pickMy first book/graphic novel of 2023. This is just a gorgeous book. Jill Thompson‘s watercolors are extraordinary and expressive and this version of Diana‘s myth is heartbreaking.

so-soThe artwork is gorgeous in this short #graphicnovel but the story just did not sit well with me. A mean spoiled brat Diana is just not the Wonder Woman that I grew up loving. Why?! #disappointed I give a so-so on artistic merit. #glorytotheguuld
Day 10 #bookandabeverage for #riotgrams my #tbr for the weekend. Nice way to spend a snowed in weekend with lots of coffee! @bookriot #glorytotheguild
pickThis book presents a Wonder Woman origins story that is unlike any other, but it seems to move too quickly to make any real impression. That being said, it's not /bad/. The art is unique, and really lovely, and reminiscent of watercolor paintings. 3 ⭐️. #wonderwomanthetrueamazon #wonderwoman #jillthompson #dccomics
This introduction is perfect, omg. #wonderwomanthetrueamazon #wonderwoman #jillthompson #marikotamaki #dccomics
The art in this looks like it's super-pretty; I've seen some reviews that the story itself is kind of mediocre, though. We'll see! ⭐️ #wonderwomanthetrueamazon #wonderwoman #jillthompson #dccomics
pickI enjoyed this fable like origin tale of Diana. I am still a newbie to most superhero comics (and I'm far more familiar with marvel than dc). It's a nice little intro to Wonder Woman and I plan to read more.
I am also very much looking forward to seeing the movie this weekend.
Trying to get some more Wonder Woman reading in before seeing the movie!
pickThis is a nice little YA graphic novel on Wonder Woman. Jill Thompson gives her own spin on Diana's origin story and it's a really nice tale of growing up and learning that one's actions have consequences. For those new to Wonder Woman, this is a pretty good place to start if you're looking for something not bogged down with decades of story.
I should be working...
#femalesuperhero I'm in at the library today, going with Wonder Woman for today's prompt 🙂 great artwork in Diana's growing up in the amazon story. #marchintoreading
I love details like this: a Cyclops toy and a wind-up Amazon in full battle armour.
pickThe story of Wonder Woman's childhood and the events that led to her transformation from a spoiled princess into the honourable crime fighter we admire. I have great admiration for Jill Thompson's art too. 😀
pickI'm not exactly a huge comic book reader, but there are a few comic book characters I've been really fascinated with, and one of them is Wonder Woman. This is an origins story that can appeal to young adults--not too wordy and the imagery is enough to hook you in.
I love the plot line about Wonder Woman's costume: what are normally seen as symbols of truth and justice are made into remembrances of shame and atonement.
pickA Wonder Woman origin for young adults. Very easy read, yet gives more meaning to her as a hero. Comic book fans should read it and then give it to their teen daughters. What ever could happen in her journey?
pickI don't read a lot of comics, but I think this was a cool take on the Wonder Woman origin story. I read this for the #readharder challenge.
And we have a winner! Not previously pictured but it's a Wonder Woman day. #wonderwoman #graphicnovel
Little miss defiant... Diana is shown in a new light.
pickConfession: this is the first Wonder Woman comic I've ever read. It is seldom that I read DC Comics and up until now just hadn't had much interest in WW, despite being drawn to anything matriarchal. I don't know how it compares to the rest of the canon, but I did enjoy this origin story. The artistic approach was definitely the more unique of superhero comics I've read. I'm not sure if I'm compelled enough to keep following...I guess we'll see!
WITH A MARIKO TAMAKI INTRO.
Nails it.
EEEEEEEP! What a coincidence my library hold comes in on this particular #SeasonsReadings2016 day! Or else this is the library gnomes' doing... 🤔 I haven't read it yet, but really--#KickassHeroines
pickJill Thompson's WONDER WOMAN: THE TRUE AMAZON is the character's third origin story THIS YEAR - but it is easily as strong as the other two. While those focused more on adventure (Rucka) and philosophy (Morrison), Thompson here brings Wonder Woman into the realm of fable, and finds the most startlingly relatable take on the character to date. Gorgeously illustrated and lovingly fantastical, this is a great new addition for the character.
How did I not know about this one?? I shall be ordering this. 💙❤️ #wonderwoman
pickWonderfully done. A beautiful graphic novel. Except for the title page, Wonder Woman is not mentioned once.
I have a much longer review, but it's over at GoodReads. It goes into more details and NO spoilers.
