\"\"<\/a>This is part of the DC New 52. I picked it up first as an ecomic, but could not get into it reading in that format–I can see the page as a whole OR I can read the text. Not both.<\/p>\n

So eventually I got a paper copy, and since I’m already binging, decided to read this.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of things I liked about this comic–including some of the art. Take this FREX. I like how those last four panels show you the story.<\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Strife seemed to come straight from Neil Gaiman<\/a>‘s Sandman<\/a>, and I found that very distracting.<\/p>\n

\"\"
<\/p>\n

As for the story, I thought it did a very good job giving someone with no Wonder Woman background a very clear idea who Wonder Woman was and what her priorities were–and even why to some degree. <\/p>\n

However, much like the Thor story-line, I’m not sure that the wars of the gods interest me that much. At least, not as they’ve started out.<\/p>\n

But I did enjoy it.
