Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez Omnibus Hardcover – February 19, 2019

For one, Phil Jimenez can draw. Each page pops. A consummate illustrator, he has a style descended from that of George Perez, whose Wonder Woman redo post-Crisis set the bar high. I rank the artist near to the likes of José Luis García-López, Carmine Infantino, and since I love some hyperbole Scott Kolins on Flash when it comes to distilling a character's visual essence. A post-Teen Titans Perez and Mr. Jimenez do just that: render a Greek, feminine Wonder Woman, absent cheesecake, who retains a raw combination of beauty and power of the sort Gal Gadot will later channel in spades. You many know his work on Infinite Crisis, some New X-Men, I believe, and The Invisibles. My daughter, all of eight and quite a sound illustrator in her own right, went nuts for his take on Wonder Woman and Wonder-Girl. A solid writer, Jiminez and Loeb's "Our Worlds at War" story arc, which seems to have been largely forgotten, is wildly under-rated in this guy's book, as are the comics of the early 2000s in general. We get to sample the Superman - Wonderwoman relationship this reader believes inevitable in the future, as forecasted (in non-canonical "Kingdom Come," not like canon means anything to me) by Mark Waid. Here is something a bit more important, though: a response I'm quoting from Jiminez when his work received some criticism:"Good doesn’t mean “not flawed.” It simply means that Wonder Woman, like Superman, is relatively incorruptible. We’ve seen her quick to anger, jealous, sad, make mistakes, be naïve, etc. – all very human mistakes."But she works far less well, as both character and as icon, when one tries to bring her humanity into sociopathic territory. She is good, she represents good, and that’s okay. I think the tendency to rail against “good heroes” says much more about the inherent distrust and resentment readers have toward such behavior than the characters themselves."Many of my fellow creators are in agreement that one of the things that makes Wonder Woman terrific is that when she walks into a room, her very spirit makes you want to BE BETTER; makes you want to BE GOOD, and DO GOOD good, for yourself and for those around you. Her innate goodness matters because, in play, it inspires others to greater goodness. And if you’ve ever been with someone who does that (and I have), you know how potent a power that truly is."I understand that sentiment completely. It's humbling when someone makes you want to be a better human, and that is REAL, in our world as well. Thanks, Mr. Jiminez!

WW rocks, and so did this deal!

Ok

Great product!

I bought this book on a whim, and though I really like the presentation (the outside cover is really nice looking), I regret the purchase. There is a disconnect between the art and the writing in this collection. The Jiminez artwork is great, but most of the stories he draws are pretty lousy reads. Then, the better stories, written by Jiminez, are pencilled by far lesser artists. My favorite story in the collection is probably when Villainy Inc. invades Skartaris, but that story has some legitimately awful pencilling. The majority of the stories just do not stand out. The Silver Swan arc here is not as strong as the later Greg Rucka arc of a similar nature. The man-Cheetah and Circe stuff is alright, but also kind of weird. I just don' think the collection has much going for it really. I should have done more research before I bought it, but I will keep it on my shelf because it is a very nice looking tome.

Achat sur un coup de tête, mais coup de coeur devant ce magnifique omnibus que je découvre. Très beau.

It's very clear that Phil Jimenez loves Wonder Woman and this Ominbus proves it from writing to drawing this book is full of the love that Phil Jimenez has for this character. Any Wonder Woman fan should put this on their " must have" list and any novice to Wonder Woman, this is the book to have, this and the Wonder Woman Encyclopedia co written by Phil Jimenez, you'll not be disappointed!

Junto con la etapa de George Perez, esta es para mí la mejor de Wonder Woman, los dibujos de Phil Jimenez son espectaculares. Muy recomendable

I love the character of Wonder Woman, and am always eager to see how different writers have portrayed the Amazonian princess over the last 80 years, so I had to get this omnibus, and was not disappointed! (The book is quite big so make sure you have plenty of room for it!)The book collects all of Phil Jimenez's run on the comic book, including a story featuring the first Wonder Girl, Donna Troy. A must have for Wonder Woman fans!
