We find traditional Wonder Woman doing her best to defeat all kinds of villains - human, animal, and alien. It was fun to relive some of my childhood with a heroine that I followed (somewhat) nearly a half-century ago. The editors have chosen a variety of worth while classic Wonder Woman stories. Though we see none of the complete story arcs, we do get a good glimpse of Wonder Woman in action.

I have no way of knowing if these are truly Wonder Woman’s greatest stories - they are certainly her strangest stories. And for being that, it is well worth getting the five stars I am awarding it.

This review is based on a free electronic copy provided by the publisher for the purpose of creating this review. The opinions are mine alone.

This is a interesting compilation of battles throughout Wonder Woman's history. Because these are single issues from longer arcs, some of the stories felt a bit hard to get into. There was normally enough info so you could follow the story, but it was hard to get invested in characters you only know from a few lines of exposition. Also, because there were various writers, the quality varied from excellent (ie Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, etc) to...not so excellent (::cough::Gail Simone::cough::). But, if you just want a mix of Wonder Woman's Greatest Hits, I think these seven stories won't let you down.

This comic is exactly what it advertises itself to be. If you're looking for classic Wonder Woman and her most important battles before you see the film this year, this is definitely a collection to pick up.

'Wonder Woman: Her Greatest Battles' is kind of the graphic novel equivalent of NFL Red Zone. We don't see the build up to the battles, we just get a lot of Wonder Woman showing how tough she is.

The stories range from the late 1980s to the present and are in chronological order. In some ways the character has changed and in some ways she hasn't. Perhaps the characters around her have changed the most. Wonder Woman battles the god Ares, and Cheetah. She takes on Superman and Power Girl. With the Justice League she battles invasions of gods and creatures from other dimensions.

There isn't a lot of lead in to each issue. The reader just gets to sit ringside by lots of battles. The different art styles are all good and feature Wonder Woman through some iconic writers and artists. I had a lot of fun reading this one.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Unfortunately, even on my 7-inch tablet (instead of my smartphone), the text on this was extremely difficult to read. I wasn't previously familiar with Lady Mechanika, though I'm well-versed in and generally love comics and graphic novels featuring badass females. The dark steampunk vibe was very cool, but it was hard for me to find the flow of the story.

This is a collection of some of Wonder Woman's greatest battles. It's not the best book to pick up if you want to know more about Diana's story, but it's perfect if you want to see her fight and what she stands for. And to check out some really cool art from many different artists.

Not only does Wonder Woman know how to kick butt, but she's also compassionate and caring. She wants to keep people safe and believes in redemption. I loved seeing her humanity and how she defends others.

And let's face it, even blindfolded this woman is strong as hell, her fight with Medusa was one of my favorites, and what she does at the end is just brutal. The art in that one is also amazing, her outfit is pure perfection.

I also loved the parts including members of the Justice League. Aquaman looked pretty badass here.

I recommend to check this out even if you don't know much about Wonder Woman, seeing her fight is pretty amazing.

Should be favored by those who want to learn more about WW past but overall does not add to the mythos and the now changing view of WW.

Wonder Woman Greatest Battles is a collection of Wonder Woman stories spanning from 1987 to 2013, only one of which was written by a woman, which seems a mite unfair since Wonder Woman is, after all, a woman. Not only that, the men who have drawn her over the years can’t seem to agree on her cup size, which ranges from a full C to ginormous.

The reprinted stories are meant to hype an upcoming movie, or to scoop up money from the fans of the movie. That doesn’t bother me, but it is a bit bothersome that so many of the stories are the final issue in a series, leaving the reader to wonder what preceded the battle. Fortunately, it usually isn’t too hard to figure out, particularly for readers who have some history with the Amazon.

In the first story, a rogue general who teamed up with Ares is about to nuke Russia, forcing Ronald Reagan to turn to Wonder Woman for help. Of course, WW gets an assist from Steve Trevor, as she always did back in the day. The story is a bit overwrought but I appreciate the gruesomeness of the art.

The next one is a John Byrne story involving WW’s nemesis Cheetah. The story is a bit wordy but the art is nice, particularly when WW puts on a miniskirt that gets shredded by Cheetah’s claws. Also, WW’s hand turns to clay, which is kinda cool.

The battle in the third story is against Medousa. The whole world is watching, thanks to the miracle of television. It’s sort of a “gladiators battle in a stadium” theme. Yankee Stadium, of all places. Like some of the other stories, this is the final issue of a longer tale, so all of the setup is missing. The story is notable for WW’s trickiness and for the surprisingly gory show she puts on for all the people sitting around in bars watching the fight on the tube. As battles go, I’d give this one top marks.

The next one is a Wonder Bra version of Wonder Woman. It’s part 4 of 4 but, given the propensity of comic book writers to spend half the issue recapping the last issue, it’s easy enough to figure out what’s going on. Maxwell Lord, who has Superman fighting Batman (again), opens the story with the memorable line, “Forgive me for saying this Princess, but you do look good on your knees.” Suggestive, hey? Then he makes Superman fight WW, which is the why this is in the greatest battle compilation. WW “holds back” from kicking Superman in the nads (maybe she should just give him a wedgie?). This issue proves that it takes a woman to do a man’s job: WW takes out the garage (metaphorically speaking) at the end.

The fifth story is a battle of the boobs, a chick fight between Wonder Woman and the Triple-D cup that is Power Girl. Of course, PG is controlled by evil forces in the form of small, well-dressed kids called the Children of Ares who look like they should be handing out copies of Watchtower. There’s not much story here but there’s enough cleavage to keep everyone happy.

The next battle is part three of a Justice League story, from the recent era where everyone hates superheroes, a storyline that might have worked for X-Men but was ill-placed when applied to the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman. No surprise that DC rebooted (or rebirthed) after going in that direction. Anyway, the JLA is battling demons (aren’t they always?) but WW has a limited role, making this an odd choice since she hardly battles at all. Perhaps it was chosen because WW has a serious case of camel toe in almost every panel. Maybe she was battling with a tight uniform.

The last one is a battle with First Born, her brother and truly a worthy adversary. The story is a modern classic, depicting War as an old man. Wonder Woman is forced to confront her own instincts and goes a bit off the deep end when she realizes what’s inside her. War almost steals the show, but credit goes to WW at the end for an awesome maneuver. This is the best WW story ever, but it’s worth seeking out the whole story rather than just reading the ending. I mean, how satisfying is it to learn that The Butler Did It if you don’t know what the butler did?

A really nice, fun collection for Wonder Woman fans, but some readers might be deterred from reading since some of the battles can be found in other collections already.

While there are some great battles here, almost all of them are finales of multi-issue arcs. New readers especially will be somewhat confused. Most of the stories are collected in other trades, I urge everyone to find them there. That being said, all of the stories are post Crisis. The Greg Rucka and Brian Azzarello stories can be found in their own collections and are from the 2 best runs ever in Wonder Woman's history in my opinion. John Bryne's take on WW is hit or miss and widely overlooked nowadays even though he did create the current Wonder Girl, Cassie Sandsmark. We also get the end of George Perez's first WW story. It holds up OK. And a fight with Power Girl from Gail Simone's underrated run on WW. For some reason, there's also a Justice League issue here from the first new 52 story. If these stories are new to you, I suggest instead of reading this, you search out the original trades that contain these issues.

The stories were good in getting background on Wonder Woman's fighting style and it's easy for beginner's to follow who want to start reading Wonder Woman comics. The pictures were well drawn and colorful. I enjoyed looking at the fighting scenes. The drawings depicted highlighted what was going on. The only problem I had was trying to read the first two stories because the words were blurry and hard to read. The flow of each story was a bit intense and engaging.

Like anything that has the word "Greatest" in the title, Wonder Woman: Her Greatest Battles is a mixed bag of tales. The reader gets to see various episodes (but not even complete episodes) of Wonder Woman's past. Some of the fights were interesting, but would like to have listed the issues where the rest of the stories could be found. Overall, a disappointing read.

Such a fun collection of so many great different fights with Wonder Woman. Seeing her battle so many different foes in just one collection really made me want to read more and more. I will definitely have to try to check out some of the older stories because I got very curious about some of these fights.

Reading about Diana fighting against Superman (and nearly killing each other) or her fighting next to Power Girl against evil children amongst many other different stories showed me quite a few things I didn’t know about Wonder Woman yet. I haven’t read a lot of her stories yet, sadly (I actually only really started with the Rebirth series) so there’s so much still for me to discover and this served as some kind of guide to where I should pick up some of her older stories.

I have been a big fan of Wonder Woman since I was a kid. So when I saw that they did a graphic novel about her greatest battles . Well of course I had to get a copy . This book takes on some of her greatest battles. She takes on some of the toughest criminals and kicks they collective butts . 
   The comic over all is great but it seems a little lack luster in some spots . There are so many more better battles . These are the lesser known ones . I would of loved to have seen the battle between Circe and Dianna. That was an epic battle.  The authors of the book did a great job . The graphics are great and such a throw back to the older style comics . I really like this style and it was a great read .
  So if you are a wonder woman fan girl, get out your lasso of truth and you bullet stopping bracelets and check out the greatest battles fought by Wonder Woman . You will not be disappointed and you can fan girl at the same time .

Wonder Woman: Her Greatest Battles is a comprised of different stories of Wonder Woman from different eras. Each different story has a different villain, from Cheetah to Ares.

Each storyline served the purpose of showing what Wonder Woman is capable of. From her speed and strength to her ability to believe in the good of there people. When most people think of Wonder Woman, they either think of her as a feminist icon and annoying, or as a power woman who is equal to both Batman and Superman. All of the storylines chosen show that she is a strong woman, who also embraces her emotions whilst kicking ass.

The storyline that I felt best demonstrated Wonder Woman and what she represents to me was when she was facing Cheetah. She shows both her strength and power, but she showed her belief that no matter how far gone you may be, that their is always hope for redemption.

The art style varied between each of the stories, as different eras of comic books had a preference to different styles of art. My least favourite of the lot was the first one, when Wonder Woman was facing Ares. Out of the lots, it was also the oldest story; maybe I just am not the greatest fan of the older style of comic book art.

A good comic book to set you up for the Wonder Woman movie coming out in June 2017 as it shows the highlights of what Wonder Woman is capable of.

The best of the best of one of the greatest characters at comic book world. Impossible that this didn't work.

Excellent reboot of the Wonder Woman story. Great artwork as well.

I have just recently started reading Wonder Woman comics. I really enjoyed reading about her greatest battles. It was interesting to see/read about her battle with Superman. I would read more comics in digital format after reading this one.

Oldies and Goldies chosen between the best adventures of Wonder Woman, almost from the beginning. It was nice but nothing special because I'm used the the recent stories where the plot is convoluted and complicated. I' not used to short stories anymore.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW

every one of these Wonder Woman stories starts pretty much mid-battle given only the hardcore fans any hope of following the story. So a 'greatest hits' collection for diehards
