Two issues in, and this series's spot amongst the pantheon of sequential greats is all but guaranteed. Read Full Review

DeConnicks re-imagining of the origin of the Amazons continues to refine a story that echoes back over 80 years to Marston and Peters original tale. Every time the story gets told again, its a bit different. This time around, it feels much more firmly rooted in ancient Greek mythology legends than it ever has before. (The issue even opens with prayers to the seven goddesses.) There is a powerful gravity to this history that echoes through the second volume in the series.  Read Full Review

Gene Ha delivers some stunning visuals on every page of this issue. There are stylistic choices that please the eye and evoke emotion from the reader. A stunning visual journey that had me enraptured. Read Full Review

As grandiose as its predecessor, Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #2 offers a satisfying and immensely compelling follow-up to one of the greatest opening chapters of the past several years. Read Full Review

If this series has one problem, it's that the parts involving the Amazons never quite mesh with the parts involving the Gods. The character of Apollo in particular, being set up as the greater-scope villain of the third chapter, comes off as little more like a whiny boy. But between the ambitious storytelling and the brilliant art, this is an unique book that's well worth a read. Read Full Review

Masterpiece again.

An excellent second issue.

George Perez tribute at the end was rather nice.

Historia captures the atmosphere of a Greek myth told through oral tradition. There's an exquisite attention to detail, with the feeling that every action carries a great consequence. This is comic that deserves its prestige label.

This was okay. The writing seemed a little more bland for some reason. Just felt like it lacked the grandiosity and epicness of the first issue. And obviously the art took a big step back, but I expected as much since nothing could've compared with the perfection Phil Jimenez treated us to. Taken on its own, Gene Ha's art is not bad, it's just much, MUCH weaker than Jimenez's, so it seems bad by comparison.

One nitpicky problem I had was it seems like Gene Ha just completely ignored Jimenez's character design of Hera from the first issue and decided to do his own thing, cause she looks completely different in book 2! She's decked out in a totally different wardrobe, her facial features seem radically different, and she's very clearly put on more than a few pounds for some strange reason. Just out of curiosity, I flipped ahead to peep on Nicola Scott's design in book 3, and it looks very similar to Phil Jimenez's, so I don't know what Gene Ha was doing. I honestly don't much care how she's supposed to look, but at least be consistent. more
