Wonder Woman: The True Amazon by Jill Thompson
Wonder Woman: The True Amazon by Jill Thompson I had always heard about this graphic novel retelling the Themyscira young adult origins of Wonder Woman that was supposed to be very friendly to new readers. I was in a Wonder Woman mood after reading Absolute Wonder Woman, so I took a chance. The positives are the art. Jill Thompson is a very good painter and all of the illustrations are fantastic and reall give this comic more of a storybook quality. The redesigns of Wonder Woman and the rest of the Amazons are great and really unique. Unfortunately, thats where the positives end because this story by Jill Thompson leaves something to be desired. The twist is that this Diana grew up to be spoiled and then becoming Wonder Woman is how she learns to be better by saving and helping humanity. I don't really have a problem with that story arc, but the problem is with how its presented.Diana is so unlikeable and her ego results in some very bad things happening to her fellow Amazon...
