Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka Vol. 2

In the second instalment of the collected run from Greg Rucka we seem to have a real contender for best story of the series. I'd argue it carries more punch than The Hiketeia and you really feel you are in a Wonder Woman story throughout, loads of heart, loads of love and a real sense of power throughout. Loved it! I cannot wait to re-read the finale of Rucka's run in Vol. 3!!

Melhor ainda que o primeiro volume, contendo uma história forte e emocionante. A ilustração/arte está linda, assim como no primeiro volume. Recomendo a todos que gostam da Mulher Maravilha e do autor Greg Rucka.

Some of the best Wonder Woman stories ever. Great collection.

Belle continuité du premier pour Greg Ruckas!!

Greg Rucka's famous run on Wonder Woman is continued with this second volume reprint of classic arcs "Eyes of the Gorgon" and "Land of the Dead." Continuing from the terrific first volume's collected work, this two part story sees the return of the mythical Medousa whose gaze will turn her victims to stone. After having been resurrected by the witch Circe, Medousa decides to pick a fight with Wonder Woman as she is the champion of Athena (the god who transformed Medousa into a beast in old myth). After a devastating attack on the staff of the Themysciran Embassy, Diana accepts a formal duel with the Gorgon and battles her to the death. In the sequel arc "Land of the Dead" Diana is once again caught up in the machinations of her patron gods. After Hera nearly destroyed Themyscira during the first volume, Athena gathers the female goddesses together to challenge the rule of Zeus pitting his mighty champion against her own. All the while, Ares continues to manipulate Diana and the Amazons while playing both sides against each other. This is a great run and a wonderful read. Rucka's run doesn't end here as he has another volume's worth of work after "Land of the Dead" though that arc ("Mission's End") is mostly a direct tie-in to Infinite Crisis. While the third volume's worth of comics haven't been reprinted yet, you can find the entire "Mission's End" arc in a previous volume's printing on Amazon.
