Penso che WW sia uno dei personaggi che stanno tentando di rinnovare di più... e non mi dispiace per nulla devo dire

WW ha bisogno in questo momento di essere un'ottima serie , prima di tutto

Mi sa che quella è proprio lo "snodo" della nuova Wonder Woman.. è un bel cambiamento rispetto a prima, stravolge completamente anche la figura di Hyppolita, ma secondo me in positivo.. nel senso che apre la strada a tantissimi possibili conflitti e nobilita Diana, se possibile, ancora di più.

Hear the music of Orpheus in WONDER WOMAN #7?

It's about to get hot as Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang take us to the depths of Hell in WONDER WOMAN issue #7 this March.

Remember the myth of Orpheus? Wonder Woman does. And we hope she's learned its lessons well as someone she loves is in Hell's clutches and she's about to head out on a rescue mission. But Hades has no mercy—even for family members–and doesn't intend to let her out of his domain without paying a price.

Now to reveal the incredible cover by Cliff Chiang:

Azzarello & Chiang Turn Up the Heat in "Wonder Woman"

For the past four months writer Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang have ramped up the stakes in DC Comics' "Wonder Woman," giving the Amazing Amazon a new father and a new mission protecting Zola, mother-to-be of Zeus' next child. With Zeus missing, Hera out for blood, a prophecy concerning Zeus' murderous plans for his children and a host of Gods about to descend on Paradise Island, Azzarello and Chiang have set up the drama at a breakneck speed -- and as they confided to CBR, things will only intensify in "Wonder Woman" #4.

With the explosive fourth issue on shelves tomorrow, Chiang and Azzarello shared an exclusive preview with CBR News, as well as speaking about their continuing work on "Wonder Woman." Though they stayed away from plot specifics the creative team touched upon their goals for the ongoing comic, which villain from Wonder Woman's past to expect in issue #4 and what Diana gains from having the Gods as both enemies and siblings


Azzarello and Chiang aren't letting up as "Wonder Woman" reaches its fourth issue

CBR News: "Wonder Woman" #4 is out tomorrow, which wraps up this first storyline, though Zeus is still missing. After establishing her new origin in the New 52, is #4 the launch pad into telling more adventure-oriented stories exploring Diana?

Brian Azzarello: That's exactly what we're doing. End of interview! [Laughter]

Cliff Chiang: Yeah, I think these first four issues have been about setting down the direction we're going to go in. We had to clear the decks with the origin to set up the bigger story that we have coming.

"Wonder Woman" is a comic that's always been tied to the Greek gods, but under the care of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang that connection is especially strong. What's been refreshing about this is their particular interpretation of the various gods. We'd seen a bit of this thinking from Greg Rucka and Matthew Clark during their stint on the book (with a redesign of Ares into a more modern look), but the pair take it to a whole new level with the new "Wonder Woman." And in many ways, it's a sign of their take on the book as a whole; it's very familiar, but at the same time is a refreshing spin on the ideas.

A lot of "Wonder Woman" #4 is dealing with the aftermath of last month's revelation that Wonder Woman is actually the daughter of Zeus. It was a nasty little discovery then, but Azzarello milks it for more than you would have initially expected. Both Wonder Woman and her mother Hippolyta deal with this information coming out in different ways, and it's a great contrast between the pair; Wonder Woman in a club, Hippolyta bracing herself for the inevitable visit from Hera.

The idea of Wonder Woman at a club might sound odd, but Azzarello makes it work; Zola's explaining to Hermes how Wonder Woman is using the experience makes sense, and more importantly it's the beginning of the fleshing out of Zola from plot element into character. This issue actually starts putting a lot of meat on Zola's bones, so to speak, and it's a refreshing change to learn more about her besides "mother of Zeus' next child." And as for the scenes on Paradise Island, well, let's just say that Azzarello and Chiang make this a thoroughly dramatic scene; both playing out, and then visiting again in the aftermath.

As the Greek god pantheon grows, each new interpretation stands out and feels like it's truly part of a greater whole. The new Ares is the most dramatically different from what we've seen before, both in appearance and personality. Once again, though, Azzarello and Chiang have thought this through in a clever manner. Even more than the appearances of Hera, Hermes, or Strife, with Ares it's hard to keep from shaking a real sense of danger as you read his scenes. He might not be the villain of the piece, but his undefeatable presence seeps through the page. If Azzarello ever has him declare war on Wonder Woman, it's going to be a conflict to remember.

Four issues in, Chiang's art is beautiful as ever. There are so many amazing moments here: the bloody handprint on Wonder Woman's face, the grumbly Strife at the bar, the clink of champagne glasses, the final splash page set on Paradise Island. Each one is just dripping with emotion, pouring Azzarello's ideas out to the reader in a way they can't ignore. Chiang's an amazing artist, and with each issue I'm that much more pleased and impressed with what he's doing here.

"Wonder Woman" just gets better and better every month, and I'm already mentally allocating space on my bookshelves for a collected edition in 2012. Thanks to Azzarello and Chiang, "Wonder Woman" isn't just good, it's a must-read. This is, by far, one of the roaring successes of the DC Comics re-launch.

A me questa serie stà piacendo.
In linea generale non è stata una delusione, ma il contrario.
Magari i disegni impressionano poco e alle volte mi ricordano vagamente dei manga (  ) però è un prodotto che ha una sua dignità.
