Best-selling author Jodi Picoult, the writer of best-selling novels The 10th Circle and Sister's Keeper, takes Wonder Woman on a collision course with her long-missing people, the Amazons. The action begins when Wonder Woman is assigned the task of capturing Wonder Woman while in her disguise as Special Agent Diana Prince of the Department of Metahuman Affairs. How will she be able to accomplish the impossible task of capturing herself without revealing her secret identity? This is just the start of the Amazon Warrior's problems, as Diana must relearn how to exist as a human woman while a deadly foe begins closing a net on her that will lead to a catastrophic outcome!

Good Stuff!

I've never read any of Jodi Picoult's novels, so I can only judge her by what I read in this book. I like what I read. The humor is in the British style, leaning toward the droll. Anyone who is a fan of the "Danger Mouse" series will enjoy this book. I had issues with Tom Tresser - Nemesis - his repartee is juvenile. Having known the character since his inception I don't care for him as he is being written. This is not on Ms. Picoult - this appears to be the way DC is framing the character. Hopefully this aspect of him will be shown to be a facade. The repeat dialog bit (one character says a phrase that another repeats in a different context or setting) is getting old. I will give props for the bug that hits Nemesis in the face. That is the first time I've seen that aspect of flying addressed. (I know - the reason most fliers are shown with their arms stretched out in front of them is that the splitting air creates a plane that acts as a windshield.) But rating Ms. Picoult as a comic author I'll give 5 stars. She states that she knew she was going to leave a cliff-hanger. She left a good one. It looks like she had fun. I would love for DC to hand her the reins again.

good comic

I really enjoyed reading this. Terry and Rachel Dodson's art is excellent as always, and Piccoult's writing seemed pretty good to me. I've heard a few bad things about this series, but being a Wonder Woman fanatic but not much of a comic book reader I can't complain. This was my first ever graphic novel and I thought it was really good. The Dodson's Wonder Woman is the most beautiful version of the Amazon princess I have yet laid eyes on.

c'mon, wonder woman!

What's going on? Lately, I've been collecting graphic novels of Wonder Woman after focusing just about my entire life on Marvel's X-Men. However, I'm disappointed in the storylines and artworks of Wonder Woman.

Admittedly, I got this book only because I was surprised to see Jodi Picoult penning a graphic novel for Wonder Woman. In *Love and Murder*, Special Agent Diana Prince has just been given an impossible mission. She's been ordered, along with her partner, to capture Wonder Woman.

The question is how is this possible?!?!

While figuring this impossible task, Wonder Woman suddenly finds herself battling against her Amazon sisters and her resurrected mother, Queen Hippolyta.

Ugh, how many times does Wonder Woman have to fight her Amazon sisters and get into it with her mother? Is that all Wonder Woman is good for? I found the storyline disappointing. However, I don't blame Picoult since I believe she's stuck with the storyline as it is a tie-in to another novel. She did her best to spice up the dialogues with humor here and there. Alas, it was not enough to do Wonder Woman justice.

No ending!!

I became a fan of Wonder Woman when George Perez rebooted the series in the 80s. This was a truly great time in comics with Man of Steel and Batman Year One, and finally WW was given the treatment she deserved. Unfortunately, since that time, the amazing Amazon's creative teams have been sketchy at best. At times, inspired. At times truly awful. The Dodson's gave been really amazing on the art chores, and these pages sing. they really do. Jodi has done a capable job on the writing as well. My only gripe with this is that, it is a collection--a book, so it should be self contained. This isn't an issue, but a series of issues, and just as it seems the atory is about to climax, it says to be continued. When i buy a book, I expect a beginning a middle and and end. This one doesn't end, not at all, and that is a major turn off to me, especially as it continues into a book that has received less than stellar reviews.
