It all ends with two little stories that flash back across the entirety of Wonder Woman's time in the world of Man, and while there are definitely some good repercussions as a result of Rucka's run, there's so much left unfinished that I'm really a little disappointed. It's very strange that Rucka would do this, especially given that he was already writing an OMAC side-project anyway - I wonder if it was more editorially mandated than anything else? While we start strong with the infamous Maxwell Lord issue, the following stories are all ruled by OMACs and Infinite Crisis stuff, with all of Wonder Woman's solo plot lines pushed to the side in favour of these until right near the end. There's an issue in this volume called 'Nothing Finished, Only Abandoned' which I think really sums up the entire collection. Skip to Rucka's Wonder Woman run during the Rebirth era. Then it all ends with a tie-in miniseries from Blackest Night that takes place years later and comes out of nowhere.Īll of these stories are actually pretty good within the bigger events, but without context and on its own as a book, it's a pretty ridiculous read. Then it doesn't get much better with an admirable but foolhardy attempt to bring the main story to a close within the context of Infinite Crisis. The book begins with major tie-ins to the Superman: Sacrifice storyline and The Omac Project, but none of the other issues from those books are included, so, if you don't have access to those other books, the first few issues feel like one big confusing mess of organic robots, fights with Superman, and an evil Maxwell Lord. Not because the main storyline is worse (it's much of the same), but because the run gets hijacked big-time by the big build-up to Infinite Crisis. This third and final installment in Rucka's first Wonder Woman run is probably the worst read of them all.
