Wonder Woman #1

She just went through a re-imagining of her origin (which I didn't like) so I wasn't looking forward to another one. I was wrong. Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman is not the naive girl that George Perez gave us in the 90's. This Wonder Woman is the warrior woman. The one that's ready to take charge and get out there.

He's keeping the Greek mythology in the series as well. It looks lime it's going to be the first arc. With Hera (I can tell because of the peacock cloak) hunting down a concubines of Zeus. Apollo (a sun of a king) making prophetesses to answer his questions and Hermes running the errands it's making myths modern. Exactly what the new 52 is trying to do!

Things I liked: Diana's attitude, from jumping right in, introducing herself as only Diana and her unconcern of nudity were all really well done.

Things I didn't like: c'mon! He can't kill Hermes in the first issue!
