Wonder Woman received a complete and utter makeover, even more so than the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight. Her adventures started from scratch, and unlike Superman and Batman’s revamped origins, occurred in the present, rather than in flash back fashion. With the help of Perez’s meticulous pencils, as well as his guidance as co-plotter, Wonder Woman was thrust further into the realm of Greek mythology than she had ever been before. The fledgling heroine was surrounded by ancient legends and new characters, and her newest villain was introduced, Ares, the god of war. Even the origin of Paradise Island and the Amazons featured centrally. By the 1st issue’s end, Wonder Woman had been born anew, formed out of the very clay of her island home, and she began her journey into the heart of man’s violent world.
