Media Reviews
This is clear storytelling at its best....It's an intriguing concept and easy to grasp. The reader doesn't need to know that much about Wonder Woman because she is, well, Wonder Woman. --The New York Times

Azzarello is...rebuilding the mythology of Wonder Woman. --Maxim

Azzarello is crafting a highly-intelligent, and surprisingly gory, affair that's drenched in Greek mythology and godly mischief. And if that's not enough, artist Cliff Chiang simply kills it on every panel he touches. Put your presumptions aside because this is actually a Wonder Woman book worth reading. --Complex Magazine

Beautifully illustrated and brings a fresh, fascinating and fun take to the Amazon Princess and her world. --IGN

It's a different direction for Wonder Woman, but one still steeped in mythology...great things from Azzarello and Chiang. --A.V. Club

This book is weird and worth your while. --io9

It's the kind of writing that's made Azzarello such a sought after comic book author. --Crave Online

Brian Azzarello is going for a much more horror-oriented book than previous incarnations, and that works well with Cliff Chiang's art. In fact, they're probably one of the best paired teams for the New 52 so far. --Comic Book Resources
