    An Excellent Collection for Fans of the Character or Author Greg Rucka. Added Bonus of the Hiketeia Solo Story
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2017*

The first volume of Greg Rucka's tremendous run on Wonder Woman including the amazing story Hiketeia. This solo story arc sees a young woman on the run from the law asking Wonder Woman to take her in and protect her, invoking the ancient Grecian tradition of Hiketeia to do so. Diana gladly offers the young woman shelter and kindness only to learn too late that the girl is being relentlessly pursued by Batman. The story is a terrific character study of both Diana and Bruce and how both approach the world and justice. Batman believes the girl is a criminal who must be brought to justice, no matter her reasons for her crimes. Diana believes the woman should be protected, even if it means coming to blows with her close friend. The rest of the volume collects Rucka's story arcs "Down to Earth" and "Bitter Rivals" in which Diana is serving as the ambassador of the Amazons to Man's World.The story focuses in on the staff and friends employed by Diana at the Amazonian embassy including Jonah (a new hire who acts as the readers' eyes into the embassy) and Ferdinand (a literal Minotaur who is the embassy chef). The embassy staff is attempting to roll out Wonder Woman's new memoirs only to meet resistance from members of the religious right and conservative groups who decry Diana's lifestyle and religious "paganism." Meanwhile, Diana has gained a new nemesis in industrialist Veronica Cale, who believes Wonder Woman is a false idol and must be torn down. Enter her new secret weapon:  Diana's foe Dr. Psycho.All in all this is a tremendous read that captures the spirit of Wonder Woman perfectly. It is a treat to have Rucka's run combined into one volume, especially with the added bonus of the Hiketeia. I can only hope the rest of Rucka's run is re-released soon in a second volume as this one ends on a relative cliffhanger:  the witch Circe reviving the ancient Gorgon Medusa.

    Rucka's Goddess of Truth
  

*by H***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020*

I dove into this item looking forward to a healthy size of Greg Rucka's interpretation of the Amazonian princess, and in some ways I wasn't disappointed... But in others I was.The HIGH points: Rucka's writing is very good. I had no problem engaging with his prose, his characterization, his storytelling, his sense of intrigue, his take on the Wonder Woman mythos, his touches of wit and humor.  Rucka does a good job of taking very seriously the concept of a child of the gods residing among humanity on an endless good will mission. He's great at exploring the real-world dynamics of Diana's existence among our world as well as demonstrating in mindful detail how Diana spends an average day. (Certainly not sitting at the monitor of the JLA satellite all day staring into space, or doing calisthenics for days at a time on Paradise Island.) I was immediately drawn into the writing and eager to turn the page and see what happened next.The stories: I appreciated the chance to read THE HIKETEIA. This is a very difficult graphic novel to track down at an affordable cost, so having it reprinted here was certainly a treat. Then we have the Veronica Cale storyline: a highly capable and highly educated business woman on a mission to take Wonder Woman down. I remember thinking this was going to be beyond page-turning. And IT WAS... But then--The LOW Points: Very little action in the story, which is not a sin in itself. I don't mind a slow-burn story as long as the payoff is worth the wait. In this case, the payoff never comes. We are left hanging with none of the collection's plotlines concluding, and a cliffhanger last page on top of everything else. This is one of those cases where I blame the compilation editor. For the cost of this trade, would it hurt to have squeezed in one or two more issues so that some of these plots and subplots could have been resolved? We have the Veronica Cale storyline, the Gorgon resurrection, Dr. Psycho on the loose, the disruption/partial destruction of Themyscira, and all of these stories remained in limbo by the end of this trade. There was no final conflict, no action at the end. It felt like the entire compilation—with the exception of THE HIKETEIA—seem like a build-up with no peak or ending conflict. In fact, it may have been better to have sacrificed The Hiketeia in exchange for two or three more monthly issues of the core title, allowing the resolution of one or more of the plotlines.So I'm torn: I want to give this 3 stars for the good storytelling, but I feel like most of the book was a collection of set-ups with no payoff, and there was too little actual action for my tastes, so I'm going with two stars.

    A Wonderful Book
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2017*

After watching the Wonder Woman movie, and hearing such good things about Rucka's work on the character I decided to check this volume out. I have not read much Wonder Woman before, but this volume gave me a new love for the character. This is not only a great story for Wonder Woman, but an incredible comic book saga in general. It honestly turned out to be one of my personal favorite comic book runs. I was a little hesitant in reading it because I have not enjoyed Rucka's Wonder Woman Rebirth stuff that much, but this book was great. The story was built really well, and I really like all the supporting cast. I was a little concerned the story would get too political, but I think in the end it struck a very nice chord.  The politics were necessary to the plot here, and it did not feel preachy. The motivations for the villains were very intriguing. I loved how Dr. Psycho and Silver Swan are used in this story, and how their involvement served to raise the stakes. This is a comic book run I think every comic book fan should read.  I look forward to reading the next volume.
