This book is separated into 2 parts: "A League of One" and "Cold Steel". A League of One: This is the one where Wonder Woman takes down the entire Justice League to keep them out of harm's way so she can defeat a dragon (prophesied to destroy them all) by herself (apparently she's the only one who can do it and she has to do it alone or the others will die). The dragon stuff is “meh”. The writing feels awkward and boring and I ended up skimming over it to get to the butt-kicking parts. I get tha...
This was a fair attempt to have a solo Wonder Woman story, albeit a bit strangely titled with it Justice League – why not just a Wonder Woman title with the other character appearing? Wonder Woman battles an ancient dragon in a story that combines modern superheroes with ancient fantasy and questions about fate. The interactions between Wonder Woman and the other characters really showcase her character well, yet I thought the art was inconsistent with some panels done really well and others fee...
This is one of my favorite Wonder Woman books. I have read reviews on it throughout the internet and it usually receives 3 stars. I think that people are expecting something different. The book is not really about an adventure but about Wonder Woman as a person and I feel the book does an excellent job of portraying who she really is and what she is all about: truth.Wonder Woman was created by the man who invented the lie detector test. To him, telling the truth was an important part of life. He...
I haven't gotten to the second half of the book with the crashed alien ship and the giant JLA robots but I doubt I'll review that part anyway so let me focus on the titular story. Justice League: A League of One aka WHINER WOMAN! The plot: Dragon wakes up, Oracle says JLA will face it but die in the process, WW knows that the JLA is an ideal not individuals so she knocks out her friends to be the "JLA" by herself and take on the suicide mission alone, (slight spoiler) BS where "death" means a ne...
I'm still reading random Wonder Woman story arcs while waiting for George Perez's work. I'll never get around to the William Moulton Marston version of Wonder Woman, but I do believe this slim story arc does an effective job of describing WW's core. It's not a conventional superhero premise - she fights a really old dragon. Justice League isn't of any help, because WW has heard a prophecy that anyone who faces the dragon will be killed, and she makes sure every one of them is out of the way. WW
Enjoyable read. It had a few holes in it, but the overall story was good. I wasn't crazy about the art, but that's just a matter of personal opinion, and not a reflection of the objective quality of it.
One good story, one bad story, spectacular art.In “A League of One,” Wonder Woman receives a prophecy that she and the JLA will die in their next fight with a centuries-old, recently awakened dragon. She incapacitates her teammates so she may face the dragon alone. Barring the abrupt ending, this is a very solid Wonder Woman story. She, of course, fits well in a fantasy setting like this.I nearly fell asleep reading “Cold Steel.” The first issue is basically exposition and the second issue is al...
3.5 stars , Christopher Moeller is proably one of the best artists to draw wonder woman. He gives her this divine persona which is great. It's not like any other regular comic book art. It's like watching portraits depicting the JL as divine beings. The story itself was nice, not super-interesting .. just nice. I loved how he used physical bodies to represent Good or evil (wonderwoman representing the good ofcourse). The story is a mixture of biblical metaphors and greek mythology which i always...
Two tales in this graphic novel.Wonder Woman beats down everyone in the JLA because a prophecy predicts that when they face a dragon everyone else but she will die. Some nice folklore is woven into this one with good artwork.Then . . .Wonder Woman and the JLA help aliens warring with one another and not sharing the entire truth. A fairly good rationale for why the JLA have to wear giant robotic suits. I was tempted to get the next tale after this one but never bothered after seeing the low revie...
I'm a big Wonder Woman fan. Here's the one problem: Wonder Woman is a great character, but she doesn't have many great stories. Personally, I think it's because she lacks a quality rogues gallery. After all, one of the thing that makes Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and the X-Men so great is the sheer variety of colorful villains they're always fighting. Wonder Woman has...Cheetah? Ares? I'm not sure. Another problem is that back in the hey-day of comics, many of the best writers in the industry
An ancient oracle prophesies to Diana that league will die by awaken dragon monster's attack so to save the members of justice league, Diana decides to fight that monster alone. To do so, she must clear rest of the members from her way so we see her beating down each member of JL one by one. This book was super quick to read and overall a fine one. I love that Diana is main focus of this story and it was satisfying to see that she has no match in league (except one). Her design was cool and i lo...
3 stars only because the second two stories in the kindle edition are meh. But the cover story, Wonder Woman vs a dragon rocks! It is so completely awesome. I loved it. Wonder Woman at her best.
Wonder Woman is often at her best in a team book, and this is no exception. The Oracle at Delphi prophecies that an ancient dragon will rise and kill the entire Justice League even as they manage to stop it. Such predictions always come true. So Wonder Woman arranges to be the only member of the Justice League when the dragon rises. It's a classic tale of heroism, with excellent dramatic tension built from the conflict between the heroes without any artifice or blatant emotional manipulation. If...
Such a great and fun novel that is well worth the reader's time.
Not quite sure about this one. The art was ok. Grew on me some. The title story was interesting but kinda had a quick sitcom resolution. The 2nd story was JLA: Pacific Rim. IDK.
I've decided, based on this book, that I am no fan of Wonder Woman. Cool-- mythology- multiple situations so that the whole League is dispatched- the League I know (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Aquaman)Ehhh...- art style; I like more crisp vibrant images (like in Superman/Batman, Vol. 2: Supergirl)- not enough of the League. Once Wonder Woman dispatches them, it's either her or the dragon we see- too wordy; Moeller knows he's being read so he layers on...
Umm this was a mixed bag not gonna lie, like I love the first story but the second story was a hard slog to go through.So the first story opens up with Diana learning from the Oracle of Delphi about the rise of an anncient dragon Drakul Karfang and how the JLA will rise to fight it but will eventually perish or die by its hand and so to protect her friends Diana must fight the JLA to a standstill and that leads to some great fights and particularly Batman and what she does with Superman and how
I have recently entered the world of comics again and wanted to read some Justice League. I enjoyed this book. The artwork is gorgeous in it but there is a definite split in the stories. The first one with Wonder Woman is really good. The second - meh. It was okay. Definitely a book of two halves!
This edition contains two Justice League stories by Christopher Moeller.The first tale, which the book takes its name from, Justice League: A League of One, has Wonder Woman taking the lead. When she learns of the prophecy involving the fate of the Justice League, she takes it upon herself to prevent it at the cost of her own life. What defines this story is the characterization of Wonder Woman. Moeller for me perfectly captures an aspect of her that made her DC's premier female superhero. Selfl...
I was reading the top 10 stories for Wonder Woman and this graphic novel was in the top ten. I'm not much for Wonder Woman, but this comic was amazing. Christopher Moeller has writen and painted a beautiful comic. It has some of awesome things in it:1. A Dragon2. Wonder Woman taking out the JLA3. Wonder Woman fighting a Dragon4. Painted comic that is drop dead gorgeousThat alone should be enough for anyone to want to read this comic. I don't think I need to say anything else. The comic is awesom...
