Some of my favourite Wonder Woman I've read so far. I liked the story, and despite it being 10 issues, the arc felt fun and fresh, not dragging at all.

Diana's love interest Sigfried was actually really adorable, and I loved her squirrel companion Ratatosk. ( )

I dropped out of the Wonder Woman series a few volumes back out of boredom and have skipped ahead to see if Becky Cloonan can bring some new energy to the title.

Soooooo . . . Wonder Woman has gotten herself dead or she's ascending to godhood or something at the end of Dark Knights: Dark Metal (not to be confused with her subsequent death for Dark Crisis mind you) -- and now finds herself in the afterlife. But not the afterlife of Greek mythology; no, no, she's in Valhalla. Turns out some rogue god is causing problems across the pantheons, so Wonder Woman has to set aside the rest and relaxation of death and get back to work tracking this big bad villain across the multiverse, with stops in Tartarus, Earth-11, the Phantom Zone, the Fifth Dimension, Gemworld, and a limbo called the In-Between. Fortunately she's helped by a cute squirrel (!).

It's a kinda cheesy, kinda fun road trip, and it all becomes a metaphor for healing the rift between the extremism of MAGA blindered nostalgia and Antifa anarchist revolution. Y'know, the kind of big, hopeful gesture WW is known for.

It's good enough, I'm going to keep on and check out some of the spin-off titles with Nubia and the new Wonder Girl. ( )

Interesting ideas. Just not what I am interested in a Wonder Woman story. But Siegfried was cute. ( )
