While there were some weaknesses in that story line, I liked it overall. The younger Diana, the new costume, and the different take on the Amazons and the gods were refreshing, but not so different I felt like I was reading some character others than Wonder Woman.

Categories :. Wonder Woman Vol 1 Blood DC Comics TPB NEW (2nd printing) | eBay So I've actually read these before in the single issues. I really loved them and I'm happy to read through them again. I'm a huge fan of the artwork and I am enjoying the return to greek roots although I'm still hoping that Steve Trevor and Etta still eventually make a cameo of some kind even though I know they won't. Richly detailed graphics add layers to plot, action, and character development. Dialogue and narrative allow insight into plot and character as well as help build tension and intersperse humor. Without giving away too much to the story, I will just say this, it was fun to see the Greek Gods interacting. Overall, a truly fun read! Here at Walmart.

I am having no luck in reading anything good lately. This Wonder Woman: Blood Volume 1 no exception to my unfortunate streak. I didn't read much Wonder Woman before I tried out this New 52, but I have to say that I'm not sure I like the direction they are taking her. Luckily, the art was better on the inside than the cover would have you believe. I personally hate the cover and am glad that it's not like that inside. However, I still had some issues with it. Normally, the Greek gods are depicted as beautiful human beings, but in this revamp, the only god that looks human is Hera. Yet, she spends the majority of the volume in a peacock feather cloak This was obviously written by and drawn by a man. Hermes looks like a zombie with bird feet, Poseidon is a ginormous fish thing and Hades has candles on his head that make him Wonder Woman: Blood Volume 1 like a forgotten birthday cake. I don't get it. The origin story is completely changed. I'm not normally against tweaking the origins of characters and all that, but I'm not a fan of Wonder Woman: Blood Volume 1 they did with Wonder Woman.
