In development for years by artist Phil Jimenez and writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons was finally released late last year with its second installment published in April of this year. The three-issue series, which concludes in a couple of weeks, marks a complete retelling and history of the Amazons starting with Queen Hera and the goddesses of Olympia. Simply put, this book is stunning and the combination of Jimenez’s line work alongside colors from Hi-Fi (Brian Miller and his wife Kristy) put it over the top in terms of quality.
DeConnick’s myth creation and deep dives into the DC Comics history of Wonder Woman provides for an enthralling read. In Wonder Woman Historia #2, artist Gene Ha has taken over the illustration duties as Hippolyta searches for the astonishing women who saved her life and gathers a tribe of her own. The final chapter, with artwork by Nicola Scott, is due on Dec. 27. According to Previews, the series culminates with an all-out war against the gods and the birth of “one of the greatest protectors the world has ever known.”
