The art and variant covers featured in the back were the best parts of this book. I will confess this is the first time I have read a Wonder Woman book. I was almost hooked for several pages. We are presented with a new origin story, but throughout it there seemed to be something missing. Unlike the previous Absolute books I have reviewed this one lacked substance. Wonder Woman was kind and strategic but there really wasn't any motivation. Absolute Batman and Superman were fighting for noble reasons. Their world was dark and different but you could root for them. Wonder Woman basically had her origin story and then took charge of the present crisis. She knew everything and wasn't challenged enough.

I can't recommend this book. A comic book isn't just fantastic art. Its a story packed with adventure, miracles, and a character who struggles to prevail.
