YAY - I love a good post-apocalyptic story, and Wonder Woman: Dead Earth was a good book - though not quite a great one. For me, it was about a 60/40, which is why it earned a Yay rather than a Nay.
What held the book back for me were the unresolved plot holes and certain situations that weren’t fully fleshed out or clearly explained. HOWEVER - What I appreciated most were the story’s thoughtful underlying messages: power can be used for both good and evil; forgiveness and compassion are the only ways forward; and people can change when they are given the chance. I also enjoyed the focus on Diana’s positive, optimistic outlook. That perspective felt very true to Wonder Woman and added an uplifting dimension to an otherwise bleak narrative.
DORK PLAN: I’m going to read one TPB a day from my 5,000+ strong TPB collection. I’ll post the one I read here the next day with a YAY or NAY, and maybe a line or two about what I thought. NOTE: Got a TPB you want me to read? Drop it in the comments! If I have it, I’ll give it a review.
