Finally got around to reading Historia and I really enjoyed it. The art made it hard to read though because it made me wanna spend an hour on every page.

The 2021 ComicBook.com Golden Issue Award for Best Graphic Novel:

Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons written by Kelly Sue DeConnick with art by Phil Jimenez

Published by DC Comics as part of their Black Label imprint, Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is a book that readers waited a long time for, but the moment it arrived it was clear it was very, very well worth the wait. Stunning from the very cover forward, Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons delves into the creation story for the Amazons, borrowing from George Perez's 1987s Wonder Woman run, but going further to tell the Amazons' own history as opposed to the stories everyone knows that are told about them. It's a staggering work, story-wise, that brings a sense of humanity to some of the most god-like characters in all of DC's stories, but the book goes well beyond just the incredible tale.

The art in Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is itself something of legend with Jimenez bringing to DeConnick's story not just stunning visuals but actual masterpieces on each and every page. There is nothing about Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons that isn't an elevated experience, making it easily not only a year's best, but perhaps a best of all time as well.

Congrats to the team behind Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons on their Golden Issue Awards win!

Av Club: The best comics of 2021

Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons (DC)

The oversized Black Label format still isn’t big enough to truly do justice to the grandeur and spectacle within Book One of Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons. Perhaps projecting it on an IMAX screen would do the trick. Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is a labor of love and fury for writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Phil Jimenez, who break away from traditional superhero storytelling to tell an Amazon origin unlike any other that has come before it. The first half is dominated by a sense of wonder as six goddesses create their own Amazon tribes, while the second shifts focus to one character as a young woman named Hippolyta encounters these warrior women for the first time.

The creative team ingeniously pulls inspiration from ancient Greece for its story, with one particularly powerful sequence using ancient Greek pottery to detail the ways men dominate and degrade women. Jimenez’s artwork, radiantly colored by Hi-Fi, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Arif Prianto with authoritative lettering from Clayton Cowles, overflows with brilliant visual designs and meticulous details. The layouts—many of which are two-page spreads—take full advantage of the extra space to carry readers away to a mystical world more magnificent than even DC’s biggest Crisis events. It’s a comic book that fully delivers on the premise of the Black Label line, revitalizing and innovating an existing idea by giving creators the freedom to approach it in their own distinct way.
