My all time favorite DC heroine is Wonder Woman (a very narrow second place is held by Hawkgirl, 'bird nose' according to Solomon Grundy).
And as a massive load of you know DC New 52 has come out with a re-vamped more streamlined Wonder Woman story.
Azzarello, Chiang and Akins have done an incredible job, not just by the artwork, but the story is absolutely solid.
I seriously don't want to spoil any thing for those of you who haven't had the chance to read the new 52 story line.
Brief synopsis is that Wonder Woman has to confront many Olympian Gods & Goddesses for Zeus' throne.
There is also a very important prophecy that involves a mortal girl & her child.
The story line has twists, turns, allies, not so much mainstream villains, but more so contenders for the throne (this sounds a bit like a Game of Thrones episode! lol.)
Btw, they also revamped her origin story, which now makes her even more of a bad-ass than ever!!
There are pleasant & some shocking surprises as the story moves along. It moves about a good pace and there aren't many filler moments.
So, is it worth acquiring? DEFINITELY.
For any comic book enthusiast and specially for those who are Wonder Woman fans, this will make an incredible addition to your comic book library.
For those who are more than familiar with the New 52 and want to leave a comment, feel free to write it below letting me know what was your favorite part, and or whether so far have been enjoying it as much as I have!
P.S. Here are the titles of the graphic novels for those of you who are interested in acquiring:

ENJOY!!!
