New to Wonder Woman. Where do I start?
Despite reading superhero comics since I was 12, I've never
read a "Wonder Woman" comic. And there's a lot of WW stuff out there. So I was wondering: what should someone unfamiliar with Wonder Woman start with? |

When my missus got into WW, our comic shop manager recommended these, in this order;
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Earth-Wonder...0799600&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonder-Woman...0799618&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorgon-Wonde...0799627&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonder-Woman...5&sr=8-1-spell http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonder-Woman...0799676&sr=8-1 She started around the time Gail Simone took over the series and it was relaunched at number one, think that was in 2006/07 maybe... We got the recent relaunch by Azzarrelo but stopped after 5 or 6 issues. Frankly we found it confusing and weak. We'd expected it to be awesome under Azzarello, too (I love his other work, 100 Bullets in particular). There's already a graphic novel out of the first arc, I think: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonder-Woman...0799822&sr=8-1 |

Getting a feel for a superhero's history is a thankless task these days.

I've never read Wonder Woman to any great extent, but the immediate post-Crisis run in 1987 was one of my favourite comics of all time. George Perez did an outstanding job re-inventing the Amazon Princess.

I quite liked the issues running up to 100 of that series too with the contest and Artemis taking over (apart from the risible deodato art) |

really? did she get a boost up?
I actually really like the Azzarello run, people may not like the changes, but it's really well plotted, well drawn and it's one of few of the new 52 in which I'm interested in where it's going. |
