Where to Start Reading Wonder Woman Comics | Best Wonder Woman Comics in Collected Editions!

[@raizen3]

It's amazing we don't have a Greg Rucka Omnibus. And I wait every week for news about a Gail Simon Omni Reprint. That book goes for crazy prices. Thanks for the video Omar, a lot of things I did not knew about. Awesome as always.

[@a.a677]

Need that reprint so bad D:

[@marcosperez3151]

Is "Down to earth" the start of Rucka's run, or is it the DC Rebirth Universe that start of his run?

[@McDuendis]

I've been told today that Simone's is coming by november 2023 ... $100.

I can't believe DC hasn't published a Greg ruck WW omnibus

Wonder Woman is my first & last comic hero, she’s how I started reading comics & I’ve loved her since I was a little kid. I honestly watched this thinking I’d read most everything & to gauge an idea of what Omar saw as the key starting point thinking it would just run from Perez onwards, awesome to see the breadth of her history recognised & even as a long time fan there were titles I missed or collected editions that expand on what I already own. Thanks for such a passionate in-depth overview of the Amazing Amazon! 🙏🏼🤩

[@Qwarky]

God, Greg Rucka's run was so freaking good. It's one thing to portray Diana as just powerful and badass, but to also manage to show how much of a PRESENCE she has when she's in the room, how much she has grace and mercy and kindness and wisdom. Diana as a super hero but also an ambassador and diplomat was such an irresistible combination, and I loved all the gods in modern clothing, still scheming and being petty and unreliable.

[@bunkmastab]

Cincinnati Oktoberfest? Nice, I'll see you there for some stein hosting. The "My mom is my favorite Amazon" was adorable, well done

[@leorivers7759]

Your enthusiasm is contagious... now my must haves have broke my bank.... into the 6th Volume era.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you for the kind words. I hope you are enjoying the stories!

[@TheUnstoppableBar]

Thank you for this video Omar!! Have been waiting for something for Diana

I thought of you when he did this since you are on his Patreon.

[@austinstedwell9095]

I was lucky enough to get the volume 1 omnibus by george perez. Looking forward to it. 😌

[@peterx1957]

Hey Omar, thanks for this guide to WW. It will be invaluable. I own the 3 George Perez Omnis and some other stories here and there including the Absolute by Azarello. The "Spirit Of Truth" was collected in the gorgeous Absolute Edition of the "World's Greatest Super Heroes". You've given me some more to seek out. Cheers mate. 👍

[@NearMintCondition]

Much love back to you my friend!

[@coyley72]

I’ve only read the Azzerello and Chiang Omnibus. I thought it was brilliant. Chiang’s art is amazing.

[@EcopiuM]

I just finished pretty much catching up from the start of rebirth to now. Have bever read her stuff before and thought there was some really great stuff there and some amazing art. Looking forward to now going back to Perez and reading all the material between then and rebirth, maybe dipping back into the Diane Prince stuff for fun.

[@TheManOfSteelV2]

Ahhh I am wanting to jump into Wonder Woman, and was looking into where to start and was gutted you didn’t have a reading order or a where to start…. And then this drops!! Love it haha! Thanks

[@KennethKralyJr]

Great list Omar I love Wonder Woman Diana Prince so much and own many of the collected editions in the video my favorite are the George Perez run and the DC Rebirth era of Wonder Woman !!! Keep up the great work Omar with your videos !!!

[@hotricky1976]

William messner lobes’ run is my favorite!

[@Josh_Greathouse]

Great, now I wanna read another book haha. A League of One sounds fun

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

My only WW I currently have in my collection is some of the Rebirth run. Year one is simply amazing and the art is simply stunning. A great jumping on point.

[@OrangeGeemer]

There is a 60's Omnibus??!!!! I had no idea! .... I'm ordering one right now :)

[@McDuendis]

Nice, I was expecting this one. I saw the other in 2019, I think, so a refresh is very good. ¡Buenísimo! 😀

[@nopeynope12345]

Would love to see you do a complete Wonder Woman reading order like you did for Green Lantern or Batman

[@fabritz1891]

Nice! I have War of The Gods Omni.. can’t wait for GP reprints.

[@Krypton_Ken]

Nice thing about Wonder Woman is that she has several really accessible jumping on points. My favorite is definitely George Perez, that's the GOAT as far as I'm concerned. Second for me is probably Azzarello and Chiang, love that run, it's super easy to get into. Third is Heinberg and Dodson's Who is Wonder Woman story arc, much more continuity heavy but worth it, especially if you like Donna Troy. Although being a Donna Troy fan is like having a doctorate in DC continuity, her personal history has always been a mess, but a wonderful one.

[@jacoblapalme9024]

Love this these video!!

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much!

[@Krypton_Ken]

Right there with ya knocking on wood for that Who is Wonder Woman deluxe edition, I love that story and was so disappointed when it got canceled. Fingers crossed it happens this time.

[@dianadevera6937]

I love your video! I've been tinkering with buying the Perez Onmibus However, Wonder Woman's mother's name is pronounced Hip-pol-la-ta It was driving me crazy while watching 😊😊😊😊 Thanks for the video!

The video was very helpful and made me commit buying the Brian and Chiang omnibus and War of the gods omnibus

I started reading george perez run few weeks ago just because his artwork

Not a Wonder woman story, but props to Wonder Woman in Death Metal. 🤘

[@La-Comics-Cave]

Wonder Woman by Perez is my favorite one by far but I’m not sure this is the best way to start reading Wonder Woman. I’d rather recommend starting with Rucka or Azzarello

[@flimtok]

Why is it a bad place to start?

[@Stephen_D421]

Perez omni 1 is the only run I have read... it was good with a couple of great issues. What did you like more grom the other runs.

[@twistedtheorist749]

DC needs to give William Loebs a lot more love. Both his Wonder Woman and Flash need Omnis.

I’d really like to get into Wonder Woman. I tried Hiketeia by Rucka based on ur recommendation Omar. It was really good 👍🏼 When oh when will they put out Wonder Woman Omnis by Greg Rucka???

[@BladeStar-uq6xe]

I am just buying Wonder Woman Graphic Novels these days. A Lot of them. See, I started reading Comics in 1964 and my Uncle had a Huge Comic Book Collection, thousands of Comics from 1940 to 1963. Including many Wonder Woman. I'm talking about kinky Marston ones! The Sexual stuff went over my head in 1964. I wish my mother hadn't burned them in 1976 when I was in the Navy. So I am now trying to get examples of all eras; Golden Age, Silver Age, Rebirth, even New 52. I'm even writing Clean Fanfiction, 2 Villains from our time who are disciples of Ares go to 1940, because the only thing that can be changed is the Super Hero Community. Ares Rex and Dr. Gion (Giovanni) are trying to enhance Wonder Woman's enemies, starting with Priscilla Rich, the original Cheetah. But they in turn are pursued by Questar, the Hardcore Hero who gets to Wonder Woman first. They meet saving British women who are captured by Afghan terrorists and escape to Cairo where the British Army was in 1940.

[@hamzadawud]

Thanks for all that you do, Omar. Do you think the Denny O'Neil stuff, when she lost her powers and started doing judo, is worth reading? I've been tempted to get the Omni any time I saw it for a decent price, lol.

Wonder woman in dark knight death metal or metal worth it?

Can someone give me a more specific collection where to find the wonder woman no more series? Having a hard time figuring out what exactly that whole series is.

The William Mesner Loebs series? That can be found in the WW by Loebs trade or the Wonder Woman By Deadato trade.

@@NearMintCondition So is the Challenge of Artemis a different thing or just a reissue? It has the same cover, that's why I'm confused. Also relatively new to collecting, sorry about the ignorance. Thanks for the response!

It’s okay and no need to apologize. They have so many of the same issues and it gets confusing. Challenge of Artemis is volume 2 of WW by Loebs. So that’s what you are looking for/

[@SPRIGGANX02]

@@NearMintCondition So the William messner loebs run...it starts with, "The last true hero", then "Ares Rising" and ends with the Mike Deodato stuff 90-100?

Omar i just think the dc is missing the opportunity to publish the Firestorm run, could publish "the fury of firestorm" and "firestorm, the nuclear man". but dc just keeps messing around. anyway, let's hope hugs my friend, stay in peace.

[@derekgreen7319]

I cant understand why DC passes over certain omnibus editions like the Greg Rucka run.

[@OrKkTeKk]

Something to ponder. Why is Wonder Woman the only tentpole charachter allowed to kill.

[@Ragamuffin-Guesses-cgc-grades]

League of one does come in hardcover.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you!

[@OrangeGeemer]

Does anyone now if wonder woman was ever read by a mainly female audience???

[@thakidreese6043]

How come Wonder Woman doesn’t have a lot of iconic comic books like Batman, Superman, or Spider-Man but she is still popular?

[@hamzadawud]

Longevity?

[@HansYuan]

Your question is backwards. Wonder Woman is nowhere near as popular as Superman, Batman and Spider-Man. Those three are the top selling comic books of all time (4 and 5 are X-Men and Captain America). Wonder Woman doesn't even break the top 10. So she has fewer iconic stories and she is also less popular. It's also important to note that "less popular" doesn't mean "not popular". She *is* clearly popular, you just can't compare her to literally the top 3 selling characters. So I would say that Wonder Woman has exactly the number of iconic stories proportional to her own popularity, including Gods & Mortals, The Hiketeia, the New 52 run, among others.

[@Matthew.E.Kelly.]

She actually does, there's just a handful of issues with high ROI for investors as compared to Spider-Man (who has *hundreds* of potential investment books & dozens far out of reach for all but the most devoted collectors/investors), Batman (who has scores of both) & Superman (who has dozens of both). Really the Silver Age Wonder Woman issues have the highest fair market values, apart from a couple random covers by Peréz & Bolland. We're talking books worth $10,000+ vs. her first appearance, which just sold earlier this year for over $1 million, compared to $100-200 books. So, that's the long answer. The short answer is there are tons of high value issues of Wonder Woman, but the best copies of them stay in the hands of investors & portfolio managers 🤷 us working class folks will never be able to afford a $100,000 comic, let alone a comic worth 10x that. Hope that answers your question.

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

I’d say is the symbolysm of what she represents. I know women in my family that consume WW merchandise and have not read a comic book in their lives. So even without the iconic comic book stories, WW is still a money generating machine. The old TV series were also pivotal in increasing the popularity of the chracter.

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

The tv series and films have made a big difference.

[@ProfessorEchoMedia]

It’s definitely a compelling and strong recommendation for all things WW, but it still doesn’t sell me. I have just never found the character to be very interesting. All the origin stories and changing appearance just seem kind of desperate to me as if DC can’t admit she’s a lesser character and doesn’t transcend so much of the inherent silliness. I love female superheroes, but WW has never attracted my imagination. The backstories and mythology of her in the DC universe seems overwrought. But this was still a good video.

[@thebilldozer7970]

Thats certainly an opinion.

[@Kinvarus1]

@@thebilldozer7970 I certainly wouldn't say she's a lesser character but I would say that sometimes it does feel like DC treats her as...well let's put it this way DC's Three Main poster characters are Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman but sometimes it doesn't feel like she's one of the top 3 in comparison to Superman and Batman with the 4th spot onwards being more open as to who fills those spots. Personally I would say that after Supes, Bats and WW, The Flash would be DC's No 4. However with that being said sometimes it feels like Flash is the Number 3 and Diana takes the 4th spot outside of a Crisis event or JLA specific, at least that's the feeling I've gotten. Not saying she's a bad character because she's not, just that for one of the Main 3, she doesn't always feel like it in comparison.
