Greg Rucka continues to put his spin on the Wonder Woman story in Volume 3 of the Rebirth series, The Truth. Unable to tell what is a truth and what is a lie, Diana Prince ends up in a mental hospital. She briefly thinks she has made her way home to Themyscira, but hasn’t. With her friends in hiding and no choice but to keep her locked up until all allies can come back, Steve Trevor has to keep her in the asylum as she comes to terms with some of the greatest traumas of her past.
There is a lot to unpack with this volume. First of all, if you’re a new Wonder Woman reader, maybe don’t start with this one. The storyline is fascinating, but incredibly detailed and sometimes goes off the rails a bit to become convoluted. This isn’t a Wonder Woman comic to read if you’re dealing with depression or are looking for a light-hearted read. It is a great volume if you’d looking for something that keeps you turning pages or are looking for a different kind of Wonder Woman story.
Wonder Woman Vol. 3: The Truth is now available from DC Comics.
