Collects Wonder Woman (1986) 171-177

Written by Phil Jimenez
Most pencils by Phil Jimenez
171 Starts a plot involving a new Silver Swan and a new male Cheetah, with Circe behind them.
172-173 This is interrupted because WW gets roped into the "Our Worlds at War" event. A major character dies.
174-176 The Circe-Swan-Cheetah story picks up where it left off, guest-starring lots and lots of female heroes and villains, most of whom aren't very memorable. Circe has a little purple-haired daughter named Lyta.
177 Themyscira, sacrificed in the "Our Worlds at War" event, has been rebuilt by the Greek and Bana Mighdall (Egyptian and Babylonian) goddesses. It will be home to both tribes of Amazons and open to the outside world.

The "Our Worlds at War" crossover issues don't make much sense out of the context of the event. The main threat, Imperiex, is taken care of between issues 172 and 173 in some other comic, after which the next big threat is Brainiac 13. This book is weaker compared to the previous one, but Jimenez did a reasonable job of dealing with his story getting interrupted.

Wonder Woman Paradise Found Phil Jimenez Books Reviews

Here is the exact example of why DC Comics fell far behind Marvel in the late 90s-early 2000s. The previous collection was a great starting point into Wonder Woman's world. We were seeing new takes on old villains. We saw a great supporting cast with some superb family issues. This collection started that way and then suddenly you are thrown in the middle of DC wide event involving Imperiex. The whole story goes off the rails. We see an obvious death, random fights, bizarre guest appearances, and connections to other stories that don't make any sense. At one point there are dozens of female heroes and villains without a plausible reason. Almost like an executive at DC said, "Wouldn't it cool if someone drew this....?" Its terrible. The worst part of all is that Phil Jimenez's art is phenomenal but wasted on this. His scripting skills are definitely lacking but as penciler he shines. The covers by Adam Hughes are amazing as well. Overall, this is not worth the time.
"Paradise Found" contains writer/artist Phil Jimenez's two best issues of Wonder Woman (No. 172 and No. 173) in his entire two-year run on the monthly Wonder Woman comic book. Not since the death of the Silver Age Supergirl in 1985's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" has the death of a DC super-heroine been treated with the emotion and the respect she deserves. "Paradise Found" begins with tragedy - one of Diana's best friends, Vanessa Kapatelis, has been transformed by Circe (yes, the very same enchantress from Homer's Odyssey) from a sweet teenager into one of Diana's deadliest nemeses, the Silver Swan. Meanwhile, Diana is upset that her mother, Hippolyta, is slowly usurping her role as the one true Wonder Woman. (Note Hippolyta travelled back in time to the Second World War to become the Golden Age Wonder Woman, a role she continues to occupy on her return to our present era. Thus, there are two Wonder Women when "Paradise Found" begins.) Diana's confusion at the change in her young friend and her own worsening relationship with her mother are soon overwhelmed by an intergalactic war that reaches Earth - survivors of many alien worlds have banded together to fight against a cosmic entity called the Imperiex, and Earth is chosen as their last stand. Diana is seriously injured while battling alongside her fellow Justice Leaguers to stop an Imperiex attack on Earth. Hippolyta bravely puts on her own Wonder Woman armour to fight the war in Diana's stead, but is tragically killed while protecting Greece from another of Imperiex's deadly attacks. Phil Jimenez's art and prose successfully captures Diana's anguish at her mother's death, and Hippolyta's sacrifice is portrayed as noble, majestic and, above all, supremely maternal. The queen of the s deserves no less. Diana has no time to grief for her mother however, despite feeling tremendous guilt that she had failed to make amends with her mother before she died. The war grows increasingly bloody, and Diana has to convince the s to form an alliance with Darkseid, the dark god who had previously killed almost half their number. With heroes and villains fighting alongside, the war is finally won. However, Circe takes advantage of the superheroes' exhaustion at the end of the war to launch a full scale attack, transforming all the male superheroes into animals and letting villainesses loose upon them. The rest of "Paradise Found" charts Diana's journey to redemption. I cannot sing enough praises for Phil Jimenez's art which, like George Perez's, is full of tiny details that keep a reader engrossed. To get the full story of the war against the Imperiex, also read the two-volume "Superman Our Worlds at War" (where Wonder Woman No. 172 and 173 are also reproduced). "Our Worlds at War" is not DC's best crossover around, but is still worth reading.
This was educational, filled with action and somewhat of a tear jerker. A must for any WW fan.
So suspenseful and so sad. This paperback carries the scene of Hippolyta's death, which is trule heart-wrenching to read. Great issue overall, however, with the beautiful panel art and the wonderful story.
A smart capable and intelligent woman so unlike the beast Wonder Woman of the new 52. Her greatest battles and her greatest loses.... the evil of Dan Didio is seen here. Great art and great story.
One of the most magical stories from DC Comics! Wonder Woman is Nomber 1!!!! I especially like the transformation Sebastian Ballesteros undergoes as the third Cheetah to combat Wonder Woman, as well as many of the other transformations (although I may not understand why they had Green Lantern transform into a wildebeest) and fight scenes. Although I do wish Poison Ivy got more screen time. Other than that, Wonder Woman Paradise Found is a satisfying addition and must have to many DC Comics fans!
I love Wonder Woman and this was best issue that I read. I love Wonder Woman's mother and how she protected her daughter
