First of all, ignore the review below. That guy clearly has issues. I never cared much for Wonder Woman, and was only familiar with the character from the JLA comics and cartoon. I decided to give the book a try when Greg Rucka took over, based on how much I've enjoyed most of the other comics he's written. This trade contains some of his finest issues, including the battle royal against the ancient menace of Medusa! Wonder Woman is clearly in the Superman class as far as raw power goes, and is a match for the Dark Knight himself for sheer willpower, and the refusal to give up for any reason. There are some spectacular moments in this trade, from the perspectives of action and character developmnent. Rucka does a fantastic job of weaving the superhero action around Wonder Woman's mythological roots. It's always interesting, and it never feels forced. There are several different artists here, but all do a good job. The covers by J. G. Jones are probably the high point, from a visual standpoint. There's a nice recap at the beginning of the trade, so you'll have all the information you need to dive right into the story, even if you've never read a Wonder Woman comic before. Sadly, the character has gone in a new, less interesting direction in the past year under a new writer, but these trades are readily available for all to enjoy. Give 'em a shot!

This was a great paperback- story was great and the panel art was even better!

I ENJOY GREG RUCKA'S PORTRAYAL'S OF WONDER WOMAN. I ALWAYS ENJOY HIS STORY LINES. I FIND THEM CAPTIVATING, FUNNY, AND HEARTFELT. EYE'S OF THE GORGON IS GREAT FROM BEGINNING TO END.EVERY WONDER WOMAN FAN SHOULD READ THIS NOVEL TODAY.
