Which leads them to createing the Amazons, however Hera Queen of Gods isn't present. Referencing Greek and Roman mythology and featuring gorgeous art by Phil Jimenez, Kelly Sue DeConnick has written Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, a new saga chronicling the history of Wonder Woman's people. The artwork and story is fantastic with my favourite book being the third (the issues are called books in this volume).

With each warrior wearing a unique suit of armor and armed with deadly weapons, the Amazons brave the ancient world to rescue women from slavery, and in the process meet a midwife's assistant named Hippolyta. Refusing to see women denied justice, six powerful Goddesses secretly create the Amazons. Back in 1941, amidst WWII, William Marston created the DC Comics Superhero Wonder Woman.

-Non Spoiler Review-This is a collection of the first three issues of Historia: The Amazons, it is a new original telling of the Amazon's origins and therefore Diana's as well. The media could not be loaded. Over 80 years on, Wonder Woman has been saving the day in comics, on TV, and on film. There is one negative I have however, it's nothing to do with the comic itself but instead the scan of the book.

I recommend purchasing the digital edition of this volume instead of physical if scanning errors are a big deal to you as it is a very well thought-out and executed story with such amazing art, I mean just look at it! . It starts out with displaying the injustice woman face in ancient Greece and the Goddesses have taken notice and decided to take action.

But no one has mentioned the story of Diana's people, the Amazons, until 2021. The volume starts off a little hard to follow however it picks up in the second half of the first volume and doesn't stop. Published in celebration of Wonder Woman's 80th anniversary, Historia: The Amazons is guaranteed to please fans old and young.

In the first photo I linked there is a lighting bolt but if you look closer you can see there's a clear line along and across the bolt that shouldn't be there, and there are also smudges along the white margins of the comic throughout not on every page but it is noticeable.
