I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Who Is Wonder Woman? by Allan Heinberg (Writer), Terry Dodson ({Penciler), Rachel Dodson (Inker), Alex Sinclair (Colorist), Rob Leigh (Letterer), Gary Frank (Artist), Jon Sibal (Artist), and Dave McCaig (Artist)


After killing Maxwell Lord in self-defense, Wonder Woman steps down from the job and gives it to her "sister", Donna Troy.  But everyone is having a hard time accepting her as Wonder Woman and when she arrives at a museum she runs into Cheetah and Giganta who both want Diana. Diana, who has been following Donna around appears and fights with them but leaves when she realizes she is capable of killing them.  Donna is left behind for Dr. Psycho to work his magic on her mind and takes her with him.

Batman suggests to Diana that she go undercover and work for the Metahumans Affairs, who police those who are not humans.  She works with Nemesis, a master of disguise who does not believe he needs a partner.  They'll release Donna in exchange for Wonder Woman.  Only Diana cannot go blindly into a trap.  She needs help with this and the Metahumans Affairs don't seem interested so she must try the JSA, of whom Cassie, Wonder Girl, is not too fond of her right now.

This comic is really good in that is shows how Wonder Woman goes from being so harshly judgemental on herself about the death of Maxwell Lord and deserting her friends and family to deal with the fact that she had taken a human life, a death that had not been sanctioned by the gods.  This book shows how she claws her way out of that hole.  It proves how even the mighty Wonder Woman can falter but still find her way back.  Who is Wonder Woman?  I do believe this comic answers that question with gorgeous artistry.
