Rezensionen für Wonder Woman 1 - Blut

[bdgamer-669415 · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

The New 52 Wonder Woman is quite different from the old versions as well as the movie adaptation. However, she has her core characteristics of love intact, making it easy to love her as a character.

Having said that, I love this run thanks to the absence of Justice League. To be honest, every time I have seen WW it's always been with JL, which has become boring. It's nice to see her in her element - the Greek pantheon. And what a fantastic pantheon it is!

Love how the mythology was incorporated into the "real world" more. Definitely a bit darker, more graphic in some parts than other WW stories I've read. Looking forward to volume 2.

I hadn't read the Wonder Woman books before this reboot, which brings the Amazon back to her Greek mythological roots. Diana deals with one ancient story line, Hera going berserk over Zeus's infidelities, while, another old story, a Son God plotting to take the throne of a Father God, moves in the background. Azzarello proves himself the best kind of a hack, the kind that can make even clichés this old work both as plots and as situations to engage one's emotions. I was able to watch Diana kick ass physically without finding the fights implausible and I was able to appreciate the beauty of women without feeling embarrassed. I would say that the artists had good taste but I am afraid that in the age of Miley that would be interpreted as an insult.Of course I was also anxious to see how they portrayed the Gods. I liked some and didn't like others, and almost wished I could find an Internet site where I could argue about them. Hera was an aging blonde who seemed dull even though she was nude behind her peacock fans. Win. Hermes was a hodgepodge, green hair, cadaver skin, fowl feet, odd adornments and weapons whose significance I couldn't remember. Meh. Apollo was a charming heartless schemer with black skin and gold in his eyes. Interesting. Ares was a vulturine old man with black eyes, coming across as a scavenger more than a predator. Interesting. Strife was dressed in a fashion forward black dress and had a cruel hipster's attitude. Definite win. Lord Poseidon would have come across as a Lovecraft monster if the artists hadn't succeeded in making him seem regal. Win, but needed getting used to. Hades was a runt with candles for hair. Fail.

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.)

I wasn't sure if I was going to read this series; I haven't been a fan of WW since the 70s version, but when Kindle had a $5 sale on Volume 1s I couldn't resist picking up the volumes of the characters in the JL and Batman Family I didn't already own. I like Greek mythology a lot so was interested to see where the new 52 would take Diana's story. This first volume is heavily mired in Greek mythology and other than Wonder Woman all the other characters are Greek Gods. I really enjoyed it. I'm not really familiar with her background story except for the Amazon/Paradise Island connection,so don't know if this whole Gods history is new or not but I looove it! Diana's family is both broken apart and expanded here while we (and she) learn the truth of her background and why she leaves Paradise Island for good. She has already taken the persona of Wonder Woman when we meet her and she goes off to be WW, no longer Princess Diana, with a current responsibility to protect a certain young human girl and in cahoots with a few of the Olympians to get back at Hera. I absolutely adore the representation of Hades, totally awesome depiction! This ends with Hades ticking WW off and the next volume promises to have WW going to Hell to face off with him, so I am definitely off to the next volume.

I really liked it because, hello, Wonder Woman, but I hate that her whole origin story was changed in a way that seemed to diminish her a bit.

[questbird · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

Zeus has disappeared and the other Greek gods are vying for his throne. Wonder Woman turns out to be a child of Zeus which gets her caught up in the struggle and makes Hera very very angry. I thought the gods were depicted in very interesting ways: Poseidon as a huge kraken-like sea creature; Ares as an old man drinking in a ruined bar in the middle of a war; Hades who has melted candles all over his eyes.

[fighterofevil · Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen]

this was an awesome read. Azzarello never disappoints and puts Wonder Woman on the map again.

[daniexj · Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen]

Ah, a Xena and Gabrielle comic. Wait, what, it's not, it's Wonder Woman. My bad.We met Zola (the short haired blonde) as she's trying not to die, then we meet Wonder Woman (the dark haired warrior), who eventually takes it upon herself to protect Zola and the first twist in the story as well. Soon after, once they're on Paradise Island, there is another twist that changes the story as well. At first I was a bit depressed about how the second big twist changed the Wonder Woman story, but as I read more, even if I don't love it, the twist definitely makes Wonder Woman's world a different one (Also, we find out on Paradise Island that Wonder Woman's childhood nickname was Clay-- an awesome little fact).I have to say that I really didn't like a lot of the art, but that could have been because all the greek gods were so, so funny looking and not in a good way.

I am having no luck in reading anything good lately. This was 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...and nothing else. (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 look 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 what they did with Wonder Woman. One of the reasons I really liked Wonder Woman was the fact that she was close with her mother. That changes in this new Wonder Woman since the "real" origin of Diana comes out which causes Diana to leave Paradise Island in anger with her mother and then proceeded to act like a teenager. I also thought that the Amazons were rather cold, and had no love for Diana like they used to. I don't understand why these changes were made and I don't really like them.On top of these issues, I didn't like the plot. I found myself confused through the whole thing. Nothing was explained in a satisfactory way, so all of this stuff was happening that I couldn't connect with anything. It didn't actually feel like the first volume in a revamp of Wonder Woman. It felt like I was reading a volume in the middle and that I missed stuff that was explained in earlier volumes. I was completely confused by the end and still have no idea what was going on with the candle thing that apparently transports or traps Hera. Part of the problem may have been that I do not have a vast knowledge of Greek mythology, but I never found that to be an issue with any other Wonder Woman comic I have read in the past. However, I don't think this was the issue. I feel that it was more to do with shoddy plot work rather than my lack of knowledge on the subject. If I remember correctly, from the little I do know about Greek mythology, Hades was never depicted as a short guy with melted candles on his head.Overall, I'm not holding much hope for the rest of the series. I'm still going to read it but so far, I'm really disappointed. If you're a Wonder Woman fan, or someone who really wants Wonder Woman to rise to the level of Batman and Superman in the comic canon, I'm sorry, but I don't think this is going to be the series to do that. It's a lot of fighting with no depth or coherent plot. Basically, it's a disappointment. I'm just waiting for the day that a woman finally gets the chance to write Wonder Woman. I feel like that is what the character needs. Either a woman or Joss Whedon. Sadly, I don't see this day coming anytime soon considering how male dominated the comic world is. It's sad...but true.

All the Greek gods are after one vulnerable human woman's unborn baby, who may be prophecied to kill Zeus. Wonder Woman pledges herself to protect Zola and the baby, but to do that she not only has to go toe to toe with the gods, but also confront the secret of her true origin. Apparently this version of the character was fathered by Zeus, which I'm not thrilled about. I prefer the clay parthenogensis origin; seems cooler and more unique to me. With this origin, WW is just another one of Zeus's gazillion by-blows. The Greek pantheon gets a lot of page time, and I wasn't wildly impressed by them--I wanted more majesty, more of the sense that these were GODS. As it was they seemed more like colorful supervillains.

I love the comic covers and the art of the first half of this trade, but in the second half WW looks a little too much like an early 90s rock sex symbol. I much prefer it when the art showcases her agility and muscles.

I just can't get excited about Wonder Woman. I can't relate and she just seems too perfect, too powerful, but not a lot of personality... actually it's the same as superman. Story was interesting and art is great.

Zeus has gone missing which leaves an empty throne and gods wanting to fill it including Apollo. Hera meanwhile is on the hunt for a woman who carries Zeus's child, though she knows nothing of the world of the gods and was tricked. Hermes arrives to try to save her. He tells her to use her special key which takes her away from her farmhouse and lands her in Diana Prince's home. They go back to the farmhouse and fight centaurs off.Wonder Woman takes Zola and Hermes to Paradise Island for help but is greeted with animosity for bringing a girl who bears the child of Zeus. This is where we hear the origin story Diana grew up hearing from her mother Hippolyta about being fashioned out of clay and how her mother prayed to the gods for a miracle and was granted one by having the clay come alive. That Diana was a child born without a man's seed. Growing up she had to put up with being called the cruel nickname of Clay and now the nickname has come back out of the past.Meanwhile, Strife is counseling her mother Hera on how to handle the situation with the girl and with Diana's new involvement. She's egging her on a bit. Hera sends her down to Paradise Island to deal with Diana and the women and to get Zola. When she arrives she causes chaos and the Amazonians find they are fighting themselves. When the fighting ends Strife lives up to her name and lets the cat out of the bag about Diana's real parentage. It seems that Hippolyta had an affair with Zeus the result of which was Diana. She made up the story about her being made from clay to protect her from Hera's wrath. Diana leaves the Island in a terror. While she is gone Hera visits Paradise Island to enact her punishment upon Hippolyta for her betrayal.Diana must get over her rage at her mother and find a way to protect Zola from those who seek to harm her with the help of a wounded Hermes. What they do is quite creative and daring. I love it. The art is good and while the colors are lovely they don't pop. It's still a good start to a very interesting series.

The origins of Wonder Woman/Diana are explored as well as current family tensions.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!

[sublunarie · Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen]

I basically hated the fact that Diana’s origin is completely changed, but I did like Zola and I loved Diana going out to see a metal band and stabbing Strife in the hand with a broken bottle.
