I have Never read any wonder woman as a kid...but being an omni collector..i found vol 1-3 Golden Age Wonder Woman omnis for cheap and got them all to go with my DC books. I know George Perez did New Teen Titans and was curious of this. Great review!
From start to finish George Perez completely dominated on this run as writer and artist. From the jump, a fairly dark tone is set, and from what I remember I was really heartbroken by a lot of the struggles that that Amazons went through with their history laid out. Especially Diana's mom in some instances. Obviously Wonder Woman herself is the star in the narrative, but I thought the best moments were when the Amazons as an entire people got the spotlight. Can't wait to get this when it's reprinted later this year.
I haven't read her whole Wonder Woman run yet to do a fair comparison, but I'll get the omnibus collecting it if I get a chance and would then happily review it
If you are looking at other WW runs, I would consider the run by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang. After reading opinions, the Azzarello-Chiang run seems more liked than Simone's. EDIT: To make this comment more helpful, I would probably get Simone's Batgirl run myself before Wonder Woman. Also, check out Kelly Thompson's Captain Marvel and Black Widow runs.

Perez' run really is the definitive take on Wonder Woman as far as I'm concerned!
Your reviews are great and in detail. Thanks.

I came late to his art. He packs so much detail into every page. I heard he was very ill. A beautiful book, indeed.
Hi, nive review. Do you know if there will be a reprint of these??
As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been any confirmation that they will be, but I'd be surprised if they weren't reprinted at some point
How do you compare this Perez's run versus Gail Simones's run ? Can you do a review on her run ? Thanks in advance.
