Over the course of the years, Wonder Woman had to face several challenges including villains and wars but she has never forgotten what matters the most: People.
As the name says it, this a special gathering several creators familiar with the character of Wonder Woman and each one of them has a little story to tell about what their interpretations about her.
The special opens with a story written by both Rafael Scavone and Rafael Albuquerque suited in the middle of World War II about Wonder Woman fighting Nazis and is pretty solid by playing with the roots of the character. Albuquerque's pencils bring the best in terms of storytelling as usual.
A beautiful looking tale follows written by both Brenden Fletcher and Karl Kerschl about Diana chasing a hunter, Fletcher pretty much lets Kerschl's art tell the story and works wonderfully because of it thanks to the beautiful style.
Mairghread Scott contributes with a story and despite that I had my own complaints with some of her Transformers work, I have to admit she got the character right in this encounter against Giganta by playing with some really accurate themes about compassion from the heroine. Riley Rossmo's artstyle was also quite fitting for it.
There's an interview between Lois Lane and Diana written by Greg Rucka with a few scenes drawn by Liam Sharp. Is an interesting way to learn more about both characters and it certainly delivers what you would expect from the writer.
Sharp himself handles his own little take about Wonder Woman looking for home and is more of a poem but sadly is not one of the best I've read.
Fabio Moon writes and draws about Diana an inspiration and the cartoony tone fits the segment nicely.
Marguerite Bennett does a similar job as Sharp with a little written song instead but is a bit more successful at it. Marguerite Sauvage draws the double-page spread and her style is clearly fitting for the DC Bombshells Bennett is writing about.
Renae De Liz offers another story about Diana dealing with a villain in her typical ways. Is decently told but not particularly impressive. Same opinion on the art.
The section handled by Jill Thompson fares much better thanks to her beautiful style and creativity. This is a prologue for Wonder Woman: The True Amazon and makes me intrigued for it at least.
Hope Larson brings a surprisingly entertaining story focusing on Diana and Etta in a mall dealing with pretty silly supervillain but is all in good fun. Ramon Baschs' cartoony style complements the story nicely.
Gail Simone delivers the last tale about Diana teaming-up with Superman to defeat Titano while helping a fangirl to make her dream come true and is just as enjoyable as it sounds. Colleen Doran handles the artwork and her vibrant style is quite nice to look at.
Overall, this was an enjoyable special and shows how much love these creators have for the character. Hope to see more of most of them.
