Summary: An enjoyable read.
Comment: This trade paperback collects Wonder Woman #90-93 and #0.
Diana returns to Themyscira and it seems that her mother, Hippolyta (queen of the Amazons), thinks she is no longer fit to serve the role of Wonder Woman. Hippolyta says Diana has failed to positively act upon the most important role of Wonder Woman, fighting to end all acts of hate on Earth. As a result, a contest is held in which every Amazon is invited to compete to become the new Wonder Woman.
The story is very well-written by William Messner-Loebs. Here, he has given the characters of Diana and the Amazons a little depth. They have believable emotions, and not once does the story escape into camp. The only downside is that once the contest ends nothing seems to make sense. If you are not an avid reader of Wonder Woman and know nothing of her supporting characters, then the last ten pages of this book will be confusing. Hawkman appears, too, out of nowhere; I guess, his point was supposed to be revealed in later issues.
The art is absolutely incredible. The panels are fast and exciting, and the Amazons are depicted as strong but delicate, sexy but independent ... except for the many panels of "rears-in-the-air." These are just a little too blatantly sexual. They are unnecessary because the Amazons are just as sexy without having to be drawn in such a manner. But, I'm sure most fanboys won't mind.
Buy the book if you are looking for a great Wonder Woman story with the perfect balance of story and art, but don't expect an intro that explains what has happened up to this point.

Summary: Don't buy unless you read the Wonder Woman series.
Comment: I've never read a Wonder Woman book before. What I know of her is what I've read from JLA, Superfriends, The 1970s Wonder Woman TV show, and the Justice League. This book reads as if it's incomplete. It does a fine job with the characters from Wonder Woman's home island even though they all look like and sound alike (ok, a few have different color hair)... but we are definitly missing a number of pages in the beginning and unless you read the series, you are lost at the end. I was looking forward to a good introduction to the series, but if this is how the series reads, I don't think I'd be interested in reading more.
