discendente diretta della famigerata Elena di Troia, destinata a provocare un'era di spargimento di sangue e miseria. Insieme, Diana e Alia dovranno affrontare un esercito di nemici - mortali e divini - determinati a distruggere o a impossessarsi della Warbringer. Per avere qualche speranza di salvare entrambi i loro mondi, dovranno schierarsi fianco a fianco.

March 27, 2023This is my first graphic novel. I don't feel qualified to review or rate it.

I enjoyed this version more than the novel, partly for the visuals and partly because as it was more condensed, it did not seem as slow moving as the novel.
Like the book, I would have preferred more action, and the artwork is more suited to Batman than Wonder Woman, but it is still good. Personally, I think the story would have been better without the people being taken over by the Greek deities. I did not understand the reason for it in the novel or here.
The story is good more Wonder Girl than Wonder Woman, but as it is an origin and a younger (by immortal standards) Diana, this makes complete sense. I like how the characters inspire each other to be better.
This is a good coming of age story. It definitely works better in a graphic novel format. Ok, so it was not my favourite incarnation of Diana, but it was the right character for the time of the story.

I didn't like this as much as the original novel. Translating prose to comics is difficult and I think that's what happened here. Trying to include all the narration in the prose version made for some boring passages in the GN. The art was OK, but I didn't like the color palette at all. It was very dark and muted almost as if the whole story took place at dusk. I know this DC Ink line of books has made sparse use of colors in a good way but it just wasn't the same in this one.
Received a review copy from DC and Edelweiss. All thoughts are my own and in no way influenced by the aforementioned.

Originally published on The Nerd Daily | Review by Tom Hitchen
Diana. Daughter of immortals. Princess of Themyscira. Wonder Woman.
The famed DC superhero has many names and she has been adapted and reincarnated many times. First appearing in 1941 before her first feature in 1942, there have been films, TV shows, and books. And now she is once again welcomed back to the comic book page in Louise Simonson’s adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s Wonder Woman: Warbringer.
The story follows Diana Prince, long before her tenure as the legendary Wonder Woman, as she risks exile from her homeland to save a mortal and becomes ensnared in an international plot to stop a world war.
This is where the plot gets interesting. The world isn’t being threatened by the usual trigger-happy white men in suits, but by the very girl Diana saves. Alia Keralis is a Warbringer: a direct descendant of Helen of Troy and destined to cause chaos. Together, the two women must overcome their own insecurities and unleash the potential within themselves in order to prevent the world from falling into violence.
The novel in which this adaptation is based on manages to inject a fresh new voice into the overcrowded universe of superhero origin stories, and Bardugo establishes her own version of Wonder Woman’s early beginnings with her usual punchy flair.
In Simonson’s adaptation, the characters are placed front and centre with Kit Seaton’s illustrations. Seaton, who has also lent her artist prowess to another YA adaptation, Alexandra Bracken’s Brightly Woven, manages to breathe life into the DC Universe with her playful graphic design. The only drawback to Seaton’s art is that at times it fails to deliver impact due to the similar colour choices utilised throughout. The book is a colour wheel of blue and grey, and only occasionally does the novel brighten up with oranges and reds. Wonder Woman has always been a symbol of vibrancy and power, and at times, Seaton’s art disappoints and doesn’t manage to capture that historic essence. Overall, it is enjoyable to look at.
Aside from the premise, the plot isn’t anything particularly new, but the magic comes from the main cast. Diana and Alia are joined by the latter’s best friend Nim, a boisterous go-getter with a no-nonsense attitude, and Theo, her brother’s sidekick and crush. Bardugo does character so well and always creates a familiar and realistic portrayal of group friendships. The dynamic between the foursome is both hilarious and uplifting.
Wonder Woman returns to her roots in the Warbringer graphic novel with witty dialogue, high stakes and great friendships. Bardugo’s YA novel is honestly depicted through art and speech, and while it doesn’t quite capture the grandeur of a traditional Wonder Woman story, it lands on two feet when it comes to hilarity and character and gives a nod to the future in its conclusion.
A worthy entry in the Wonder Woman universe.

When I read Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer back in 2018, I had no idea I'd come to love this character so much. Wonder Woman was my introduction to the superhero genre. When I found out there was a graphic novel version I just had to read it.
I think this is a good adaptation of the novel. All the important plot aspects were included, and I'm glad to say I still loved the characters as much as I did in the book, especially Alia and Nim. Seriously, everyone needs a best friend like Nim!
The story feautures a young Diana before she becomes known as Wonder Woman. We follow her growing up as an outsider on Themyscira, save Alia and travel to present day New York City with her to stop a war. It's so to say Diana's first big adventure. The plot was fast paced and easy to follow, the dialogue well written and it had me laughing a lot at some points.
There are some greek gods and myths thrown into the story that I really enjoyed too and thought were quite fitting.
I overall liked the art style, but the coloring was a bit dull. The primary colors in this are shades of blue with red thrown in at some points. I can see why this coloring and the high contrast were chosen, with the red representing rage, violence and war, but overall it was a bit too much blue.
In the end, this graphic novel is certainly a nice addition to the book but also very understandable and enjoyable if you haven't read the book.

This is a good graphic novel adaptation of the YA novel, but the story is not communicated as well in this medium. If you want to get the full story and also love the graphic novel medium, I would recommend reading the original novel first.

Ya conocía la historia porque había leído el libro en inglés, pero debo reconocer que esta novela gráfica me ha encantado 🤩.
Conocemos a Diana, en su carrera para demostrar su valía, acaba quebrantando la ley de las amazonas para salvar una mortal. Lo pero es que la humana que ha rescatado, no es una humana normal y quizás al salvarla haya condenado el mundo.
Deberá hacer frente a la amenaza, ir al mundo de los humanos y evitar que Alia que es la Warbringer, una descendente directa de Helena de Troya cuyo destino es provocar una era de miseria y derramamiento de sangre.
Juntas, Diana y Alia se enfrentarán a un ejército de enemigos para proteger a los humanos y cambiar su destino.

Huge thank you to DC Ink for providing me with a gifted review copy in exchange for an honest review.
DC Ink is at it again with some really amazing titles and today I bring to you Wonder Woman: Warbringer! As I’ve mentioned in one of my previous reviews (Batman: Nightwalker) I haven’t read the novels so I went into this not really knowing what to expect.
Wonder Woman has always been one of my favorite members of the Justice League. I was so excited to read this and to dive back into the world of DC again. This was definitely a new twist on Wonder Woman. She’s depicted as a teenager in this graphic novel so we get to see a new side to her character. She’s obviously still fierce and daring but it’s definitely refreshing to see a few new differences.
The story follows Diana trying to make a name for herself among her people, and her trying to prove herself. What I really enjoyed about this one is the way Diana was willing to risk herself for a girl in need of help even before she knew what she truly was. You can see how strong of a character she is just by this act, and it’s definitely not the only brave one she makes in this book. The Warbringer plot was interesting. The plot twists were also some that I didn’t see coming so that was a much appreciated aspect.
I truly appreciated the work that Leigh Bardugo put into bringing this character to life. I’m really glad that she was the one to write Diana’s story. I’m also looking forward to reading the novel. I’d love to read this in more description and detail. I also loved the art with all my heart! DC Ink always brings the most amazing artists that really bring the stories to life.
Overall, the book was very enjoyable just like the previous graphic novels by DC Ink. I’d definitely recommend these to everyone. Really amazing stories about beloved characters and the most beautiful artwork!

Wonder Woman: Warbringer fa parte dei fumetti targati DC rielaborati in chiave young adult ed è basato sull'omonimo libro di Leigh Bardugo, che ho letto anni fa.
Diana, principessa di Temyscira, è una adolescente che vuole dimostrare il suo valore di amazzone. Per caso si ritrova a salvare una ragazza, Alia, inconsapevole Warbringer, la cui esistenza porterà la guerra perpetua nel mondo. Le due dovranno allearsi per salvare il mondo e sconfiggere i nemici che, invece, anelano alla guerra...
Nella sua versione adulta WW è icona di femminismo e forza ed anche da adolescente non si smentisce. Diana è forte, determinata, non si fa mettere i piedi in testa e combatte per se stessa e per ciò che è giusto. è buona, e potrà non essere la combattente in armatura che siamo abituati a vedere ma il suo personaggio è coerente a ciò che sarà. Il legame che si instaura con Alia è da subito genuino ed in generale tutte le ragazze della storia (Alia, Nim - la migliore amica di Alia -, Diana) sono simbolo di forza, coraggio e lealtà.
Come con il libro prima, ho amato tutto di questa graphic novel: l'idea originale, la narrazione, lo stile scorrevole, l'umorismo che a volte fa capolino per smorzare i toni.
Anche i disegni sono molto carini, sui toni freddi per la maggior parte della narrazione con qualche tocco di tono caldo quando ce n'è bisogno. I balloon sono chiari, le sequenze si seguono con facilità, i disegni sono ben fatti sia in situazioni statiche che dinamiche.
Non riesco a trovare nessun difetto e, come per il fumetto su Harley Quinn prima, anche Wonder Woman offre una prospettiva diversa e sorprendente di una eroina che tutti conosciamo.
Approvato!

First, before I get into my rant, I did enjoy some of the humorous dialogue in this book.
The reason why my rating is so low is because of the basic premise of the book. The idea is that Helen of Troy started the Trojan War not because of her beauty but just because she was descended from some type of war-goddess. Just by existing, she created terrible war. Then, Helen's female descendants also all made terrible things happen just by existing. World War I and World War II were both caused because a woman was living her life normally. The Cuban Missile Crisis didn't become a full war because a girl was murdered when she was fifteen. So the moral here is that you should murder innocent women because they are inherently evil and the root of all wars???
Another thing that bothered me was that there were THREE typos. In one instance, they spelled "hear" as "here" (pg. 14). This is a graphic novel by a major publishing house and written by a famous YA author, how are there typos? This strikes me as lazy and incompetent, and really brought down my appreciation of the entire product.

Mi cómic favorito de los que llevo de los publicados por Hidra (por ahora).
Ya había leído la novela en la que se basa el cómic y me encantó y mucho además y esta novela gráfica lo plasma perfectamente con un dibujo muy bien logrado y bonito. No recordaba bien el libro, así que me he llevado muchas sorpresas que no me acordaba de la trama. Diana como la recordaba, es maravillosa y sus comentarios siempre eran on point. Creo que ahora mismo de todos los personajes DC es mi favorita sin lugar a dudas.
Ojalá más comics suyos porque ha sido increíble y una lectura muy muy ágil.

I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Review can also be found on *Milky Way of Books*
The adaptation of Leigh's book gave me an even more amazing Wonder Woman vibe. The story is fairly done and the art is quite well. Diana has always been an amazing character and seeing her in her teens as a warrior was also very exciting. If you have read the book you'll fairly enjoy the graphic novel adaptation too.

This was enjoyable and it had some slow parts but I think I prefer the full novel.

Con esta, me ha pasado justo lo contrario que con la novela gráfica de Batman Nightwalker: disfruté tantísimo la novela que, a pesar de que la adaptación (¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡las ilustraciones!!!!!!!!) me ha parecido estupenda, hay algunos detalles que se me han quedado por el camino.
Si tuviera que elegir, seguiría recomendando la novela antes que esta novela gráfica, pero de todas formas la he disfrutado muchísimo <3 Diana, ¡reina!

Nos trasladamos a Temiscira, isla donde vive Diana junto a sus compañeras Amazonas. Se nos presenta como una adolescente insegura y no valorada (aún no es la superheroína que hoy conocemos) por lo que está ansiosa de demostrar que ella al igual que sus compañeras es digna del título de amazonas. Pero durante una carrera decisiva en la que si gana puede obtener por fin ese reconocimiento, Diana ve un naufragio y una niña humana pidiendo auxilio. Aún sabiendo que está rompiendo la ley de las amazonas, no se lo piensa dos veces, abandona la carrera y se sumerge para salvarle la vida.
La mortal es Alia y no es una niña común, resulta que es descendiente de Helena de Troya, una Warbringer, alguien capaz de ocasionar guerras que podría poner el mundo en peligro.
Para salvar el mundo de esta maldición, Diana y Alia se unen para luchar contra estos enemigos que tanto anhelan la guerra, adentrándose en un viaje en el que se enfrentarán tanto a humanos como a dioses.
De todas las novelas que hasta ahora tiene publicadas la editorial de esta serie es la que más me ha gustado en cuanto a trama. La historia me ha resultado muy completa. Es original, llena de acción y aventuras, ciencia, mitos griegos... Y nos habla de determinación, independencia, fuerza y feminidad.
Todos esos valores se reflejan en Diana que, a pesar de las inseguridades que muestra al principio, evoluciona a una mujer fuerte, decidida y dispuesta a luchar por lo que considera justo y correcto. Todos los personajes son un símbolo de coraje y lealtad.
Desde el punto de vista de las ilustraciones, la novela también es una maravilla. Muy realista y llena de detalles, rostros expresivos y que transmiten. Los colores, en tonos grises y azules, combinan a la perfección con la historia y de vez en cuando algunas pinceladas de color le aportan más énfasis a determinadas escenas.
Es muy difícil desbancar del puesto número uno a mi querida Harley Queen porque es mi debilidad, pero esta en cuanto al argumento y gráficos es una pasada. He disfrutado mucho con esta perspectiva diferente del origen de Wonderwoman.

I liked this graphic novel better than the novel format that I haven't finished reading oops! I liked this version better because of the illustrations make the reading more enjoyable.
Warbringer is an adaptation of the original story. It was an action-packed story. Loved the friendship between her and Alia. They both work great together and making this an even more interesting read. Diana wants to prove herself to the rest of Amazon. She witnesses a ship exploding and was rushing to save human race onboard. In order to save Alia, she didn't realize that she has brought a Warbringer to the island. She had to leave Themyscira and brought Alia to a special spring to end Warbringer line.
The art is beautiful. The color and everything are just nice. The pace was fast and I really enjoyed myself following Diana's journey to end the Warbringer line. I need more.
I think fan of DC should check out this adaptation!
Thank you Times Reads for sending me a copy of Wonder Woman: Warbringer in return for an honest review. This book is available at all good bookstores.

Warbringer is a faithful adaptation of the original story. Having read the source material, I am confident this is one of the best adaptations I’ve read. The plot follows the story, with the art adding to the battle scenes. Fans who find one medium or the other won’t miss anything by choosing one over the other. I actually enjoyed the graphic novel even more than the book!

Thank you to DC Comics for providing me with an e-ARC of Wonder Woman: Warbringer in exchange for an honest review.
I have a confession to make — Wonder Woman is a character that I don’t care much about. Hear me out, I love who she is & what she does; I love the Amazons & the concept of an island where only women live. I love everything about Wonder Woman.
However, I don’t think I’ve found the right Wonder Woman series to consume. What it boils down to is the writer & who’s bringing her story to life. Therefore, I never found a true reason to consider myself a fan of the character.
Which brings me to Wonder Woman: Warbringer. I have yet to read the actual novel that this graphic novel is based on (but! it’s on my soon-to-read TBR!), but I have to say that I truly did enjoy this tale. Perhaps it’s because it’s directed towards YA? & we all know I’m a sucker for YA reads.
One of the things I loved about Wonder Woman: Warbringer is the friendships that are formed. Our Warbringer, Alia, gets shipwrecked on Themyscira & is rescued by Diana. This introduces us to a whole lot of fighting enemies & GIRL POWER.
Alia is really the show-stealer in Wonder Woman: Warbringer, along with her best friend, Nim. I absolutely adored these two & even more so how they basically welcomed Diana with open arms. Honestly, by the end of it, I just wanted Diana to stay in New York & hang out with her new pals. Can I get a roommate AU or??????
Characters and relationships are absolutely phenomenal in Wonder Woman: Warbringer.
As this is a graphic novel, there’s more to the story than just the words. Kit Seaton brings Diana and the gang alive with her artwork. A blue color scheme continues throughout the pages, which somehow just felt right. Everything just paired so extremely well together.
In all, Wonder Woman: Warbringer is a pretty solid read, especially for fans of Wonder Woman. For fans of YA, I think this graphic novel is a perfect way to introduce yourself to the character and universe.

I have read worse. But this was definitely a YA story and mucks with but is not actually a Wonder Woman origin story. It is an adventure of Young Diana which was interesting. The art needed something more. The story while OK was angsty, whiny and full of drama for no reason but to pad out the story. I mean she rescues a young girl from a shipwreck, but then just abandons the girl in a cave alone for hours or days it is not clear. Why not just bring her to get help? It would interfere with a celebration / party. Oh, while off in NYC they attend a party when they were supposed to be searching for the cure for the girl that Diana rescued. sigh...

Actual Rating: 4.5 stars
The Wonder Woman: Warbringer graphic novel is the adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s DC Icons novel. I haven’t read the novel yet, but this appears to be an excellent adaptation.
In Wonder Woman: Warbringer, Diana wants to prove herself to the rest of the Amazons on Themyscira. She’s about to do that in an important race, but then Diana witnesses a ship exploding and rushes to save the human onboard. What she doesn’t know is that in saving Alia, she has brought a Warbringer to the island. To save both her home and Alia, Diana must leave Themyscira and bring Alia to a special spring to end the Warbringer line.
Wonder Woman: Warbringer is an action-packed story. I loved seeing Diana’s first adventure away from Themyscira and the friendship she starts up with Alia. The art itself is beautiful. The darker color tones age up the story for the YA audience and the pop of bright, bold colors add to the action. There was a mix of different types of panels that kept the story moving quickly.
Overall, fans of the DC Icon series will want to check out this adaptation! And if you’re like me and haven’t read the book, the graphic novel is a great way to experience the story.

Wonder Woman: Warbringer es una novela gráfica original adaptada por la escritora Louise Simonson y el artista Kit Seaton de la novela homónima de Leigh Bardugo. La historia se centra en la famosa superheroína Wonder Woman, también conocida como Diana Prince, y un nuevo personaje que parece tan fuerte y poderoso como ella.
Todos los fans del cómic conocen la historia de origen de Wonder Woman. Cómo fue creada y su juventud en la isla mágica de Themyscira. Sin embargo, Wonder Woman: Warbringer ofrece un nuevo giro a esa historia. La joven Diana quiere demostrar su valía ante sus compañeras amazonas, especialmente su madre. En su camino, conoce a una joven naufragada frente a las costas de la isla que cambia la vida y el destino de Diana para siempre. El nombre de la chica es Alia Keralis, y Diana anhela ayudarla, pero hacerlo puede significar ser excluida de Themyscira para siempre.
Nos enteramos de que Alia es en realidad una haptandra, alguien que provoca guerras devastadoras y caos entre los hombres. Desesperadas por cambiar su destino, Alia y Diana emprenden una aventura con el hermano de Alia y algunos de sus amigos para revertir su destino. Los giros y vueltas abundan en el camino, con algo de mitología y magia en buena medida. En resumen, el lector se encuentra ante un viaje emocionante.
Wonder Woman: Warbringer nos habla del poder de la amistad, el ayudar a los demás y el hacer lo correcto. Esta novela gráfica hace un excelente trabajo al seguir a dos mujeres jóvenes que simplemente están tratando de tomar las decisiones correctas, decidiendo entre lo que es fácil y lo que es correcto. El resultado es una historia llena de giros, aventuras y sorpresas. Pero que también promueve una moral e ideales honorables, lo que hace que los personajes se vean muy humanos.
La narrativa es fluida y fácil de seguir. Te permite tener una idea de la relación que se está construyendo entre Diana y Alia, así como de las relaciones ya formadas entre la segunda y sus amigos y familiares de Nueva York. Cada personaje tiene su propia personalidad clara, con la cual podrán identificarse varios tipos de lectores.
El arte de esta novela gráfica es tan excelente como la historia y la adaptación en sí. Es interesante que algunas escenas son simples y aerodinámicas, mientras que otras detallados y profundas que es difícil imaginar que provengan del mismo artista. Los personajes, especialmente Diana y Alia, son plasmados con ojos muy expresivos, algo importante para mostrar las emociones y matices de la historia.
Una novela gráfica que perfectamente puede gustar a un amplio público. Desde la historia empoderadora hasta el arte en sus páginas y los momentos de aventura llenos de acción, cumple con las claves de un gran cómic. Además, la mitología y, sobre todo, los temas de la amistad, la determinación y el hacer lo correcto, hacen de Wonder Woman: Warbringer una buena historia para todos.

"Bubble bubble, make some trouble"
Alright, what to say?
I read the book a couple of years ago and really loved it. This turn into a graphic novel just made the images I had in my mind come to life with some accurecy, whereas some parts did not (but who cares? we all imagine different stuff)
I do have to say that despite enjoying it, I liked the book better, simply because (and here we go again) I like to create my own interpretation of the plots I read. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it and woud definetly read it again (something that I rarely do) but I mantain my preference.
Beautiful nontheless.
and let's ignore the fact I feel compelled to give this a 5* rating because I already did, kind of
