Review
"Expect a lot more Wonder Woman fans after a few issues of this book."--USA Today
"This is clear storytelling at its best....It's an intriguing concept and easy to grasp. The reader doesn't need to know that much about Wonder Woman because she is, well, Wonder Woman."--The New York Times
"It's a different direction for Wonder Woman, but one still steeped in mythology, and I think this is the start of great things from Azzarello and Chiang."--The Onion/A.V. Club
"There's actually a lovely balance between being just wordy enough and going mute to let the art do the heavy lifting. And let me tell you, Cliff Chiang's art does said heavy lifting with nary a grunt. He handles suspense, gore, and action all with aplomb. His line-work is loose enough to avoid being static, and yet maintains a confident line."--Ain't It Cool News

Title: .0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Penultimate Chapter in a Great Epic
Date: Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2016
Review: Now this is what I was looking for in the First Born character! Those who read my review of the previous volume of this series may recall that I thought the First Born character was too one-dimensional; nothing more than a power-hungry brute of an antagonist. Right off the bat, this volume gives readers exactly what we (or at least I) wanted and delves into the history of the First Born, painting him in a sympathetic light as a neglected child of a HUGELY dysfunctional family. It was also a treat to see Wonder Woman struggle and eventually come to grips with her new role in the plot, further developing her already fleshed-out character.
The one drawback of this volume is once again Sudzuka's pencils in the front half of the book, but this time around it's not that much of one. While dissimilar to Chiang's, Sudzuka's pencils in this volume are very expressive and aid the dialogue of each character...to a point. There are a few panels where the expressions fly right past subtle and straight into the cartoon realm, but it's not enough to detract from the overall narrative. Also, I would like to point out that Diana looks absolutely bad-a$$ wielding that energy glaive in the climax of the volume.
With everything taken into consideration, this was a marked improvement upon an already great previous volume, and makes me more than excited to read the next and final volume of this creative team's run on the series.

Review: Collects Wonder Woman (2011) # 23.2, 24-29
Cliff Chiang - Art for # 27-29
Others - 23.2, 24-26
23.2 The Villains month issue - We learn the history of the First Born. A couple of interesting points - at one point, he ruled the entire world (exaggeration?) and he's the father of the hyena people. Ew.
24-29 This volume is primarily set-up for the next one. Since the "god will kill a god" prophecy has apparently been fulfilled, the gods are no longer concerned about Zeke. Apollo tortures the First Born for a bit, who eventually breaks free to cause more mayhem. Diana is now the god of war, but we don't see any ramifications of this yet. I won't mention a couple of surprises so they'll remain surprises. If you've been reading this far, you may as well continue to the end of the run.
Note: WW issue 23.1 featuring the Cheetah is not included in this volume, or any other book other than the ginormus

Title: .0 out of 5 stars I love this reboot of Wonder Woman
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2014
Review: I love this reboot of Wonder Woman, It's absolutely perfect from Vol 1 all the way to Vol 5. What people have to understand is, it's hard for a female lead alone to garner attention from males just as much as females. It's not that Wonder Woman plays second fiddle in her own comic, it's just that they are introducing WW's world to us so we can understand her new back story. So that we the readers can better understand her world and all the complex emotions and relationships with in it. As we fall in love with the other characters in WW's world, we better understand WW's motivation and deep desire to protect those that she loves. Her stories are so relatable because this is how we all are with our friends and family. Sometimes people we love make us mad, do unforgivable things and move in and out of our lives. This is especially true with family, these series of graphic novels have made me view WW no longer as a DC fictional power house, but as a big sister who watches over me from afar. I love WW and all that she is, it's stories like this that will bound me to DC forever.

Review: The amazing Wonder Woman series continues with more backstory for the First Born as he continues his mission to destroy the gods. As with other volumes, there is great action, worldbuilding, and characters. At the end of volume 3 Diana made the hard decision to kill Ares to prevent the First Born from doing so, but now, she wants anything but to take up Ares' mantle. Her arc and journey through this volume, realizing the inevitability of taking her old teacher's place, is pretty astounding to behold. It's a powerful and engaging page-turner, and cements this as one of the best New 52 series.

Review: this series keeps getting better! Brian Azzarello has crafted a complex story about WW and the side stories are also compelling. Never a dull moment. The series also gets... gorier, so be prepared.
Cliff Chang's vision for Wonder Woman is stunning.
Bravo!
