"Well, I've never read either Wonder Woman serials or Jodi Picoult, so i figured what the heck. Now its more like wtf? Interesting story, but even I could tellit was by someone who doesn't normally write in thegenre. Not a waste of time, but not something I'll go back and read again either..."
"Despite this being Wonder Woman I didn't enjoy it that much. Perhaps my enjoyment was spoiled because I accidently got this sodden before reading it so the art was not so shiny; or it could have been that I just wasn't in the mood for silly non-sensical fighting and simple-minded cliche enlightenments."
"I've never been a huge fan of Wonder Woman, but see, that's how far I will go for Jodi Picoult. She's the only author who's ever acutally made me cry. (It was My Sister's Keeper that did it-anyone else have that reaction?) So I'm a pretty big fan of hers. I was excited to hear that she would contribute a story for the Wonder Woman comics, making her one of the first female writers of the series. Since this is the second installment, the comic took me a while to understand. While there was a good introduction, it still took me a few pages to get the characters all sorted out, along with the basic plotline. (Then again, maybe I'm just a little slow...) Once it got going, though, I was interested. Wonder Woman becomes fully human as she struggles with anger, mistrust, loss, and betrayal. She may be descended from super-humans, but dealing with humanity can really be a headache, which I can completely understand... ;) I enjoyed, too, the usage of the mythical Amazons. I've always had a soft spot for Hippolyta, since one of my friends played her in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and we discussed her origins and background. (Shakespeare totally dumbed her down, BTW. Ugh.) I don't know if that's an original part of the Wonder Woman story, but I really don't care, because it was really fun. The dialogue, the artwork, and the storyline are all exciting and eye-catching, so much so that I'm thinking I'll stay with this series to see where it goes, even though Picoult won't be writing the next one. **sad face**"
"Over the course of my (self-confessed) nerdy life, I have found myself being compared to the "The Comic Book Guy" on more than one occasion - an amusing, if not entirely flattering comparison. Yet, despite my love of superheroes and whole-hearted desire to have a legitimate reason to wear a cape, comic books are my weak link in my geeky chain.
When I heard that Jodi Picoult had been asked to write the story for an edition of Wonder Woman, however, I was pretty excited. After getting a fifteen-minute primer from my decidedly more comic-book nerdier brother I was set to go. (And yes, I made sure I wore my WW jammies to match!)
The previous collection of comics left Wonder Woman in a sticky situation after taking the law in her own hands and killing the 'bad guy'. In Love and Murder, Wonder Woman decides to leave this persona behind and become simply Diana Prince, leading a 'normal' life as a FBI agent.
However, as is often the case with superheroes trying to catch a break, her old life doesn't seem prepared to let her go. With the fate of the Earth - not to mention the life of her poor, all-too-human partner - at stake, Diana must consider what is more important, and to what lengths she should go to save others.
I enjoyed reading this graphic novel. The story was engaging and suspenseful despite my limited knowledge of WW - though I was comforted by the appearance of more familiar superheroes - and the artistry was just beautiful. I was aware, while reading the book, that it was part of an ongoing story, but it was self-contained enough to stand alone. A good read for comic book fans - new and expert alike."
