Look, if I really wanted to, I could find some flaws in this book. I dont want to. This is Wonder Woman the way she should be written, and despite some editorial mishaps, Gail Simone's run is definitive for the character.

Collects Wonder Woman (2006) # 14-19
The Amazon reviews for "Who is Wonder Woman?" "Love and Murder" and "Amazons Attack!" made these books look pretty bad, so I just skipped them. (I've just recently ordered "Who is Wonder Woman?" to see for myself just how bad it is.)

Some things that must have happened: apparently, what was "wrong" (according to whom?) with Wonder Woman was that she "wasn't human enough", so DC decided she should have a secret identity: Diana Prince. And she would have two bodies: the unpowered Diana Prince body and the super-powered Wonder Woman body (so, she's Captain Marvel.). Diana Prince would wear glasses and work for the Department of Metahuman Affairs with Tom Tresser (a.k.a. Nemesis). Athena has removed all the Amazons off of Themyscira with the exception of Hippolyta (who is alive again) and four others, and created a barrier to keep the Amazons from returning.
When DC gave WW to Gail Simone, they wouldn't let her just scrap all of this, but she managed to write good stories under these limitations regardless.

14-17 (art mostly by Terry and Rachel Dodson) Not everyone on Themyscira rejoiced when Diana was originally created (meaning her as an infant, not this Diana Prince business). The four members of Hippolyta's personal guard disagreed. The Secret Society of Supervillains has made about a hundred soldiers with Captain Nazi's powers, who are now invading a mostly empty Themyscira. WW asks gods from various pantheons to help her pass through Athena's barrier and finally gets help from the Polynesian god Kane Miohai. What follows are various battles between Wonder Woman, the super-nazis, Hippolyta, the four guards, and several intelligent white-furred gorillas who used to work for Grodd but are now loyal to WW (oh, I forgot to tell you about them, didn't I?)

18-19 (art mostly by Bernard Chang) WW heads off into space to protect the homeworld of the Khunds? Chang has not yet developed the style he later uses in the "new 52" Wonder Woman issues.

Also, Wonder Woman is now courting Tom Tresser.
All in all, a good start. Diana is talking more like a "regular human;" I suppose it's all part of her Diana Prince disguise.

Edit: Whoops, that's embarrassing. Cliff Chiang is the main artist on the Azzarello run, not Bernard Chang.

The first part (which is the majority of the book) is about Themyscira and Diana's Mother being in danger.Really great story, beaterfull art. The second part takes place just after but you go from Amazons fighting guns to Aliens invasion...It's also very good but it makes a strange contrast with the first part.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!

This is a truly wonderful story. After the disaster that was Amazons Attack, it is really nice to see Wonder Woman headed back in the right direction. I always thought Gail Simone did a great job with Birds of Prey- I think she is even better writing Wonder Woman. The artwork is also topnotch.

I won't give the story away. I'll just say that most of it takes place on Themiscira and Queen Hypolyta has a large part and guess what? She is actually written in character this time (will wonders never cease?)! Princess Diana also seems to have returned to her roots, finding ways to be compassionate and loving and also a kick ass warrior when the need arises. This story marks the return of a familiar and much missed vulnerability to the character but also never-dying courage and strength, which is the way it ought to be. Thanks to Gail Simone for knowing the characters and keeping them true!

There is one part of the story that surprised me- again, I do not want to give too much away but at one point Diana decides to forgo her allegiance to Athena and dedicate herself to a god from a different pantheon. At first, I was a bit shocked by this but considering everything that has happened to the Greek gods of late I eventually decided that, yes, it made absolute sense for her to do it. Once again, I give a lot of credit to Simone for understanding the character and her motivations.

This is Wonder Woman at her best and I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Under rated title.

It seems such an obvious thing, doesn't it? Put one of the most famous woman writers working in comics on the most prominent female superhero, and what do you get? A great run is what you get. Simone took over the title in the mid 2000's following DC's widely panned Amazon's attack storyline, but Simone shows how you can turn lemons into lemonade.

At this time in DC history, Diana works for the government investigating the same type of villains Wonder Women would. In attempting to understand humanity better, Diana goes without her powers during the day. But when she uses them, she proves herself as the Goddess she is. Simone displays her tactical brilliance and her diplomacy skills at the same time, showing Wonder Woman as she as meant to be. This is shaping up to be the best Wonder Woman title ever.

This is a story about Diana after she has searched for who she is and is going back on her heroic journeys as Wonder Woman. But sometimes going back to the beginning of a story is what is needed to propel it forward.
The first arc in the book is about 4 renegade Amazons who take the shadowside of Athena to a chilling conclusion. These 4 will do anything to defend the Amazon civilization from what they see as its greatest fear, a child. But strangely, because human they be, they yearn for a baby girl themselves.

This is a story that tells of a daughter and how far she will go to help her mother and her land. This is a story that shows the power of Mercy and Diana at her finest as warrior and diplomatic. A top notch story and very worth picking up for your shelves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good first volume.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2018

This first volume which collects together the first few issues written by writer Gail Simone. Gail Simone writes Wonder Woman really well. She helps Diana come across as a character beautifully. Gail Simone's take on Wonder Woman is brave, fearless, determined and, very heroic. As well as humble, down to earth and, kind and, understanding. Even in some villainous characters, Diana still manages to find a tiny shred of good in them.

These are qualities that makes Wonder Woman, the much loved superhero that fans, like myself have come to love. One of the fun things I've learned about Wonder Woman in this book, is that she also likes birthday cake. In one of the panels you can see Diana munching away on a piece of birthday cake.

The artwork is beautiful too. Terry & Rachel Dodson provide the artwork in most of the issues, collected together in volume 1. The artwork in the last 2 issue's, is illustrated by Bernard Chang. Who does a pretty decent job
With the artwork, but, I do prefer Terry & Rachel Dodsons illustrations of Wonder Woman. They make Diana look not only stunningly beautiful, but, also make her look like truly powerful force of nature.

Can't wait to read volume 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simone's Wonder Woman is, to put it lightly, impressive.

This is the first Wonder Woman comic I've read and I absolutely loved it! Until now, most of the portrayals of Wonder Woman I'd been exposed to seemed bland or just didn't match up to the other big superheroes like Batman and Superman. Because of that, I wasn't very interested in her growing up. However, I'd finally decided to give her a try and looked online for her best portrayals. Gail Simone's run kept coming up. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Everything (the art, humour, action, serious/emotional moments, etc.) is fantastic. Simone made Wonder Woman everything she was meant to be and I couldn't be more in love with her. She undoubtedly takes top place on my list of favourite superheroes now. I'll be buying the others.

J'ai acheté ce livre en format relié pour l'offrir, et la personne n'a visiblement pas été déçue ! Je cite :
« Wonder Woman The Circle est un excellent comics. Avec Gail Simone nous pouvons être sûrs que l'héroïne sera sous son meilleur jour. D'un anglais facile d'accès et d'un dessin de très bonne facture, L'Esprit de la Vérité, se retrouve, dans cette histoire, prête à tout pour sauver sa mère, cette dernière étant mis en danger par le pire type d'ennemis (ceux qui vous aiment) et elle a bien l'intention de casser du Nazi sur la route. Oui car il y a des Nazis et une escouade de Gorilles qui parlent (serviteurs de Grodd) et c'est génial. Au delà d'une très bonne histoire sur Wonder Woman, The Circle est ce qui se fait de mieux dans un comics, des personnages fidèles à leurs principes et à leur personnalité, de l'émotion due à ces mêmes personnages et à leurs relations, mais surtout du fun. »

Viele Leute glauben, Superhelden-Comics seien infantile Eskapismen, in denen die Heroen als Verkörperung von Allmachtsfantasien das offensichtlich Böse in seiner hässlichsten Gestalt einfach zu Brei prügeln. Tatsächlich liegen die Wurzeln dieses Genres in genau solchen Eskapismen (die sich übrigens auch schon in den Ritterromanen des Hochmittelalters finden), und in der Tat trifft genau dieser Kritikpunkt auf viele Comics auch zu.

Doch hin und wieder gibt es Autoren, die dieses Medium besser ausreizen können: statt sich von einer stumpfsinnigen Prügelei zur nächsten zu hangeln, kommt es dann zu zutiefst universalen Fragen über das Mensch-sein und die Ethik unseres Handelns, und aus den heroischen Pappkameraden werden archetypische Vertreter unserer Ideale, deren Charakterzeichnung zutiefst komplex ausfällt.
Genau dies gelang Gail Simone mit ihrer Interpretation von Wonder Woman: in ihren Händen wird aus der Amazone Diana mehr als nur eine Anziehpuppe in lächerlicher "Captain America"-Unterwäsche. Statt dessen präsentiert sich uns eine zutiefst komplexe Figur, eine starke Frau und Göttin, die weitaus mehr kann als nur auf Bösewichte einzudreschen.

Fünf Sterne für diese höchst gelungene, innovative Interpretation einer klassischen Ikone des Feminismus. Durch Gail Simones Feder wird Wonder Woman zu all dem, was sie sein kann.

New story about Wonder Woman, drawings by the Dodsens. Not especially remarkable, but if you like WW, you'll like that. Expect Green Lantern by the end. Not my favorite because it's so short and yet it mixes like 3 stories together.
