Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang Omnibus

Great quality read highly recommendPicking up this omnibus

Conseguí algunos números sueltos cuando se publicaba en México pero tuve que dejar de conseguirla y siempre me quedé con las ganas de tenerla toda y el formato Omnibus es una gran opción. El dibujo de Chiang me gusta, y ese gusto creció con su trabajo en Paper Girls (recomendado), y aunque no he leído mucho de Azarello disfruté mucho el run de estos dos autores en el título de Wonder Woman.Si no has leído y tienes curiosidad por leer algo de Wonder Woman, esta es una gran opción.

Jag tycker att den här Omnibus är riktigt bra.För dom som söker efter new 52 omnibus så är det här är ett måste.Jag tycker att berättelsen är riktigt bra liksom teckningen också.

If you like Greek mythology this is the book for you

This is basically the “Batman Year One” or more like the “The Dark Knight Returns” of Wonder Woman stories. It’s just how great Brian Azzarello’s run was, it added a much needed edge to the character and her world, an aspect that the “Checkmate” mini-series first touched on, and this run expanded and re-worked into her life.Everything in this new mythos, has that old school Greek story dynamic, with the Gods being more akin to a mob family, with different factions vying for the throne of Olympus, and deals are made in blood, and someone is always trying to work some kind of angle, the usual Mafia style politics in play.The biggest change to the overall origin story is that in this incarnation, Diana is not some lump of clay given life, she is the last child of Zeus, which means she’s not servant to the Gods, but she stands as an equal, and has a legitimate claim to the Olympian throne, which adds a very interesting dynamic to her character and her relationship with the Gods and made her more independent of their whims.The story and setup had so much promise, so many moving parts, and a lot of potential for future stories. It’s a shame that Azzarello couldn’t continue past these 51 issues, nor could they find someone with enough talent to continue Azzarello’s groundwork; instead DC just ended up retconning most the new ideas presented in this run, back to her old tried & true roots in DC Rebirth, which has in my opinion, brought the character back down to mediocrity she suffered through in the 80’s and 90’s.Overall, this is the best Wonder Woman story ever written, and needs to be on your shelf, comic fan or not.

Brian Azzarello e Cliff Chiang ficaram responsáveis pelo relançamento da Mulher Maravilha nos Novos 52, um dos duzentos reboots que a DC já fez. E eles entregaram um trabalho sensacional, fugindo da era George Pérez e fazendo deuses mais pé no chão, algo que o escritor domina e que já mostrou em obras anteriores. Ver a Mulher Maravilha lutando contra o Panteão de Deuses para salvar uma criança por quase 40 edições não cansa em nenhum momento.A edição conta com a fase completa e diversos extras. Ótimo custo benefício.
