I had intended to briefly review each story in this anthology, but real life has been particularly bothersome in intruding upon my Goodreads time the past few weeks and now my loan of the book is minutes from expiring, and I don't have the energy or time to race through it or even renew it, especially since the book itself is just good enough to give a thumbs up but hardly worth much more effort than that.

There are ups and downs as with any anthology, but overall it's filled with nice, solid, upbeat little stories about Wonder Woman. The gold accents in the art underwhelmed for the most part, but at least they didn't clutter or mute the art as some colorists today do. I liked the mix of writers and artists, with first-class mainstream house stylists rubbing shoulders with the indy crowd.

Worth a look if you are a Wonder Woman fan. I wasn't too impressed with the current Becky Cloonan run I recently sampled, so this was a nice palate cleanser.
