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

So, it seems that Wonder Woman has found Paradise Island/Themiscrya, but has she really? And by finding it, has she lost her marbles and herself?

Meanwhile, Etta, Steve, and a non-Cheetah'd Barbara Ann Minerva are in deep (while Diana Prince gets her mind back) going up against Cale, Dr. Cyber, and Colonel "Poison" Maru.

Of course, it all comes to a head with all the players in what was a bit anti-climatic, but did make sense.

With the addition of Poison (and a comment about her family), I guess they were trying to make a little connection to the movie. It's not as obvious as in the current Flash comics, or the new Supergirl ones, so it didn't annoy me too much.

I can't wait for Volume Four as well, when I assume they'll be going after Maru and her team. Woo!

I received this ARC from Netgalley on behalf of DC Entertainment.

I had really high hopes for this volume, which unfortunately weren't completely met.

The book starts off with Wonder Woman having some issues, being completely unresponsive towards the outside world, and a good part of the first half of the volume shows Diana suffering from some mental issues. I enjoyed that part, but I feel like it wasn't explored as it should have, nor was it explained in a proper way. This may be because, yet again, this volume includes only select issues, so I didn't get to read about how she actually found it in her to fight her catatonic state and her delusions. I also didn't completely understand what brought the entire situation on, but that may be because I haven't read Vol. 2. So maybe it was explained there. I liked the fact that she realizes that she's not as invincible as she thought in the beginning. I also liked that eventually the laws of the Amazons are respected, in the sense that what she was warned about in the past came true. I don't want to give too many details, because I don't want to spoil it for anyone in case you haven't read it. Even so, I was pretty unimpressed with the ending. I was expecting this huge plot against Wonder Woman, at least from the way the story was told in the first volume. I do hope that the story will be picked up in the future and the implications of what Diana found out will be explored more thoroughly.

The art, as usual with the Wonder Woman Rebirth storyline, is stellar. I really have no complaints there. I hope I get to read more comic books drawn by Liam Sharp, as he is very talented and manages to capture the exact mood and tone of each panel, each dialogue, each scene, even each character.

I think I probably would have enjoyed this volume a lot more if it had all the issues, not just select ones. That way the story would have made much more sense, and I wouldn't have the feeling I'm missing something. Other than that, I hope there will be more Wonder Woman books in the future, because I am curious if some of the details from this volume will be explored more.

I have been a fan of Wonder Woman for a long time. I'm one of those guys who has no issue with a strong female character. I love that Wonder Woman is getting the respect she deserves and the movie was fantastic. I'm the very proud father of a little girl and I'm so happy that she and my son take after their dad and love superheroes. My daughter always pretends to be Batman, or the Flash and never Wonder Woman. I want my daughter to be proud to be a girl and know that women can be strong too.

The writing on this series has been really good. The stories have been really well developed and have worked as a year one story re defining Wonder Woman. I wish there was a little more action. As of the last volume Diana has lost her mind. She has realized that she has been lied to and lost who she is. Now Steve Trevor and his team have to try and get to Diana before this secret criminal organization gets to her.

On the Paradise Island side something is changing and it is linked to Diana's well being. A sacred tree is dying and the Amazons are reading for battle in case something comes through that tree. We spend most of our time with Steve Trevor and less with Wonder Woman. But one of my favorite pages in this book is the different versions of Wonder Woman. Trevor will have to act fast to help Diana find herself. He will even have to look for help in an odd place. We actually have an appearance of Minotaur.

I really enjoyed this story but I would say the art work wasn't as good as previous books. The pages seemed to have a lack of detail in the background that was there previously. The characters were perfect as always. I enjoyed this book and look froward to continuing the series. I give this 4 out of 5 stars. Thank you to Netgalley and DC Comics for allowing me to read this for a review.

Exciting continuation of the Wonder Woman arc in the volume with excellent attention to story, color and other aspects that make this a great addition in comics.

This volume is called The Truth but it made me more confused than ever. The book opens with Diana in an almost catatonic state, driven mad by not knowing what the truth is any longer. She goes to the nuthouse, talks to a worm for several pages which Rucka could have better used to explain what the hell is going on. Something, something about Ares being trapped and Thermyscira was in there. I don't really know. DC has changed continuity for Wonder Woman multiple times since Rucka last wrote the book. Yet he brought back a bunch of characters from his last run 10 years ago. So I'm no longer sure what Wonder Woman's history is and if his previous stuff is now canon again. I'm much more confused now than before I started this book. Maybe it'll make more sense once I read the rest of Year One in the next volume. Right now, for me, this is one of the most disappointing things I've ever read from Greg Rucka.

Liam Sharp's art is spot on. Luckily he draws most of the book. Renato Guedes draws the first issue and all of his characters have a lizard like look to them. The bodies are all too long and skinny and the heads triangle shaped. It was not good.

I am going to be one of those singular voices in the wilderness who will say that Greg Rucka's take on Wonder Woman is convoluted and confusing and simply does not move the character in any positive direction. What started off with some promise has simply turned to mush. A book that is riding on the character's popularity in pop culture and that is way too bad. Wonder Woman deserves so much better.

First and foremost, don’t read this if you haven’t read the previous; you’ll be lost, because it starts with the wonderful woman all-out crazy in an asylum. How out of it is she? “I am so sorry you’re not real.” To start an issue, and especially a collected volume, with her having lost her mind. . . there really needed to be a “previously” here!
But even without that I found the story boring. For long stretches nothing happens; at times Trevor seems to be talking to her telepathically, which might be exciting to read about but fails in a visual medium.
Luckily there are some interesting moments, like, “He’s a Greek god! They’re track record with young women isn’t exactly progressive.” You’d think Diana would know better than to have tea with serpents. There’s a minotaur involved, which was the most interesting thing for a while.
“What say you come up to my virtual place sometime and I’ll help fix that credit score of yours, handsome.” Says something when the funniest character is the AI.
Wow, in the end it was a simple win. Bit anticlimactic.
I suppose this would have felt different had I read it before the movie. The story was way more convoluted than it needed to be, even without knowing the previous parts. It definitely moved slow in the first two chapters; in fact, my fave was the last. But there were a lot of cute little moments that kept me going.
Ten pages of alternate covers.
2.5 pushed up to 3/5

The Truth is a fitting conclusion to the saga Greg Rucka started with this new 52 run. After finding out that she's never returned to Themyscira after all, Diana finds her trust, memories, and perception shattered. Steve, Etta, and the gang do their best to protect her from herself and those who would take advantage of this vulnerability.

For those of you who have been struggling with what is going on in Wonder Woman’s series in Rebirth, The Truth will clear up everything that has happened (well at least it did for me).

The story made both the first and second volumes make a lot more sense, but at the same time it was not necessary to have read either of them. In Volume 1: The Lies, Wonder Woman is confused as to who she really is and this volumes continues on that same path of her trying to find out who she really is. Yes other stuff happens but Wonder Woman’s continuing quest to find out why she is remembering stuff that did not occur and forgetting stuff that happened is the driving force of every event that occurs. We also see Diana having to make hard sacrifices that really helped develop her character in ways that I was not expecting.

The art style was still hit-and-miss for me. At times, it seemed to perfectly capture what was going on during a scene, then at other times it just did not seem to work. Again, it seemed to be the facial expressions that took me out of the story, but luckily the plot sure made up for this.

If you have been struggling with Wonder Woman’s Rebirth title, then Volume 3 will clear everything up for you.

Writer Greg Rucka is at his best with tales of high politics and espionage, and the Rebirth Wonder Woman Vol. 3: The Truth has espionage in spades. To the question of "the lies" Diana has uncovered about her past, Rucka provides about the best answer he probably could. The proceedings are compelling, and Rucka's particular triumph here remains the ties he establishes between Diana and her rejuvenated supporting cast of Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, and the Cheetah Barbara Ann Minerva.

I've not read volumes 1 & 2 in this series, so was a tad lost with regards to the storyline, so vol 3 is not really a stand alone read. However, I did really enjoy reading this. The graphics are excellent especially the full page art. I'm going to source Vols 1&2 because I now want to read those.

Many thanks to Netgalley for the digital copy.

I have typically enjoyed the Rebirth series, but this Wonder Woman storyline is really heard for me to get in to.

Another great addition to the DC Universe and the Wonder Woman canon. Nice to see Dr. Cyber and I'm curious to see what role she'll play in future editions.

Volume 3 of the Rebirth of Wonder Woman concludes The Truth storyline and sets up the stage for the next set of stories. I am new to comic books but really enjoyed Volume 1 and 2 of this Wonder Woman reboot, although if you are new to them it can be hard to follow the characters without all the backstory. A little googling and you are ready to go.

I really enjoyed reading it, loved the cameos (not saying who) and look forward to reading more.

If you are reading after seeing the movie, it is very different. Although if you love Wonder Woman, then its a good one.

Wonder Woman has lost her identity and her life is unraveling around her. Now Diana must fight to find the truth, her past and to protect her friends. This fight takes Diana to a dark place (both mentally and physically), but it is the price she has to decide if she is willing to pay in order to restore herself to Wonder Woman.

I have already read the first Volumes of this Wonder Woman Rebirth Series, which has gotten me hooked. I was so excited to get an Advanced Readers Copy of this comic and it didn't disappoint, although I am invested in this series so I am not sure how it will read as a stand alone. I really enjoyed the art work, characters and the skillful storytelling.

After adoring Vol 2, I was so excited to pick up Vol 3 of Wonder Woman Rebirth! Whereas I felt the plot was lacking in the former instalment, I was blown away by the intriguing and suspenseful plot in this one. I did find it slightly hard to follow at times but that's probably because I never read Vol 1 and I heard this one explains and expands on the events in the first book.

It was heartbreaking seeing Diana and Barbara Minerva struggle so much mentally in this book and they both seemed more fragile and slightly broken than in the previous volume. I appreciated that they showed this version of Diana though as it makes you realise that every one struggles mentally at some point - even Wonder Woman. I appreciated that this volume showed we can emerge stronger from whatever pit we've sunk into. Maybe that wasn't the intended meaning of the story - but I'm glad that's the message I could take away from it.

The illustrations were once again utterly extraordinary and I wish I could plaster my walls in the art from this book as it's spectacular!

A wonderful instalment!

Wonder Woman Vol. 3: The Truth (Rebirth) uses colorful, catchy graphics to tell a nice story. Better read in order of the series, this volume begins with Wonder Woman almost broken and relies heavily on its graphics to tell the story. Staying true to the character, the story follows Wonder Woman's journey back to the truth with appearances by old foes and brief glimpses of the Justice League for a action packed enjoyable read. My review is based upon a review copy.

In "Wonder Woman Vol. 3: The Truth", Diana must conquer her own mind to save her home world.

A group called Godwatch has Diana imprisoned in her own mind and want her to lead them to Themyscira, Wonder Woman's home. Under psychological evaluation, Diana hallucinates and suffers from the realization that all her previous trips home have been lies orchestrated to get to Themyscira.

Wonder Woman's mother can sense what has happened to her daughter and her condition and her fellow warriors prepare for battle from those who wish to set foot in their kingdom.

Diana must overcome the battle in her mind, all the while dealing with the reappearance of The Cheetah and someone behind the scenes who has an ulterior motive for getting to Wonder Woman's previous home.

A little less action in this third installment, some readers may wonder where the hero we've come to know has gone, and that may be the point. By showing a superhero succumb to fear, we see a new side of Wonder Woman that will have fans knowing more about the woman behind the shield and might make her more endearing to them.

Subdued panel work help show Diana as she makes her way back to Wonder Woman and excellent artwork on the mythology side of the story and Diana's home world. A must read for Wonder Woman fans.
