And Then I Read: WONDER WOMAN #5

Odd numbered issue means present day story, where Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor are both on missions in the same area of Africa, but not together. Yet. Despite that cover image. Steve and his team are prisoners of a local warlord with designs to bring powerful magic to life to help him conquer the area. Wonder Woman is with her old foe, Cheetah (in this revamp even more of a human/cheetah hybrid) trying to figure some things out for both of them. Of course their paths lead to each other, and it happens by the end of the issue, with a few surprises along the way.

I’m enjoying this story, but I don’t find it as interesting as the Year One retelling of Wonder Woman’s origin in the even-numbered issues. I’m sure the two stories will resonate with each other more as time goes on, and both are good.

Recommended.
