Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts… and far from their sight, they put a plan into action. The wait is over, and the entire story of the Amazons can finally be told! Best-selling DC talent Kelly Sue DeConnick ( Aquaman) and Phil Jimenez ( Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez Omnibus) will explore the ancient history of the Amazons, expand the mythology and world of Wonder Woman as we know it, and launch one of the most highly-anticipated releases of the year! One of the greatest DC tales of all time begins on November 30 with Book One of Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, a three-part DC Black Label epic spanning thousands of years! If you read only one issue, one book, this whole year, read this one.Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1 (of 3)Ĭover(s): Phil Jimenez (Main), Olivier Coipel (Variant) & Library Faux Leather Design (1:25 Variant) It’s an achievement that’s so difficult to describe, but I can only tell you that you have to read it.

The story isn’t over, but Wonder Woman Historia is already my favorite origin for the Amazons. It’s something made by truly creative people, full of heart and love for what they’re doing. It’s pretty easy to understand now why Wonder Woman Historia took three years to come out after its announcement. I can only say that I can’t stop thinking about the question after my third read-through. I can’t say whether or not it succeeds, I have no idea and little right to say. This book is trying to convey the long-standing pain women have suffered since the start of civilization, but also a pain strictly of today. Depending on who you are, you may or may not want to. You’re surrounded by a sea of emotion and feeling, and there’s nowhere to escape.

The beauty at work in both the art and the script grabs hold and pulls you in. I can only say that Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons is something so beautiful that I’m going to read again and again just to grasp a fraction of it. Even if I was, I don’t have the life experience to properly understand what it’s trying to convey.

I’m not gonna pretend like I’m some great literary analyzer who can dive headfirst into everything being said and shown in this book. I don’t feel like I’ve read a comic book, so much as I’ve read a Greek legend.
