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

DC Universe Rebirth Wonder Woman Vol 1: The Lies by Greg Rucka (Writer), Liam Sharp (Artist), Matthew Clark (Penciler), Sean Parsons (Inker), Laura Martin (Colorists), Jeremy Colwell (Colorists) Jodi Wynne (Letterer)


Wonder Woman doesn't know what the truth is anymore. Was she fashioned of clay or is she the product of the union of her mother and Zeus?  She wears the Helm of the god of war but did she get that from when a sailor crashed on the island asking for help and she was chosen to go fight Ares and in killing him became the god of war?  Her lasso tells her all the memories she has are true because she believes them to be true.

Olympus has been changed over to something guarded by Hephaestus and his creations.  Or to find her way back to the island, Themyscira, so she is in search of someone who can help her: Barbara Ann.  She is living in the jungle wilds and has been cursed and turned into the Cheetah by the god Urzkartaga who was looking for a bride, but hasn't been happy with what he has.  He turns women into worshipers of him and sacrifices the men as meat to eat.

Steve Trevor and his men are in country where Wonder Woman is, trying to capture a man named Cadulo who is kidnapping young women.  Cadulo is working for Urzkartaga and plans to be his vessel for his body, but they don't know that.  They're planning a rescue mission for the young girls and are wondering what Wonder Woman is doing there, though they think she's there to help them.  Then things go south for Steve and the guys as Barbara Ann and Wonder Woman try to plan a way to take down Urkkartaga.  This book connects with past books written like The New 52! Wonder Woman Series.  It ends on a real cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.  The complex relationship between Diana and Steve is really great as is the one between her and Barbara Ann.  Wonder Woman is in a very dark place right now and will need help to find her way out.  On top of that something shady is going on within the organization Steve works for that his boss Etta must try to figure out.  This was a stellar comic. I give it five out of five stars.
