What's going on? Lately, I've been collecting graphic novels of Wonder Woman after focusing just about my entire life on Marvel's X-Men. However, I'm disappointed in the storylines and artworks of Wonder Woman.
Admittedly, I got this book only because I was surprised to see Jodi Picoult penning a graphic novel for Wonder Woman. In *Love and Murder*, Special Agent Diana Prince has just been given an impossible mission. She's been ordered, along with her partner, to capture Wonder Woman.
The question is how is this possible?!?!
While figuring this impossible task, Wonder Woman suddenly finds herself battling against her Amazon sisters and her resurrected mother, Queen Hippolyta.
Ugh, how many times does Wonder Woman have to fight her Amazon sisters and get into it with her mother? Is that all Wonder Woman is good for? I found the storyline disappointing. However, I don't blame Picoult since I believe she's stuck with the storyline as it is a tie-in to another novel. She did her best to spice up the dialogues with humour here and there. Alas, it was not enough to do Wonder Woman justice.

I've never read any of Jodi Picoult's novels, so I can only judge her by what I read in this book. I like what I read. The humour is in the British style, leaning toward the droll. Anyone who is a fan of the "Danger Mouse" series will enjoy this book. I had issues with Tom Tresser - Nemesis - his repartee is juvenile. Having known the character since his inception I don't care for him as he is being written. This is not on Ms. Picoult - this appears to be the way DC is framing the character. Hopefully this aspect of him will be shown to be a facade. The repeat dialog bit (one character says a phrase that another repeats in a different context or setting) is getting old. I will give props for the bug that hits Nemesis in the face. That is the very first time I've seen that aspect of flying addressed. (I know - the reason most fliers are shown with their arms stretched out in front of them is that the splitting air creates a plane that acts as a windshield.) But rating Ms. Picoult as a comic author I'll give 5 stars. She states that she knew she was going to leave a cliff-hanger. She left a good one. It looks like she had fun. I would love for DC to hand her the reins again.

I must say I'm so glad I did not buy this book.
The main problem with this trade, I believe, lies in the lack of continuity. Not universe continuity, but within this small arc itself.
I have not read Picoult nor kept up on the Wonder Woman series, so I was unfamiliar with both the author and where Wonder Woman was in the DC Universe. Unfortunately, there was little to ground me. Picoult's writing, while at times amusing, jumps from action to humour with little transition. (Nemesis' innuendo continuously fell flat for me because of its placement.) While Wonder Woman struggles to find her identity, casual readers are left non-plussed and confused by the lack of explanation (there isn't even a summary page in the beginning) and the disjointed nature of the writing and the art. With numerous artist changes, there is no flow to the visuals from chapter to chapter. Not only is there no preface, there's no resolution.
I cannot say I enjoyed this book. It left me confused and a bit annoyed. I will NOT follow up with Amazons Attack.

I really enjoyed reading this. Terry and Rachel Dodson's art is excellent as always, and Piccoult's writing seemed pretty good to me. I've heard a few bad things about this series, but being a Wonder Woman fanatic but not much of a comic book reader I can't complain. This was my very first ever graphic novel and I thought it was really good. The Dodson's Wonder Woman is the most beautiful version of the Amazon princess I have yet laid eyes on.

Ms Picoult should not be blamed for the faults of this book. On its own merits it is a story that has humorous characterization done quite well. However, it does not really develope well as a story since the writer prior, Heinberg couldn't finish his five issues within even a years time leaving Ms Picoult to figure out how he was going to finish his work (which DC was allowing him to do and that would be published after the completion of Ms Picoult's work as a Wonder Woman annual)
Her story is further curtailed by having to fit her work to work with the atrocious Amazons Attack miniseries which was written by the writer of Catwoman, Will Pfeiffer. Ms Picoult is left not being able to write Wonder Woman achieving anything within the story as Mr Pfeifer wrote his series more as a Batman feature with the Amazons cast as villains.
It is a shame that the skills of Ms Picoult were so wasted as the glimmerings of her writing only show the poverty of situation in which DC Comics placed her. The cover of the book is sadly misleading in that it is using the desigh used on the cover of many of her books. Unfortunately, though her name is prominent on the cover, DC Comics did not allow her to use her capacities as a storyteller inside.
