Wonder Woman Free Comic Book Day 2017 Special Edition (2017-) issue #1

Wonder Woman Free Comic Book Day 2017 Special Edition (2017-) issue #1 is both my first solo Wonder Woman comic and first comic revolving around the DC Rebirth reboot. This issue once again retells part of Wonder Woman's origin story but focuses mostly on Diana and Steve Trevor's time before they met each other, Diana with her mother and sisters and Steve with his family and friends in  the military. Greg Rucka's storytelling goes back and forth between the two and Nicola Scott's artwork is vibrant and full of great detail and joy. The comic itself really makes you feel hopeful even when surprising dark moments like Diana getting bitten by a snake or Steve's friends dying when they crash happen. Seeing Diana and Steve doing things before they meet is definitely the most powerful moments as they show what their ordinary lives were like before, with the scenes in Paradise Island have a similar vibe to the Wonder Woman movie. Over all: 100%
Top list so far for 2nd set of comics:
1. Wonder Woman Free Comic Book Day 2017 Special Edition (2017-) issue #1
2. Incredible Hulk (1999-2007) #92: Planet Hulk Part One
3. Tate's Not At Comic Con Local Indy Anthology #8
