Wonder Woman, Vol. 3: The Circle

Today's post is on Wonder Woman, Vol. 3: The Circle by Gail Simone, Terry Dodson (Illustrator), Rachel Dodson (Illustrator). It is 160 pages long and is published by DC Comics. The cover has Wonder Woman on it. The intended reader is someone who likes superheroes, Wonder Woman in particular. There is mild foul language, no sex, and action violence in this comic. The story closely follows Wonder Woman but moves around as needed. 

From the dust jacket- Gail Simone, acclaimed writer of BIRD OF PREY, SECRET SIX and more, unveils her own unique vision for Wonder Woman in this hard-hitting graphic novel. This title includes Simone's first tales of the Amazon Princess. Along the way, readers will learn what deadly secret the mysterious Circle holds about Diana's birth. Plus, the reformed Secret Society of Super Villains invades Paradise Island, led by the dread Captain Nazi. Collecting issues #14-19 of her hit series!

Review- A interesting four issue run about some history of Wonder Woman around her birth and a two more issues about an alien invasion on another planet and Diana being their champion. Each issue starts in the past around Diana's birth and how it changed her home. The rest of the issue is about Diana trying to get to her home to protect her mother and the other Amazons. The art is fantastic, I love how Dodson draw Diana with a strong jaw, muscles, and beautiful blue eyes. She looks every bit a goddess and warrior. Last two issues the story was interesting but the art was not as good. Gail Simone is a wonderful writer and she knows her Wonder Woman. Simone understands that Diana is a complex character with deep passions and a drive to live up to her name. I look forward to reading more of Simone's work. 

I give this comic collection a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this collection from my local library.
