DC Finest - Wonder Woman: Origins & Omens by Gail SimoneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
It's official - Gail Simone's run starts off EPIC.
This is the kinda stuff I LOVE.
It's Wonder Woman, it's gods, it's her friends, it's inherent feminism without shouting the message. It's merciful Wonder Woman, showing both her human and godly sides in equal measure.
Honestly, the difference between women writing WW and men writing WW is insane. It's so much more nuanced and Simone does it PERFECTLY.
There's plenty of action, and a continuing story underneath shorter stories, so it's easy to follow along without getting too bogged down. There is mystery without it being hard to follow, and there are layers slowly being peeled back as the story progresses.
The artwork is gorgeous, and the details are wild. The style and presentation works perfectly with the story to show all the little things that might otherwise be lost.
I absolutely loved this one. I don't think it needed the first two short chapters, but they were still fun additions.
Absolutely recommend this for any WW fan. Now to find the rest of her run!
