Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello / What is your verdict?

[sabongero]

Whoh! The complete forum has been rebooted. Well, it's going to be great to see how the new members of CBR will vote and say their opinions on this book by this writer. Post your opinions guys & gals if you have any.

[Dr. Poison]

To put it mildly, I don't care for this run.

Dr. Poison thanks for your opinion. Did you prefer Greg Rucka or Gail Simone? Perhaps the original reboot with George Perez?

[Vanguard-01]

I accidentally gave it 5-stars.

I forgot, I'm holding back giving it that high a rating until the entire story is finished. I've really become convinced that we won't be able to truly judge the run until the entire story is told.

He's on track to earn that 5-star rating, but I do have some questions I'd like answered and some issues I'd like to see brought to a satisfactory conclusion before I give it THAT high a score.

So, for now? 4-Stars, with a very strong chance of going to 5.

You're welcome.

While Perez and Simone's run weren't perfect, I enjoyed the majority of them. Rucka's was mediocre for me at best - not great, not terrible, just kind of middle of the road.

It's better than the average DC book, but Milligan's Justice League Dark and Swierczynski's BoP were the best.

[MistakenLamb]

I like it, and it is one of the better books from the New 52. I miss the Amazonians though

[Destro777]

I would never have bought WW if it wasnt for Azzarello + Chiang's unique voice and vision. Had zero interest in the character beforehand. This is already established as one of the better runs of any character in the medium. Its a timeless story that will be talked about, collected, and re-read for a long long time.

It would take an unmitigated disaster during the final months not to be a five. How many New52 titles have been cancelled?

What are some of the issues Vanguard??

[SteveGus]

As far as I can tell, with the possible exception of Aquaman, no character and no lore has been improved by the reboot. They certainly haven't been made any friendlier to new readers, and Azzarello's WW is one of the least friendly of them all; if you didn't start with #1 I doubt a single random issue would be intelligible. Forgetting that every issue is potentially someone's first is an editorial problem, though. Azzarello's oblique, frustrating and slow writing style and his contempt for the lore and her actual villains shove this run to the bottom of the barrel.

much more than 20 books cancelled since the reboot.

today there is digital comics, there is the trades. a writer can't be bothered all the time to keep the series accessible

[Razor Tiara]

I can see why other people would like it, but it's not for me.

[Sacred Knight]

As far as I can tell, with the possible exception of Aquaman, no character and no lore has been improved by the reboot.

Off the top of my head:

Wonder Woman
Superman
Jason Todd
Roy Harper
Barry Allen
Swamp Thing

The list isn't as long as it should be, but it sure as hell isn't as short as one character.

[Blacksun]

I don't think Superman improved at all, or jason todd or roy harper. they are easily obfuscate.

seing sites, comments, no doubt WW azz is the highlight of the reboot.
