Where to begin? It's as if Zack Snyder made a Wonder Woman film: it's all red skies and battle cries. Finch not only draws her super young, she's all angsty and temperamental. Her transition to god of war is seemingly done as a puberty allegory, complete with... imagery. Also there seems to be a forced democratization of Iraq allegory vis-à-vis ascendant fundamentalism. So I can't say I'm down with this Wonder Woman.

The problem with artist-led books is whatever story there is will be built around cool things the artist can draw. Swamp Thing's in here for a few pages (not a spoiler, it's in the blurb), I guess because Finch wanted to draw him, but has zero no impact on anything. There's also a lizard witch, mechanical birds, a two-headed dragon, etc., who're all seemingly there to look cool and leave with nary a carbon footprint.

Thus begins a new era of Wonder Woman with the husband and wife team of David and Meredith Finch. At first glance, the most noticeable change is David Finch draws Diana like a little girl. Personally I don't enjoy Wonder Woman looking like a teenage cosplayer. She also has, what I like to call, Finch-face, which I'm not too keen on. I already miss Chiang's olive-skinned, (dare I say) full-figured Wonder Woman.
