Wonder Woman: Earth One

I liked it so much that it made me buy the Perez omnibus (I'd never read that version of the character before).

Orion was probably my favorite side character from that story. I'll have to revisit it again after I read all the Perez stuff.

The big thing about the Azzarello era was how Diana's character differed between her own series and her appearances in New 52 Justice League. It seemed to me like they made her a petulant teenage girl in JL.

has there been any talk of them continuing with a 3rd volume or is that it?

guess i should try re-reading my Vol. 1 again before i sell it?

It's more the traditional "disfigured" Croc than the giant Lizard rip-off. I really liked it.

And I liked Earth One Volume 1 a lot, too... the whole Gordon/Bullock dynamic and history was really cool. Also Alfred as a badass and Bruce learning. Penguin was great... only thing I didn't care about was The Birthday Boy. Completely forgettable.

i've been reading the series month to month from when it first came out.
it didn't really make a whole lot of sense to me, but i stuck with it for the entire run. it probably reads much better as a trade than spaced out like that?

was just contemplating if i should re-read all those issues? or sell just off the series?

It's up to you. I liked the trades when I read them, but it's so plot intensive that can see the reader getting a little lost when looking at it on a monthly basis.

I'm surprised monthly comics haven't completely gone away by this point. With very rare exceptions, I only buy trades and omnibi.

most of the trades i see are just collections of the Monthly Comics.
i guess they look at the sales to determine which come out in HC or TPB?

guess i'll try re-reading the first few issues back to back and see if i can get into it?
