Up til now that was the first Volume of Detective Comics, but this outshines it by far. Having read this, I'm glad they got James Robinson because he's one of a handful that can match this quality.<br /><br />The next book will hopefully fill up the things that are being referenced to in this book. But the book itself doesn't suffer from the missing knowledge. The first volume felt a bit incomplete without the knowledge of the second, here it feels as if it is a great story with bonus content to be released later.<br /><br />I wonder how good this is when read issues in the correct order, if the Hard Covers are 2 books that collect the series, as HelloThere mentioned, I might buy them on top of the TPB. The TPB for the time line nut in me and the HC for the great story.<br /><br />Addressing a few points you made.<br /><br />I don't mind not being told how Diana is made. I've got a bit tired of origin stories being told over and over again with only 20% changing, maybe try that again in 5 years or so.<br /><br />I like it that he brought back some of his pre-flashpoint characters, we needed that part to be filled in and there are a lot worse runs to take characters from. And sometimes I'm just glad to see some characters that I liked back in continuity.<br /><br />I assume that all visions/meetings of the gods were all imagined, and I'm more at peace with it than when I was assuming this before I read the first 3 volumes. A bit like Diana was in the last issue here. I am going to miss Zola though.<br /><br />BTW did you read Tim Seeley his Wonder Woman: Steve Trever one-shot?PeterBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-63528903808534565012017-08-26T13:54:24.662-05:002017-08-26T13:54:24.662-05:00I'll be curious to see how they handle that as...I'll be curious to see how they handle that as well.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-62565889750584718102017-08-24T00:25:10.649-05:002017-08-24T00:25:10.649-05:00When all is said and done, I think Rucka's run...When all is said and done, I think Rucka's run on this title is the best-written run of Rebirth, balancing espionage, suspense, and character development very well. But I wonder how well it reads in trade. Starting with this arc, the alternating past and present issues begin feeding into each other. The issues set in the past flesh out character motivations, and I'm not sure if these character arcs are complete with the way DC collected them. Perhaps the Deluxe Editions will collect them in the order they were meant to be read.HelloTherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602812462354227620noreply@blogger.com
