Summary: Interesting, but SAVED by the art!
Review: I bought this along with the Just Imagine Superman title, primarily out of a love for the characters and a nostalgic fondness for Stan Lee. Avoid the Superman title (look up my review on that page) but this one is worth the money. Lee's writing is broad and under-nuanced, but at least with Wonder Woman he doesn't have a checklist of mythical elements he feels compelled to include. This frees him to write a more compelling and breathable story. That's not to say it IS a compelling story - it's just a MORE compelling story than the Superman title. What saves this book is the breathtaking art by Jim Lee, with the amazing production values and special effects that he is an expert at utilizing. The character design is excellent, and Jim Lee gives Stan Lee so many more panels to work with that Stan is actually able to write a good amount of text. The back cover by Adam Hughes is stunning, but the backup feature "On The Streets" is fairly blah. All in all it's less painful than the Superman title, and worth your nickel - for the art.

Summary: simply awful
Review: I was expecting some sort of an Elseworlds scenario in this title, but this Wonder Woman by Stan Lee is totally far-fetched. I'm glad WW was created by William Moulton Marston and re-created by George Perez. DC succeeded in selling this short-lived title, but now I wish I had never bought it!

Summary: Stan Lee writes a good WW story.
Review: This is perhaps the best of the Just Imagine stories that Stan has been doing at DC. His version of Wonder-Woman is a fresh approach to doing a character that has largely been under-written and under-estimated in the main DC books. This Wonder-Woman actually comes across as beliveable and fairly human. The mythology surrounding Wonder-Woman in the main DC books, is here given a more lighter touch and is easier to read. Well done Stan.
