Comics! Wonder Woman #3

Wonder Woman #3

Brian Azzarello: writer

Cliff Chiang: artist and cover

For the third issue in a row we have what will have to one day be considered a great take on Wonder Woman.

We discovered that the Queen has lied to Wonder Woman about her heritage. Zues is Diana's father. While this was spoiled a few months ago in a newspaper article, it still is a very effective story. While the island of Paradise gets rocked by this news, we have Demi, the woman WW spared with, wonder if this means that WW will still be loyal with the Amazons.

Asked and answered. The end of the issue sets up the moment where WW tells the island that they should have no shame from this great lie. The shame only lies with WW, and that she will leave the island, never to return. She says her name isn't Diana or Clay. It is Wonder Woman.

This is just an awesome take on Wonder Woman, and it makes me wonder where Azzarello will go next. Everything from the art to the words was done at a level that exceeded my already high expectations from the creators. I'm thankful that they have done that.

I will continue to trust this character in the hands of Azzarello. Now if only writers like Geoff Johns could be stick with the personality and characterization that has been set in this series, then everything will be great.
