That master post of She-Hulk recommendations. When you have the time could you make one like that for Wonder Woman? I'd like to start exploring her books but don't know where to start. I'd be grateful for the help.

GLADLY

This is gonna be long I'm sorry.

Wonder Woman by Geroge Perez.

Arguably the best WW run. Rebooted the character and re-established her for the "modern" age. Hands down my personal fav comic of her and Perez's (RIP King) gets the character and his art is *chefs kiss*.

Wonder Woman by William Messner-Loebs

Admittedly not as good as it came after Perez, but its a fun and decent run on Wondy. She goes to space, works in fast food and lost the title of Wonder Woman and introduced Artimes. Tis gud.

Wonder Woman by John Byrne

This is one of the weakest runs on WW. Byrne's take on Wondy isn't great nor is it terrible. Tho his art is great and he introduces Cassie Sandmark and Hippolyta taking up the WW mantle for a bit so its worth the read if your a Wondy fan.

Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez

In my opinion one of the most underrated runs. Jimenez really has a good voice for Wondy and of course his art is fantastic.

Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka

Often regarded as the best modern run of Wonder Woman. I tend to dis-agree because the run gets de-railed by Infinite Crisis and its also the run that had Wondy snap Max Well's neck which was handled really well in the comic, but it ruined online discussion and perception of WW for years to come. Regardless it is really good.

Wonder Woman by Gail Simone

Pretty good stuff by the hit and miss Simone. One of the better books she wrote. Simone once again really gets the character resulting in a great WW run.

Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello

Now we gettin into the iffy stuff. Wonder Woman was not treated well in the New52 often written horribly out of character. Now you'd think that would carry over to her solo, but surprisingly it doesn't. Even though this book make a ton of major changes to Wondy like origin, making her the God of War (which I hate btw) and being the first book to really solidify giving WW a sword Brian Azzarello writes Wondy on point.

The book is a very different take on Wondy, but Wondy herself stays true to the core of her character for the most part. Coupled with great art and legitimately great stories ingrained in greek mythology I can indeed recommend it.

And since 2016 the book has been completely retconned so you can read this as an unintentional elseworlds story.

Wonder Woman by Meredith Finch

Unless you want to see the Amazons be rapists who kill infants.

Wonder Woman Rebirth (AKA the return of Rucka)

DC Rebirth oh how wasted you were.

Anyway Greg Rucka came back to Wondy essentially to clean house after the New52. He wrote the first 4 volumes and there the only ones worth reading really. You get some top tier art and a decent re-telling of Wondy's origin.

Wonder Woman by G.Willow Wilson and Mariko Tamaki

Read these if you want to be put to sleep.

Okay there not that boring, but there pretty average if not below average. If you want to read Wondy comics tread water then read these.

Wonder Woman by Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad

The current run on wondy as of right now. Aaaaaand its pretty good. After Wondy's death in Death Metal (don't worry about that she's fine) she in the afterlife in Valhalla? Interdimensional shenanigans ensue. It takes a bit to get going and the writing for Wondy is off a bit, but the art and premise is solid. It also had Wonder Woman's first even in decades called Trial of the Amazons which was also decent.

Wonder Woman Earth One

HOO BOY this ones a doozy. WW Earth One is a controversial book to say the least. Its a complete re-telling of Wondy like we've never seen before. It uses themes from Wondy's roots like bondage and the battle of the sexes and love. This book is not for everyone. Your either gonna love it (like me) or absolutely hate it. Its a book that one can very easily miss the point of.

Grant Morrison has a very distinct and passionate take on the character and like many of his books are thought provoking and interesting. I mean the book ends with a literal war with the sexes.

I do think the book is worth reading if your a Wondy fan. It might not be your cup of tea, but at the very least it should be a interesting read on a very unique take on Wondy. Also the art by Yanick Paquette is hands down some of the best art for Wondy ever. He's become my favorite artist for her. He draws her beautiful, strong and sexy.

The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman

A team up with Wondy and Brucey. With some cool mythological shit and some dope ass art by Liam Sharp this is an easy recommend.

Wonder Woman/Conan

A fun crossover between the barbarian and the Amazon. This was a few years before Conan went back to Marvel so technically this is an unofficial DC/Marvel crossover.

Sensational Comics Wonder Woman

This is gonna be a hard pass. Sensational comics should've been a companion book like Action and Detective, but instead DC made it into a anthology book with many different creative teams. It was also digital only. (yeah DC doesn't give Wondy any respect)

Because of this the stories range from good to absolute trash with some of the shittiest art you've ever seen published by the big two. Save the headache and don't bother.

Future State Immortal Wonder Woman

Future State was meh, but we got a decent Wondy book out of it. Jen Bartel's art make sit worth it.

That's about it. There's a few other books I haven't read yet like Wonder Woman Evolution and her silver and golden age stories. But these should get you going.

Happy readings.

In lieu of the new chapter (ch 7 if im not wrong) of book 2 I decided to jot down what Nora would have thought in the form of a very convenient headcanon:

dancing dancing dancing dancing okay seriously what is he supposed to accomplish with this. Trystan Thorne as king deserves to only know two things probably - nuclear codes and how to work a FUCKING COFFEE MACHINE BECAUSE WHY WAS HE PRETENTIOUSLY HAND BREWING EVERYTHING FIVE WEEKS AGO.

five weeks dang, that's how long I've known this idiot? Nah, it must've been at least 3 months.

Holy shit 3 months holy shit mags is talking to me, holy shit murder okay okay hyperfocus time

*focuses on Nadja, Juliana and comes up with like the most idiosyncratic theory because Nora is running on three hours of sleep*

Oh shit mags okay we're getting a dress? W H Y can I just get the suit please just fit shit into? Why. Are. Suits. Not. Okay. Please. Please.

mags, you're great but can I just stick to suits please thanks - they're versatile - okay great this suit works awesome

okay coronation time wtf why is he (Trystan) dressed like an absolute idiot, like what even is that -- thing? you might as well drape a sash around him and call him "new king!!!1!" with the "1"

this party sucks, Luke's right. There's not even a sketchy underground dealer guy handing you weird cocktails to try, what even are gloves?

Kidding, they're posh and the occasion calls for it! It's reasonable!

the food is .. fine.

okay the alcohol is STIFF yes. STIFF. *Sniffs aggressively*

Holy shit these are some pretty people. I'm just gonna go look mysterious in this corner and why is my hair so weird,, can't I have one decent hair day and HOLY SHIT these suits have pockets all right!

Okay, who's -- who in this place? Guy with crown, guy without crown, guy, guy, guy, okay. Not the killer. not the killer. Not the killer. Not the killer. No. No. No. No. No.

*extreme focused detective work*

[Princess Jia walks in] HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT SHE'S PRETTY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY NORA, calm down, calm down, serious what the fuck, okay, okay what the fuck not trying to be *spits rainbows* okay, okay, okay, Nora seriously, what the fuck?

[Olivia crushes her into a hug] I am dead. I'm literally dead. This is pretty people party. Me who? Detective? What's that even about? I REPEAT THE BI HAS BEEN CRISESED. Jesus fuckin Christ can someone just give me a goddamn break without whisking me away, I don't want to do this okay??????????? can I please just.. stay in a corner and not do anything

I don't even want murders, I just wanna go home and sleep by 9:30 IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK.

Secret meeting secret meeting secret meeting secret meeting secret meeting

*Olivia saying important stuff* yo the bush looks weird and why tf is Astrid there anyway okay, we need to be wary because we're smart but wtf Olivia looks great, she's washed up, is that a new necklace

SHE'S PULLING OUT THE DAGGERS, MARRY ME PLEASE.

okay seriously stfu Nora, it's done. The conversation is over.

Need to be very covert in telling Trystan about the information, oh he's good at this dancing stuff! Better than when he bumped into five umbrella cases back in the days.

Oh no, "back in the days"

Fuuuuck

Okay okay no panic no panic, y'know he'll be back anyway. It's all a sham. It's a sham coronation, sham trial, sham murder, shammy wammy timey wimey thing.

Dancing. We're dancing. I'm panicking over the time window and he's dancing.

Okay he's actually good at this. What even is that move? How did his spinal cords - yknow what we're not even going to ask.

He's an idiot. He might run this country to the ground.

No wait, he's smart. He's an idiot which is a very covert mask to conceal his true intentions and he's good at this because *insert 10-page essay here* and that's precisely why Trystan Thorne is the best thing to have ever happened to everyone.

Why do I like people with knives so much, I need to talk to that therapist girlie again? Becky? Madeline?

Okay seriously my guy, you cannot accomplish that very complicated dance in that godforsaken suit - holy shit he did it, that mfer did it. I'm actually baffled. The physics is just.. out of the charts. Okay no, Trystan seriously, we have an actual murder here, can we tone down the dancing

Where did the files go? Oh hey okay let's look at Juliana's again.

[Trystan expressing his heartfelt concern over the fact that he's being coronated in the room, pacing around and using profound words] yo the mirrors weird.

Holy shit Emika what are they talking about, Holy shit evidence stolen? Wtf? Okay okay Nora calm, seriously, WHY AREN'T YOU CALM, STOP DOING THIS TO YOURSELF seriously GET A FUCKING HERBAL SOOTHER OR SOME SHIT!!

okay okay I need meds, MEDS NOW AND COFFEE. MUST WORK TRYSTAN SERIOUSLY MY GUY, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO PANIC WHY AM I PANICKING

*internal screaming*

Okay here's what we're going to do, we're going to *insert elaborate plan here* [Trystan: "Erm, Nora, you look quite--" Nora: "The thing! It's the thing! Let's go go go go go!!"]

#nora being a disaster detective is exactly what i want #nora rose #nora x trystan #crimes of passion
