This is an epic conclusion to Greg Rucka's arc on Wonder Woman as well as a key transitional piece to a subsequent run. That's the thing with comics, there's always more back story, more analog hypertext routes to follow.
In this case, I'd start this arc from its beginning in Wonder Woman: Down to Earth. Then read the Wonder Woman graphic novels: Bitter Rivals, Eyes of the Gorgon, Land of the Dead, and then Mission's End.
There's some crossover with the Infinite Crisis storyline in Mission's End....more

I love Wonder Woman. There was a time - not very long ago - when I thought I didn't really care about her, that this wasn't my thing, but okay, I was stupid and I don't know why I thought that anyway. I love Wonder Woman.
This volume collects the final issues of Greg Rucka's run, set right before/ during Infinite Crisis. I was reading this on the train; a mistake as it turned out because at one point I felt like throwing the book at the wall in lieu of being able to punch Batman (and Superman) a...more

I was so confused at the end of this book with the whole Infinite Crisis (I think?? Maybe??) thing but that's comics for you I guess. The art started to annoy in this volume. Not sure why since there's skimpy outfits throughout the entire run but I remember noticing more sexy-for-the-sake-of-titillation poses in this one. Contrary to this rating, I'd give 4 stars for the entire Rucka run on WW. It was easy to read and absorbing for this DC superhero newbie and in hindsight, the dramatic highs it...more
Sometimes I wonder what the writers of ongoing monthlies think when editorial decides that they need to shelve all of their storylines and characters and instead work on the yearly crossover event. In this case, Infinite Crisis. (Bits of this I've actually read two or three times, in Superman: Sacrfice and The OMAC Project.) More than anything, I'm left feeling sad that Rucka couldn't have gone out in the series the way he might have liked to, with his own storylines. That said, he does as good...more
i absolutely love these wonder woman graphic novels. i typically don't like superhero comics, but these ones rock. they have plot, energy, true conflict and rich characters. the only thing i didn't like about this one was that it's a bunch of shorts. i always want a longer story. i'd get deep into one of the stories then it would end and i'd feel annoyed. but yeah, finally, ive found a superhero comic that i really really enjoy. i think this is the forth one that i've read. i highly recommend re...more
Not my favorite collection, the idea of Superman and Batman sanctimoniously judging Wonder Woman for committing murder to save the lives of thousands (if not the world) seemed not only unrealistic but not in keeping with the darker tone of comics to date. All the gun violence lacked impact for me, the whole collection felt dated.
I definitely prefer George Perez's interpretation of Wonder Woman. His art and layout are much better. I did enjoy the story though.
Great ending to a great series.
Infinite Crisis smacks down any and all ongoing plotlines in order to end the world badly. Sigh. Diana keeps kicking, though. Damn, I love her.
Wonder Woman returns to her usual standard of excellence with this amazing addition to her book series.

This was a satisfying conclusion to an interesting arc.
The story was excellent and so was the art.
