Set Description:
Information for this series covers issues 1-83, 750-757 as of 19 Oct 2020
******************************************************************************************************************************************
With all the covers this series has produced the most sought after covers are those by Jenny Frison.
Jenny Frison is a Harvey Award-nominated illustrator and comic book artist. She received her BFA in Illustration from Northern Illinois University and later attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Arts.
Beginning with issue #7, she has regularly provided variant covers for Wonder Woman v5, replacing Frank Cho. She also provided the cover for Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #15 and poster art for the Wonder Woman 75th Anniversary Special.
Frison cites being "really affected" by Cheetah on the Prowl as a major influence on her career: "It was illustrated by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano. It was pre-Crisis Wonder Woman and it totally doesn’t count because it was a storybook . . . not a comic. But it definitely began a lifelong love of Wonder Woman . . . which directly influenced my future career choices!" In the same 2012 interview, she stated she had a lifelong love of Wonder Woman and explained that her "dream job is just to make covers for a book with really interesting and layered characters in which I have a lot of creative freedom and control over." She counts Alphonse Mucha (and the entire art nouveau movement), Joao Ruas, James Jean, Kevin Nowlan, Adam Hughes, Brian Bolland, Amy Reeder, and Rebekah Isaacs as her artistic inspirations.
**The Holy Grail of covers to get for this series would fall to the Rebirth 1 Gold Foil Convention Edition, 2nd Printing issue. Issue has art from Jim Lee on the cover and the issue was given out to only the people that attended the DC panel at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con. The silver foil cover printing is the 1st print from SDCC as well, but easier to find.
******************************************************************************************************************************************
With the book coming out bi-monthly, several story arcs are featured as the odd numbered issues while a different story arc is featured as the even numbered issues. This was done to help the writer and artists meet a monthly deadline instead of a bimonthly deadline with DC comics.
******************************************************************************************************************************************
Misc. Information on this Series:
*Issue 34:
For Wonder Woman #34, DC decided to commemorate the character’s journey thus far by celebrating this issue as Diana’s 700th adventure, disregarding the various reboots all the company’s main lines have undergone through canon changes and issue renumbering. To make this issue even more special, they’ve enlisted Terry and Rachel Dodson, to design a variant cover worthy of the Princess of Themyscira. The 700th issue falls in line with what is referred to as “legacy numbering, which takes us back to the book’s numbering before The New 52 reboot. Both Action Comics and Detective Comics reverted back to this numbering system during the rebirth launch.
*Wal-Mart released two separate packs of 3 DC comics. One Pack has issue 1 with the regular issue 1 cover but without the price on the cover. The other 3 pack is issue 1 but with the regular cover for issue 2 on it and again no price on the cover.
*In 2017 Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) produced 7 variants to give away free to collectors, with a print run of 5,000 for the 6 different titles by comic shops:
-Special Edition 1 with a white block in bottom left corner for the store stamp
-Madness Games & Comics Edition
-Midtown Comics Edition
-Mile High Comics Edition
-Heroes Convention Edition
-Emerald City Comics Edition
-Third Eye Comics Edition
*In February of 2018 DC dropped Rebirth from the title on the cover and called it just Wonder Woman starting with issue #36
*In September of 2018 DC increased the price from $2.99 per issue to $3.99 per issue starting with issue #50
*This series has release 3 Blank Variants; in December of 2018, issues 1 has not only a blank cover but all the interior pages are blank as well. Issue 58 only has a blank wrap around cover added to the regular issue. In March of 2020 issue 750 has a Blank Variant added to it as well.
*February of 2020 DC comics ended the current run on issue 83 and started the legacy number in March with issue 750.
*Issue 750 has as of this date 50 different covers, some being extremely rare:
Unknown Comics Kiat Ejikure Variant Cover Limited to 250 copies
The Comic Mint Shannon Maer Variant Cover Limited to 750 copies
Scorpion Comics Lucio Parrillo Virgin Variant Cover Limited to 1,500 copies
******************************************************************************************************************************************
Total Price I have paid to build this collection: $15,638.45
Estimated value that this collection is worth from www.gpanalysis.com: $24,181.00

My breakdown of issue 1
Writer Greg Rucka starts off issue one with an amazing story for the first arc called "The Lies Part One" and artist Liam Roger Sharp has done wonders for the story with his detailed art and coloring.
Issue one is two different stories both taking place in the country of Bwunda. We find Steve Trevor in a military operation that is being directed by Commander Etta Candy via satellite out of Langley Virginia. Steve is on a mission to find and apprehend a group of men terrorizing the country lead by a person named Cadulo who is on a murdering spree and kidnapping the woman from local villages. When Commander Candy discovers that Wonder Woman has been spotted within the country she accuses Steve of compromising security and asked if he told Wonder Woman, Steve denies doing so.
The second part of the story has Wonder Woman within Bwunda calling out to the jungle to an unknown person saying she will have the truth and nothing makes sense and is here to talk. Throughout the issue Wonder Woman says she will give three chances but is repeatedly attacked by werewolf looking creatures. After each successful battle Wonder Woman asks to be faced and listened to, finally at the end of the issue she is attacked on last time to find Cheetah on top of her. Wonder Woman says, “…Themyscira! I can’t find it, I can’t Find my way home. Barbara Ann, Please help me find my way back home.”
This was an amazing way to start off the first issue in DC’s rebirth for Wonder Woman. A few changes have been made such as Steve Trevor isn’t an Army Colonel but a Navy Master Chief. And Commander Etta Candy is now a slightly overweight African American military commander for A.R.G.U.S. Originally back in the Golden age of Wonder Woman Etta Candy was a young college student, Caucasian, extremely short and grossly overweight.
All in all I REALLY enjoyed this issue, especially with Greg Rucka writing it, keep in mind his last work on Wonder Woman was 10 years ago in Wonder Woman (Volume 2) #226. It should also be noted that this issues story arc will be featured in the odd number issues while the even numbered issue will contain a separate story line. This was done so that the two separate artists could make the 1 month deadlines to get the issue completed verses every two weeks since the issue is bi monthly.

The second part of the story has Wonder Woman within Bwunda calling out to the jungle to an unknown person saying she will have the truth and nothing makes sense and is here to talk. Throughout the issue Wonder Woman says she will give three chances but is repeatedly attacked by werewolf looking creatures. After each successful battle Wonder Woman asks to be faced and listened to, finally at the end of the issue she is attacked on last time to find Cheetah on top of her. Wonder Woman says, “…Themyscira! I can’t find it, I can’t Find my way home. Barbara Ann, Please help me find my way back home.”
This was an amazing way to start off the first issue in DC’s rebirth for Wonder Woman. A few changes have been made such as Steve Trevor isn’t an Army Colonel but a Navy Master Chief. And Commander Etta Candy is now a slightly overweight African American military commander for A.R.G.U.S. Originally back in the Golden age of Wonder Woman Etta Candy was a young college student, Caucasian, extremely short and grossly overweight.
All in all I REALLY enjoyed this issue, especially with Greg Rucka writing it, keep in mind his last work on Wonder Woman was 10 years ago in Wonder Woman (Volume 2) #226. It should also be noted that this issues story arc will be featured in the odd number issues while the even numbered issue will contain a separate story line. This was done so that the two separate artists could make the 1 month deadlines to get the issue completed verses every two weeks since the issue is bi monthly.

We find Steve Trevor in a military operation that is being directed by Commander Etta Candy via satellite out of Langley Virginia. Steve is on a mission to find and apprehend a group of men terrorizing the country lead by a person named Cadulo who is on a murdering spree and kidnapping the woman from local villages.

My breakdown of issue 2
Issue two starts off a new story arc called Year One Part One and the entire issue takes place possibly over the course of a year hence its title, but no definite description is given to the lengths of time passing for two different stories within this issue. One story is centered on Wonder Woman before leaving Themyscira and the other is with Steve Trevor.
Let’s start off with Steve Trevor’s storyline; his story starts off on a mission making friends with a fellow soldier named Nick. As time passes they start being close friends double dating and partying. Before long Nick gets married, then we Steve holding Nicks newborn daughter as the Godfather for Nick and his wife. Eventually more time passes and Steve and Nick get on a military transport plane for a mission.
Parallel to Steve’s timeline throughout the issue is Diana of Themyscira and her story unfolding as the Princess to the Queen excelling in her studies and combat. We see her in this story coming upon a mysterious tree she’s never seen before (this important to future story lines) and bitten by a snake from it. She gets mysteriously sick and over time mysteriously heals back. During one evening of lessons on astronomy she discovers a Nova then notices a ball of fire crashing to the beach of the island. As the Amazonians rush to scene, they find the wreckage of a plane crash with all but one of members including Nick dead; the sole survivor of course is Steve Trevor as he is badly injured and asking for help.
Greg Rucka’s story telling is amazing and a great way to start off the arc with a flash back of the origin story of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor meeting. The art for me was hit and miss, some panels had been done very well with great detail, while others had been lacking. The coloring I feel could have been slightly better.
One Quote from this issue I rather enjoyed was by Wonder Woman, “I can see the beauty of the heavens, I can see the poetry in their motion. But all we do is bear witness. All of you remember before, Kasia. You can recall the world you left, even if the memories of it bring you pain. I've never seen what lies beyond our shores. Do you really wonder why my eye goes to the horizon instead of the skies?” I feel that this really sums up the story being told about Diana in this issue.

******************************************************************************************************************************************
My breakdown of issue 3
Issue 3 returns to Bwunda, The Lies Part Two story arc with a continuation of Steve and his soldiers tracking down Colonel Cadulo deep in the jungle what appears to be the home for Urzkartaga along with the missing villagers caged in what appears to be as a sacrifice or/and food for Urzkartaga and Steve is ready to set them free.
Wonder Woman is asking Barbara Ann (Cheetah) for help in finding Themyscira, yet Cheetah is reluctant and blames Wonder Woman for being what she is. Wonder Woman Reminders her that it’s her fault and she made her own decisions and even tried to stop Barbara from becoming Cheetah. After the two run from Urzkartaga and his minions, Cheetah agrees to help Wonder Woman on the condition that Wonder Woman kills Urzkartaga to help set her free from her curse, Wonder Woman gives her word and the story concludes.
Again the issues storytelling, art and inking are amazing and I love how even though Cheetah cries and complains about her condition about always being hungry, Wonder Woman reminds her that she is a woman and to be strong and she’s a friend that will get her help. You feel for Cheetah’s plight and want to just keep reading more!

******************************************************************************************************************************************
My breakdown of issue 4
Story arc Year One Part Two takes off with a story we all know so well already. We are in Themyscira with the Amazons helping with Steve Trevor’s recovery, The Amazons try to decipher the meaning of the Gods for bringing a man to their island paradise and who will return him?
We see within the story the games in the arena of Amazons fighting for a champion that befalls to Princess Diana. They repair Steve’s plane and makes it invisible for safety while Diana emerges in her new outfit and given the golden lasso of truth to carry with her. Diana says her goodbye’s and departs for the world of men.
This issue was ok, I understand how it was needed to be printed in this volumes reboot of Wonder Woman but we have read it, seen it and know about it already for a long time. Mostly this issue seemed to be more of a filler issue, but understandable why they printed it. Nothing about this issue really stuck out or strikes a cord with me except maybe the panels talking about Steve’s Navy Seal patch and how it has Poseidon’s Trident in the eagle’s talons while the eagles head is bowed down as a symbol of how we don’t look for war but are ready for it when needed, similar to the symbolism of the eagle on the one dollar bill.
