Wonder Woman #2
Brian Azzarello: writer
Cliff Chiang: artist and cover
Wow. This is just getting better and better.
We meet Hippolyta, Diana's mother this issue. She is blond, which is a departure from the previous DC, but she still leads the Amazons. We get a scene of Wonder Woman sparing with one of her fellow Amazons (she wins), and we get the reveal that Diana's usual origin of being made out of clay is not the same in this universe.
There is just the perfect amount of words in this issue. Its as if Azzarello is spot on in telling only the details you need to know, let the art show off a little, and get everything else right. I seriously had no issue with this comic.
I wasn't a fan of Wonder Woman before, but if this is how the book will be written for the near future, I'm on board. It will be interesting to see how Geoff Johns writes Wonder Woman when she appears next month in Justice League. It might make this comic seem all that better, or show that this comic has some standards to live up to. More than likely, it will be the former and not the latter.
Words: 10/10
Pictures: 10/10
Recommend: Do you not see what I rated this?
Buy Next Issue: Until Azzarello is no longer on it.
