    Wonder Woman

    Character » Wonder Woman appears in 8805 issues.

    The Amazon princess, blessed with god-like super abilities, Wonder Woman is one of Earth's most powerful defenders of peace, justice, and equality and a member of the Justice League. She is considered an archetype for many heroines outside of comic book. Her initial origin depicted her as a clay baby brought to life by patron goddess Aphrodite, but in recent years she has been depicted as the daughter of Zeus and Amazon queen Hippolyta.

    I recently started reading comics and fell in love with Diana. What are her best stories? I'm already reading her current run and I love it.

    Odyssey's a good fun read.

    As for what got me into Diana, Greg Rucka's run is brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyable and one of the first of her books I read. Though you may want to start with Perez's run and then move on to Rucka.

    @razzatazz is like a Wonder Woman Guru and would definitely have more to say on the subject :)

    That's a good suggestion; start with the Perez run, than advance towards the runs in the 2000s, and than see which run really sticks to with you. In the 90s, it was Messner-Loebs for me, but I remember Perez, Byrne, Priest, Luke, etc.

    New 52 isn't that bad imo. Its very mythos heavy though which isn't for everyone.

    I love the New 52 series. Unfortunately people aren't allowed to have opinions on the Wonder Woman forum

    That's right! There used to be three gurus, but I banned the other two ... it wasn't easy either, planting all that evidence.
