"Wonder Woman Vol. 3: The Truth" by Greg Rucka is a gripping and powerful addition to the Wonder Woman canon. Rucka's writing is both thoughtful and action-packed, with complex characters and a compelling plot. The artwork by Liam Sharp is equally impressive, with detailed and dynamic illustrations that bring the story to life. The themes of truth and identity are woven throughout the narrative, making for a thought-provoking and emotional read. Highly recommended for fans of Wonder Woman, superheroes, and graphic novels in general. This volume is a standout in the Rebirth series.

Not a typically choice for me, but sometime you need to step outside your norm to discover something great. Well this was not my something great. I enjoyed it for what it was, but I don't think this is a genre I would revist very soon.

Wonder Woman is one of my favorite DC comic characters and this story did her a good deal of justice. An epic storyline for an epic hero, great artwork, and well-done/well-paced story.

This was very enjoyable. I won't say much more since I'm not an eager comic reader. I can just say that the art was beautiful and I fell a bit in love with Wonder Woman once again.

Rucka's Wonder Woman storylines marry excellent art with fast pacing, and provide an excellent entry into the character's story for those unfamiliar with the comic but interested by the major motion picture.

Not bad. Not great. Continues on from Vol 1 (remember the odd/even separation of them issues) and it's just as strong a story.
Diana and Steve's relationship stays true throughout Diana's breakdown and incarceration, but it's the partnership of Barbra and Etta that packs the emotional punches.
Great art, although there are a few confusing panels that need rereading to make sense of.
This run is still a reasonable success, and that's mainly to do with story coming before sensation. Think on DC.

This was OK, just OK. Good artwork, readable story. Fast read.

I received a free copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This volume collects odd numbered issues from #13-25.

This is the best volume so far. Since the second one is technically back story, volume 3 picks up right where the first one ended.

This volume follows Diana as she learns that her entire life and history has been a lie. She has been driven insane and finds herself in a mental hospital. Her life and everyone she cares face a evil threat and Diana has to enlist the help of the Cheetah, her greatest enemy, to help mend her broken mind and battle their threat.

I really enjoyed this trade. After the Wonder Woman movie, it's hard to not compare any works after the movie, but this run's story stands well on it's own and definitely recommend to pick up the first volume for any Wonder Woman fans.

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 Trevors 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.

I love when a story arc comes together. Great conclusion to the Truth and Lies story arc.

Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman continues to be amazing. Her quest to dig through what the heck happened in the post-Rebirth universe merge while also reconciling with her supporting cast is a great arc and so on the spot for Wondy and almost one else in comic books.

The flat shades give the book a more somber feel than I really like for the character but it's bad.

Verdict: Get it. Pull list it, this is wonderful.

I love the rebirth version of Wonder Woman so this 3rd volume was a continuation of that story. I lover reading comic books in anthology versions instead of the individual issues so this was an amazing read. I would recommend this to any fans of Wonder Woman, DC’s Rebirth series or comics in general.

For anyone who was a big fan of the movie (and I’m sorry, but if you weren’t, I’m not sure if we can remain friends), you will most likely LOVE this book. I really hope that this is the direction that the movies will be going with Wonder Woman as well. It was especially satisfying because it tied up the loose end of my husband’s only critique of the movie (wahoo - everything may not be as it seems). I pretty much loved every second of this book, but felt like the art fell a bit short compared to what I have been seeing in the other #DCRebirth comics. I hate saying something negative about art since I am not an artist at all - like no artistic bones in my body - but in this case, it just seemed more like sketches than polished pieces. I am sure many people love this more classic style, but I tend to prefer more modern comic art.

Diana has lost her way when she and Steve Trevor land on a mysterious island in the middle of the Black Sea. But then she makes her way back despite attacks and betrayals. The question that remains is will the "Truth" set her free or only wrap her up in a different set of chains. A different take on the Wonder Woman story.

'Wonder Woman Vol. 3: The Truth' by Greg Rucka with amazing art by Liam Sharp finds Wonder Woman with a broken mind and the members of Godwatch close on her heels.

The story opens with Steve and Diana Prince on an island that was supposed to be Themyscira. Steve's organization is in shambles and with Wonder Woman unable to tap into her powers due to a mental break, they are easy targets for the members of Godwatch who want to use Wonder Woman to break into Themyscira. Diana and Steve escape, with Diana going to a mental hospital to sort things out and Steve to try to stop the threat with the help of some old friends.

The story meanders a bit and feels like it wants to evade the truth, but the artwork is just stunning. I loved Liam Sharp's art this time around. This title is one I look forward to from the new Rebirth line. DC, Greg Rucka, and Liam Sharp have a winner here.

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.

This pile of dodginess was never going to find favour with me, as the first book in this cycle was so bad, recycling the naffest of old characters I'd never heard of for some piffle or other. This part, wherein the creators can't even stick with the same name for the loony bin where they dump WW from one issue to the next, claims to be some huge life-altering thing, and in the end just gets her through the usual god-bothering nonsense we had more than enough of with the New 52, and brings her out the other side with absolutely zero change.

YES! First, the artwork is amazing. Second, showing WW's vulnerability and instability and overcoming her sadness to regain her strength...wowza! Loved it!

ARC from Netgalley. 3.5 Stars.
"The Truth" ends the opening arc of Diana's Rebirth arc. With the death of New 52 Superman and the return of pre-Flashpoint Superman, Diana suffers a mental fracture, causing her to doubt her own origin story. She can't tell whether she is a child of Hippolyta or "made of clay".... so here, she has a mental breakdown and spend the first half in an asylum.
Steve gathers her friends together, she reclaims the Lasso of Truth and escapes the Asylum, confronts Cheetah and attempts to make it back to Themyscira.... which is where she learns "The Truth"....

.....Themyscira is an island where the Amazons have been placed to be the guardians of Ares, who is in chains. When you leave the island, you can never return, because you are choosing to no longer guard him. (at least I think this is what they are saying....)

Next Volume we get into the shadowy organization known as Godwatch. Enjoying Wonder Woman in Rebirth, but wanting something more. Recommend.

Diana has been driven mad by not knowing what the truth is anymore. This put Steve Trevor front and center in this book . I have enjoyed run on Wonder woman for a little different story. Look forward to next installment
