Product Description: Best-selling author Jodi Picoult, the writer of best-selling novels The 10th Circle and Sister's Keeper, takes Wonder Woman on a collision course with her long-missing people, the Amazons. The action begins when Wonder Woman is assigned the task of capturing Wonder Woman while in her disguise as Special Agent Diana Prince of the Department of Metahuman Affairs. How will she be able to accomplish the impossible task of capturing herself without revealing her secret identity? This is just the start of the Amazon Warrior's problems, as Diana must relearn how to exist as a human woman while a deadly foe begins closing a net on her that will lead to a catastrophic outcome!
Great Comic Book I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book because I'm not usually a comic book reader, but I love Jodi Picoult and have read all of her books. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book was very good and I read it completely in one sitting. I would definently recommend it, even if you don't know the Wonder Woman series, as was my case.
Not Good but Not Bad Jodi Picoult isn't a comic book writer but at least she was brave enough to try. Not everyone starts out as a killer comic book writer and at the same time, not everyone is a wonderful writer. Miss Picoult tried her hardest. Though this book had its bad moments, the dialouge managed to come back although the plot jumped around a few times. Miss Picoult could very well write another comic series and later move onto a graphic novel but she'll need a bit more practice.
Picoult's fault I'm not a follower of the Wonder Woman comic series, but I've read some of Picoult's book and they are truly dreadful. The artwork was perfectly good, but Picoult's boring when she's trying to be dramatic and embarassing when she's trying to be funny. I'm sure Jodi's not too cut up = she had thousands of fans if my customers are anything to go by. I was hoping we might get a hint of what we might have seen if the now-nixed Joss Whedon film had appeared. Big disappointment.
DC...This Is Just Awful Garbage...Please Get A Clue. Why Don't You Just Shoot Diana In The Head And Get It Over With. DC....Are you TRYING TO DESTROY WONDER WOMAN? Please DC..........Don't you get it? Don't you read the reviews? First, Lose the Diana Prince thing. We DON'T LIKE IT! NO ONE LIKES IT! Please Bring back Diana of Themyscira! It's her we love. It's her we want to read about! This secret identy thing does not work for her anymore. Losing the secret identity was the best change of Diana since the title was re-worked in the 1980's. WE are the readers! Change it...Please.
And these stories are just crap. How can you publish such awful crap? ARE YOU TRYING TO DESTROY WONDER WOMAN??? It sure seems like it! The stories are awful. It would be more merciful to just shoot her in the head and get it over with. DC, Are you TRYING TO KILL OFF WONDER WOMAN? DC... Don't you get it? Don't you read the reviews? DC...We DON'T LIKE IT! NO ONE LIKES IT! Please Bring back Diana of Themyscira!" And Please get some decent writers and artists.
Why would author Jodi Picoult think she should write the story for a Wonder Woman comic...? Accomplished author Jodi Picoult (Sister's Keeper), with her nifty plot twists and her memorable characters, is offered an opportunity to write about... Wonder Woman.
She accepts the request because her kids think it is really cool. And, she was a Wonder Woman fan from long back, she writes.
This graphic novel is a collection of stories from the newer, sexier, Wonder Woman. The story begins with a reminder that Wonder Woman has killed a bad guy who was controlling Superman and Batman. The other superheroes criticize her for the killing; she should have found a different way to free Superman. Somehow, she decides to be a typical human, and gets a job as a Special Agent for the Department of Metahuman Affairs, like most women do (note the sarcasm here). She has to learn about latte terminology, the use of money, and how subways work. There was probably never any time as Wonder Woman to learn this stuff. And then, her supervisor gives her an assignment -- capture Wonder Woman! She is quickly captured.
Her secret identity may not last long.
In the meantime, her mother is raised from the dead to avenge her daughter's capture. Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and others join in the battle against the mother and her Amazons. And the book ends... without a conclusion. Sequel time!
The graphics are typical of the "realistic graphic novel genre," with tight uniforms, expressive faces, and bulging muscles.
As one who grew up with the original Wonder Woman, I admit disappointment.
