review:

Wonder Woman, Vol. 3: Iron collects 7 issues from the series into a larger story arc. Issue #0 is included here and it's a sort of origin story from Wonder Woman's past when she was about 13, and it is reminiscent of some of the classic original stories.



In the rest of the volume, Dianna has to save a baby that she may be related to, while battling and tentatively trusting other members of her family. This is a new attempt to bring Wonder Woman back into Greek mythology. We learn that Zeus is her father. Along the way, she is helped by Orion, from the New Gods. He is a welcome addition to this book, because while he has his own motives, they are clear and not hidden (like the rest of Dianna's family).



This is a strong Wonder Woman as she should be, but there are kind of a confusing amount of characters for new readers. Granted, this is Volume 3, so readers should take note. I enjoyed it, but confess to liking the initial story in the graphic novel much more than the rest of it.



I received this review copy from D.C. Comics and Netgalley in return for an honest review. Thank you D.C. Comics and Netgalley.
