805 books310 followersAmanda Conner started out in comics working small projects for Marvel and Archie while working as an illustrator for New York ad agencies Kornhauser and Calene and Kidvertisers. working a number of launches and campaigns such as Arm & Hammer, PlaySchool and Nickelodeon.
However, loving comic books and cartooning the most, Amanda found herself working for Marvel on their Barbie line (much of Amanda’s covers inspired designs for the line of Barbie toys), Disney line which included the Gargoyles books. At the same time she was illustrating “Soul Searchers & Co.” for Claypool Comics and worked on other Marvel projects, such as Excalibur for the X-Men line and “Suburban Jersey Ninja She-Devils”.
During an assignment for Crusade (‘Tomoe’) she and Jimmy Palmiotti became a real team as penciller/inker.
Amanda then moved on to do what is probably one of her best known works. She did several years as penciller on the hit series “Vampirella” for Harris Comics and drafted 24 issues. While illustrating “Vampirella”, Amanda worked with the top writers in the field, Grant Morrison, Mark Millar and Warren Ellis.
Continuing to expand her horizons, Amanda illustrated the best-selling crossover “Painkiller Jane vs. the Darkness”, and went on to work on “Painkiller Jane” #0 (the origin book). She also wrote and illustrated a story for “Kid Death and Fluffy”.
Since then, Amanda has worked on many of the top titles in comics such as “Lois Lane”, “Codename: Knockout”, and “Birds of Prey” for D.C. Comics Vertigo line, “X-Men Unlimited” for Marvel, co-created “Gatecrasher” for Blackbull Comics, and “The Pro”, an Eisner nominated creator owned book for Image Comics with Jimmy Palmiotti and Garth Ennis. Recently she worked on the highly publicized Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre series with Eisner winning creator Darwyn Cooke.
Amanda’s work can also be seen outside the comic book community in such places as ABC’S Nightline, the New York Times, Mad Magazine, the new sci-fi Stan lee “So You Want to be a Superhero” series and the upcoming Disney Underdog movie character designs for film and television, character designs for the Los Angeles Avengers stadium football team and is featured in a Biography magazine commercial on A&E. Amanda does spot illustrations in “Revolver” magazine each month and has had a huge success with the JSA Powergirl miniseries in previous years, each issue going into 3rd printings.
She continuously produces cover work for Marvel Comics, DC Comics and an assortment of independent titles.
With PaperFilms co-founder Jimmy Palmiotti, they are currently working on the highly received Harley Quinn series and other Harley Quinn related titles for DC Comics, in addition to several upcoming DC related projects. Garnering national attention and sales results, the team continues to receive accolades for their work on these titles.

An anthology of Wonder Woman stories that came out as "digital first" during the pandemic. Conner and Palmiotti write 6 of the 11 issues and their writing is just OK. The Jeff Parker, Andrea Shea, and Marv Wolfman stories are the ones that really stood out for me. None of the stories are more than an issue long. I'm also not a fan of the "covers" where they just blew up some of the interior art and tried to pass it off as a cover to pad the page count.
September 22, 2021
One of the pandemic-era "digital first" releases rushed out to fill a gap, this is the usual collection of short stories (which I assume were previously published in some other print-only title, and hence what they had on hand). The first story is as much about Harley Quinn as it is Wonder Woman, and is very clearly connected to Connor & Palmiotti's previous run on the former's comic - whether you'll like it probably depends on what you thought of that. The next three issues are pretty decent stories by the same writers, before we're into the mix of one-issue and half-issue tales with variable artwork that typify the Digitial First comics more widely.
There's a rather good story featuring Etta, accompanied by a really limp one from the perspective of Steve Trevor. There's a story featuring Dr Pyscho that feels rushed; the premise is a good one, but it needed more space to work properly. The story featuring Cheetah is out of continuity, for some reason, which the others don't seem to be, and there are a few that feel like they could have gone somewhere worthwhile but aren't long enough to do so.
It's certainly not bad, for such a collection, both putting WW into an international perspective and with some writers doing a decent job of showing what makes her different from other heroes. But that, of course, is inconsistent, as the stories presumably weren't originally written to be read together in this style and show different writer's takes - not all of whom manage to get it right. There are definitely some stories in here that aren't worth the three stars, but the average holds up.

i loved this. i love a good comic anthology and wonder woman is my favorite hero. i loved the art throughout and I'm excited to read more of this series. (though why not just put this under the sensation comics name?)

A good collection of Wonder Woman medium length stories. When you have different writers and artists most if the time it is a mixed bag of hit or miss stories. For me these all seemed to be fro. The same theme and great artwork all the way through.
The only thing that it down for me is that I would have liked more action and better fights for Wonder Woman's warrior side. Though they did a great a great job of conveying her compassionate, loyalty, icon/celebrity and intelligence.
As much as I enjoy this volume I am hoping the next volume contains more action packed stories. To do this they will need to use villains that can match Wonder Woman physically. Though I hope they keep the same artwork standard. I am definitely looking forward to it though.

April 16, 2022It's been a long time since US superhero comics had the knack of anthology formats, but usually if you throw enough interesting creators at one, something good will come of it. So this one goes above and beyond, in the bad sense, in terms of quite how unmemorable it manages to be. Even the multiple issues written by Conner & Palmiotti, among the few writers who've generally managed to do good stuff at post-Flashpoint DC, only really come alive when they bring their best gal Harley Quinn along for a guest spot. OK, one of their other issues has a heartbreaking opening, Diana visiting an old comrade who's now wasting away while she herself remains untouched by time – but then the needle screeches off the record as that jars into a rushed apocalyptic scenario which, the reader knows full well from the prologue, is nothing more than Gotham's Scarecrow having a go at Wonder Woman instead of Batman in a story which has inexplicably decided that little-loved Marvel crossover Acts Of Vengeance is worth ripping off.
As for the title: yes, it has long been one of the paradoxes of the character that she supposedly came to man's world for peace, but being a superhero, will generally end up decking someone. But at least in a longer story, you can have a more convincing prelude of her trying to find alternative resolutions, whereas in done-in-one stories, it becomes more a faintly comical exercise in box-ticking. 'Is there any possibility of concluding this peacefully? No? Then STITCH THIS.' It's particularly glaring compared to the last WW anthology I saw, Sensation Comics, where at least the shorter stories meant a greater variety of tone, lots of little vignettes in which Diana inspires a kid with a chance meeting or what-have-you. Here, though, nearly everything is laced into the format of resolving with a fight, a fundamental lack of ambition which serves only to rob the character of her distinctiveness. See also the Louise Simonson/Paul Pelletier story – again, a creative team from which one might expect more, or at least something – in which Diana assumes a pre-Columbian tale she's heard is "surely a myth". Which would make sense if it were Blue Beetle or Batman thinking that, but Wonder Woman? I forget whether she's still meant to be Zeus' daughter at the moment, but either way, she mingles with gods on the regular, so why the blazes would she assume that? The only logical conclusion is that it's because it's not a European legend, which just makes her look colonialist – surely not the intention, but another indication of quite how little sense one can expect out of modern DC.

The style of these collected issues kind of reminded me of golden age comics but in a modern style, which I thought was really fun. I don't know that much about the Wonder Woman mythos, but this volume felt very new-reader friendly which was nice. It had a sort of "villain of the week" style to it which I really enjoyed. I was tearing up a little bit over the ending of the skeleton story! Very fun book!

Some of the stories despite what the cover says have been printed before they are from the wallmart only magazines conor should have done some of the pencil work as the art in those walmart stories was very uneven the rest of the book wqas a real treat to read i do wish the paper quilty had ben better as the book itself i was worried about damaging

A collection of stand alone stories featuring everyone from Harley Quinn to Deadshot. Lovely!

Another day, another era, another 'Wonder Woman' anthology comic.
Not that I'm complaining. Keep these coming, DC. Keep showcasing the champion of truth and love. Keep elevating women being heroic, and kind and peaceful.
'Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace, Vol. 1: Global Guardian' contains some stories that are good, some that are not so good, and only a few that I would call great, but overall it is a solid collection for newcomers to learn about Wonder Woman and what she represents, and older fans who just want to see more of her being her awesome self. There are few stories also that I would call forgettable, mediocre and underwhelming.
There isn't really anything about Themyscira and Diana's identity as the princess and ambassador of the Amazons here, but it is mostly about her as a hero to the public, to the common people; admittedly in man's world, but peace and diplomacy are always her first resort to anything, and her Lasso of Truth and invisible plane are not forgotten about.
Equally important, she is always a champion, supporter, partner, friend, and sister to fellow women.
Yet, there is no LBGTQ+ rep in any of the stories in the book, which is a mark against it. And sadly not the only one in terms of lacking in inclusivity and diversity: it is very white, and it seems the only people of colour in it are either victims, living or dead, or villains. Except a detective in the last story.
Yikes. Do better, DC. Don't regress now.
Alongside Diana in 'Agent of Peace, Vol. 1' are Harley Quinn, Lois Lane, an old school heroine called Socialite (but her design page calls her Aristocrat, an early draft name?), Great Gundra the Valkyrie, Etta Candy, General Tolifhar of Gorilla City (nice callback to her association with intelligent talking gorillas, who shared her apartment once!), and Steve Trevor, who shows up in more than one story and is mainly Wondy's main squeeze. From her usual rogues' gallery are Cheetah and Dr. Psycho, and there're also Batman's rogues' gallery villains (not including Harley Quinn), such as Penguin, Killer Croc, and Scarecrow, though they don't contribute much.
A few of Wonder Woman's adventures in 'Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace, Vol. 1: Global Guardian' are not self-contained and are incomplete, and at least one does not fit with the main DC Comics continuity at all, making it look like a "what if?"-type fanfic. But I enjoyed most of them, and I enjoyed reading about the spectacular, inspirational, aspiring Wonder Woman again.
I'm glad I gave this a chance, despite it headlining as a product by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, whose work on Harley Quinn I am steadfastly not a fan of. To be blunt and honest, I hate their take on the character, and it's lucky that I read 'Agent of Peace, Vol. 1' before giving them another chance with 'Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey: The Hunt for Harley', which is a disaster on many, many levels, and 'Harley Quinn and Power Girl', which is one of the worst comics I have ever read in my entire life. I am still recovering from it, and for the sake of my health in every way I wish not to talk about it ever. Suffice it to say, I am beyond loath to read anything by the Conner and Palmiotti team again.
But at least the Harley in 'Agent of Peace, Vol. 1', in the first story, 'Commitment to Chaos', is a little more tolerable than the duo usually write and draw her, even though she still acts like a toddler desperately trying to be Female Deadpool, with revolving bad catchphrases, and who still thinks with her stomach (less with her libido this time, thank *%@#!, and no toilet humour - a double plus).
Oh, and this 'Wonder Woman' book actually has Wonder Woman say, "Suffering Sappho!". That alone makes it worth your time (even if it brings further attention to the queer erasure).
'Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace, Vol. 1: Global Guardian' - not a powerful recommendation, but a recommendation nonetheless, from this Wonder Woman (and Harley Quinn) fan.
Other 'Wonder Woman' anthology comics I recommend:
'Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman Vol. 1'
'Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman Vol. 2'
'Wonderful Women of the World'
'Such a shame a thing of beauty could be abused in such a way. But that's human nature.'
'One part of being a hero is understanding that the sacrifices you make today will hopefully shield future generations from what we had to endure.'
Never stop calling yourself a feminist, everyone. And an Amazon.
Never let fear stop you from living, from being your true self.
Final Score: 3.5/5

Wonder Woman comics are such a sparse commodity in my library that I snap them up whenever I see one that wasn’t previously on the shelves. Sometimes that means I get a mixed bag when I find a collection. But the stories in this anthology are solid winners.
As per the title, Wonder Woman has her hands full jetting around the world, solving crimes and protecting the innocent. In this volume, she is often ably matched with other women, such as Lois Lane, Etta Candy, the Socialite (a superheroine I’ve never heard of before but wouldn’t mind getting to know better) and, believe it or not, Harley Quinn, whose fabulous image graces the cover.
Harley Quinn teamed up with Wonder Woman in another anthology, wherein the Amazonian princess conscripted her and Cat Woman to help clean up Gotham. Evidently, Harley liked it so much, she is actually giddy at the opportunity for another superhero team-up.
The gag works. Harley’s verbose amorality is a refreshing counterpoint to Wonder Woman’s soberer mien; you can see how the two might be a formidable team. After all, Wonder Woman herself has moments of fun. Think of her playing catch with a kaiju in Wonder Woman, Volume 5: Heart of an Amazon and you’ll understand what I mean.
Harley brings her own unique style of fighting and dealing with criminals to Wonder Woman’s side…not that the demigoddess always appreciates it. But Harley is funny, fierce, determined and utterly unapologetic about some of her more questionable methods of taking down the bad guys. She seems to have ADD, which causes her to zone out when Wonder Woman talks to her. However, her affection and loyalty to the Amazon is undeniable. Her defense of Wonder Woman’s identity to a skeptical judge is absolutely priceless and begs to be read aloud.
We get Steve Trevor in this anthology as well but not as often as you might think. In one story, he’s actually less effectual than Wonder Woman’s distaff helpers. So this book definitely reminds you of what makes Wonder Woman so special. Her care for others and her closeness to other women posits her once again as a feminist icon that we can all root for, one who saves the world while wearing a skirt and rocking an armored corset.

I think I might hate one-shots. This is all one-shots.
There just isn't time to get anything going. It's like flash fiction. I'm not a connisseur of the short story, but I have come to appreciate it. But a short story is like 'War and Peace' compared to a one-shot.
Some of these stories would have been much more interesting if they had been allowed to breathe. As it was, they barely happened. The worst stories were 'I am the great super villain X, you will never sto...' and your in the stupid noose and that's it. The others were just wasted potential. There's barely time to state a concept, let alone explore it.
At least two parts, or it's bust for me. I guess that counts out vol. II, given that's all one-shots too.
I almost forgot Harley Quinn, she's so annoying. I tried reading some new Harley stories. She's a teenager with a mouth, completely devoid of threat or anything that suggests a negative personality. It's just shallow words that she is anything but a good guy. And man that mouth can blabber. Avoid that character like the plague.
So, what is Wonder Woman? What's her bit? Mm, exactly.

I really enjoyed this! It’s a collection of a bunch of different one-shot Wonder Woman adventures, and I enjoyed the TV show feel of something new every episode. I liked the variety of art styles, as well as the homages to past WW eras! Overall, I didn’t mind that there wasn’t some big, dramatic story arc; I really liked the wholesomeness and encouragement of WW saving the day over and over again in lots of different situations. It felt like a return to a more simplistic storytelling style that I associate with the hopefulness of superheroes and why they mean so much to people. It made me happy to read.

A pretty great read as it is basically an anthology as their is no continuous story thread between the various issues. This kind of reminds me of older comics that just told stories and were not worried about multiparters or trying to tell one larger story which is refreshing. We see Wonder Woman fight Deadshot, assassins, a Valkyrie, and even Scarecrow. My favorite would be her fight with Scarecrow as we see a bunch of villains decide to swap heroes with each other I know this is an idea done before but it is a cool idea to see heroes clash with a villain they would never have fought with before forcing them to change how they fight.

I thought this was a pretty good graphic novel. I love how there are different stories instead of one overall story. The reason why I picked it up was because Harley Quinn was on the front cover. I love how they bring in other DC characters and villains. I can not wait to continue with this series.
January 13, 2022
A collection of short stories that were originally released digitally during the pandemic. They were all entertaining and well-drawn. I hope DC sees fit to release the remaining 12 issues. There was one Cheetah story where the character was based on the late 80’s post-Crisis design. Overall, I was satisfied and recommend it if you are looking for a quick Wonder Woman fix.
November 3, 2022
This one was a nice read, lots of fun team ups. I think my fave story was the one with the team up between Woman Woman and Harley Quinn, Harley seems to be one of the few people that really annoy Diana (in a friendly kind of way). I also really liked Wonder Woman encountering Scarecrow from Batman's rogue's gallery. I wish that one had been longer, it was a really interesting concept.
June 7, 2024
With trade paperbacks, I have gotten used to story arcs put together, with an occasional "other" story (annual, different title, past origin story, etc.) to justify the cost of the collection. This one is just stories about Wonder Woman (from digital comics, apparently). The art variety is good, as are the various single-issue stories.

This follows Wonder Woman on miscellaneous adventures, but because each story is contained to one issue, it really feels underdeveloped. There were a lot of points where the story just ended because a scene was over, rather than because the entire story had been completed.

Average rating for the 11 issues is 3.1/5
I placed my notes/thoughts for each issue on their respective individual issue
But overall, I enjoyed the lower stakes wonder woman stories, even if a lot of them were not very fleshed out and suffered from the short page count.

Like any anthology, it had standouts and misses. I found most of the stories entertaining, neither stellar nor terrible. It's very approachable for first-time comic readers and overall, I enjoyed it.
[Gave it 3.5 stars on Storygraph]

One off Wonder Woman stories. Most of them are fine, but very few of them were more than just good.

A good collection of stories of Wonder Woman helping others and saving the world. I was hoping for the start of a ongoing series, but that's my fault for not reading the description.

I liked the crossover with Harley. Quite a variety of situations. Always looking for the non-violent/non-lethal solution even though justification is there to ignore that course of action.
