He’s grown into something more than the George Perez loyal acolyte, into a true craftsman. His growth has fully transformed, and I’m more in love with it today than I was then. I’ve always loved Phil’s art since his run on Team Titans from the 90’s, and it’s just gotten better. It’s absolutely epic from cover to cover, and the art by Jimenez might be career defining. Kelly Sue really wants to show the enormity of the situation that causes the goddesses to unite to create this utopia for the women who have always remained loyal to them. Kelly Sue is mining deep into they mythology of these characters, and portraying them more like they were in the myths, as opposed to the benevolent beings who are only used sparingly in the WW mythos, or straight up nemeses, or used as plot devices to create conflict or in need of rescuing, and it’s much applauded. The gods and goddesses evoke regality, and are just abstract enough to make them eclipse all of their other iterations from the DC continuity. Kelly Sue is doing things with the origin of Themyscira, and amping it up beyond what we’re used to. The first issue of the Black Label series Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Jimenez’s Wonder Woman Historia: Amazons has finally arrived, after years of production delays that have plagued this book, and was it worth it? The short answer is yes.
