I have read a lot of Wonder Woman books. This one is similar in many ways but also different at time. I really did enjoy the story and the plot itself is well done, and paced out nicely. I do have to say that the ending was may favorite part. The twist and how the characters handled it was done very well.
The art would have to be one of the main things that drew me into the book. I had fun looking at all the different pages and how the art is style is different in some way.
Overall this is a good read. Strong characters that I rooted for, a twisted I enjoyed hating and I wanna see what happens next.

This Wonder Woman story delves pretty heavily into the mythology aspects of Diana's world. We see not only the Greek and Roman, but hints of other cultures, the various women calling on assorted gods based on their culture of origin. THe implication becomes, then, that all of the mythologies are just different faces of the same reality. This is only a small element, though. More focus is given to the idea of the warbringer, the person who's very presence brings chaos and trouble upon the earth.

I hate that I didn't love this, because I like Wonder Woman and love Leigh Bardugo, but something about this just didn't click for me. I'm guessing that the fact that it is an adaptation is what threw me, but it still makes me sad. That's not to say that I didn't like Wonder Woman: Warbringer, because I did like it...just not nearly as much as I had hoped to. The original works that DC is doing for teens and tweens are so, so good, that I wish they would do even more of those and stop adapting prose works.

Themyscira is home to the Amazons, a group of women earned their place on the island while mortal warriors and who bear the duty of protecting peace. All except Diana, who despite being the daughter of the Queen, was fashioned from clay on the island. She longs to prove herself, but when she rescues Alia, a mortal, she might be risking everything. Diana just wants to get her home, but soon learns that Alia is a Warbringer, descendant of Helen of Troy, and destined to usher in an age of war and destruction.

This was a fantastic graphic novel adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s Wonder Woman: Warbringer. Because so much of the story is told through graphics, I felt that the story went much faster and was more exciting and action-packed. The characters are diverse, richly detailed, and interesting with struggles that are authentic and relatable. The story is about finding your place in the world amidst trials and challenges, and relying on your friendships during those times. This is a great graphic novel and I would suggest it for anyone who likes superheroes, strong female characters, or a good friendship story.

Wonder Woman: Warbringer, adapted from Leigh Bardugo’s novel by Louise Simonson and Kit Seaton (on the art), is a faithful adaptation of the original story. Having read the source material, I am confident this is one of the best adaptations I’ve read. The plot follows the story, with the art adding to the battle scenes. Fans who find one medium or the other won’t miss anything by choosing one over the other. I actually enjoyed the graphic novel even more than the book!

Wonder Woman Warbringer Graphic Novel

Diana is a teenager and during her big chance to prove herself, a boat crashes of the coast of Themyscira and a girl needs to be rescued. This causes a chain reaction on the island that puts everyone and the island in danger. In order to save her family Diana is going to take the girl to Greece to attempt to stop an ancient prophecy.

Wonder Woman Warbringer is part of the DC icons novel series. They are novels written by popular YA authors where different heroes from the DC Universe are written in their younger selves. Batman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Superman all had stories told about them while they were younger. Wonder Woman was my favorite of this series so to see it get a graphic novel was super exciting.

At first I was worried that the story was too similar to Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, a stranded stranger coming to Themyscira, Wonder Woman defying her mother, traveling with the stranger to our world. Those are where the similarities end. Warbringer is a unique story with an interesting twist. It relies on Greek mythology like all Wonder Woman stories, but everything has a modern twist that makes the story super fun to read. Louise Simonson does an excellent job adapting Leigh Bardugo’s novel. All of my favorite parts of the traditional novel were included in the graphic and I did not remember anything being left out.

The art is stunning. Kit Seaton has beautiful characters. Everything completely draws you into the story. The entire book is colored in shades of blue. When the boat appeared the red flames were so intense against all of the shades of blue. Colorist, Sara Woolley uses this throughout the entire book. While most of the story is just shades of blue, every once in awhile a contrast color is used to accent what is going on. It creates a dramatic effect that I absolutely loved.

So, I haven't really been much of a wonder woman fan in the past but recently have been getting into her story. With that being said, I really liked this graphic novel! I have not read the novel so I can't compare the story but the graphic novel was quite entertaining and I enjoyed the art style. I definitely recommend this for anyone getting into DC super-hero's or wants fun wonder woman adventure!

Well its safe to say I loved this as much as I loved the book.

I enjoyed the art and I felt like the pace of the graphic novel was well done and
matched the pace of the book almost exactly.

The graphic novel of Wonder Woman : Warbringer goes along perfectly with
the graphic novel for Batman : Nightwaker and I look forward to owning them together.

I thought this format was PERFECT for this story, which felt long at times in the prose version (which I enjoyed). The graphic novel format keeps the action and moves the story along. The art is clear and enhances the storytelling. Great story, great characters. Percy Jackson-esque with gods, monsters, a quest, etc. I have been really impressed with DC's novels and graphic novels for kids and teens.

"Wonder Woman: Warbringer" is the graphic version of the well-received novel of the same name by Leigh Bardugo; the novel is part of the DC Icons series, in which popular YA writers create adventures for DC's biggest superheroes.

I'm more a fan of graphic novels than I am of the superhero genre, and I didn't know much at all about Wonder Woman before reading the book. I ultimately felt it did a good job of introducing a reader to her backstory while also sending her on a new adventure. I could imagine that some readers might see the material about her backstory as old news, but my sense is that Bardugo found away to strike a balance that would appeal to a wide swath of readers, whether longtime, casual, or new fans of the character.

Notably, representation matters in Warbringer. The book's cast is diverse, including numerous people of color and characters with different sexual identities, and the book's titular Warbringer is a young, biracial queer woman. Still, Wonder Woman remains white, cis, and conventionally beautiful with a male love interest.

The story moves along quickly, and the art is effective, providing a sense of drama and movement throughout the work. The art is done in grayscale and shades of blue, but the reader never feels like anything is missing; the action is always dynamic and the characters are attractively rendered and easy to differentiate.

I haven't read the original novel, so I can't speak to how the two works might compare. But the graphic novel stands on its own merits, and as a high school librarian I'm very likely to purchase this title.

Thanks to netgalley for a review copy.

I wanted to love this because it is Leigh Bardugo and it is Wonder Woman. But unfortunately, the art style just wasn't my taste and the story felt really fast and clunky and honestly, it gave me anxiety how fast it was going.

Thank you to DC Comics for providing me with an e-ARC of Wonder Woman: Warbringer in exchange for an honest review.

I have a confession to make — Wonder Woman is a character that I don’t care much about. Hear me out, I love who she is & what she does; I love the Amazons & the concept of an island where only women live. I love everything about Wonder Woman.

However, I don’t think I’ve found the right Wonder Woman series to consume. What it boils down to is the writer & who’s bringing her story to life. Therefore, I never found a true reason to consider myself a fan of the character.

Which brings me to Wonder Woman: Warbringer. I have yet to read the actual novel that this graphic novel is based on (but! it’s on my soon-to-read TBR!), but I have to say that I truly did enjoy this tale. Perhaps it’s because it’s directed towards YA? & we all know I’m a sucker for YA reads.

One of the things I loved about Wonder Woman: Warbringer is the friendships that are formed. Our Warbringer, Alia, gets shipwrecked on Themyscira & is rescued by Diana. This introduces us to a whole lot of fighting enemies & GIRL POWER.

Alia is really the show-stealer in Wonder Woman: Warbringer, along with her best friend, Nim. I absolutely adored these two & even more so how they basically welcomed Diana with open arms. Honestly, by the end of it, I just wanted Diana to stay in New York & hang out with her new pals. Can I get a roommate AU or??????

Characters and relationships are absolutely phenomenal in Wonder Woman: Warbringer.

As this is a graphic novel, there’s more to the story than just the words. Kit Seaton brings Diana and the gang alive with her artwork. A blue color scheme continues throughout the pages, which somehow just felt right. Everything just paired so extremely well together.

In all, Wonder Woman: Warbringer is a pretty solid read, especially for fans of Wonder Woman. For fans of YA, I think this graphic novel is a perfect way to introduce yourself to the character and universe.

It was so much fun reading this graphic novel. Although Diana is older in this one, she still hasn’t become the hero she is meant to be. When she takes a big risk, it sets her up for an important mission. She has a part to play in saving someone from an awful fate. Getting there won’t be easy, and they will face all kinds of monsters along the way. As this story comes to a close, it looks like she has made some new friends. If you are a fan of this character then this is a graphic novel you will want to read.

This book was an awesome and truly faithful adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s novel of the same name. I was so happy to see many of my favorite moments from the book recreated so faithfully.

The artwork in this graphic novel is absolutely wonderful. I think the way these authors decided to depict things like the Warbringers’ history and even the visions of the Oracle were gorgeous, and such a clear translation of Bardugo’s original descriptions. Plus, I loved all of the character designs, especially Nim’s!

Overall, if you like Wonder Woman or the original novel, I’d wholeheartedly recommend giving this book a chance.

I want to start with, I haven't read the novel this is based on.
I really enjoyed this! I thought the artwork was beautifully done and did the story justice. I liked seeing a young Diana and the story was exciting! I had moments where I felt like it was missing something or details. I definitely recommend this if your a fan of Wonder Woman.

If you know me you know I’m obsessed with Wonder Woman. I read the novel of Wonder Woman Warbringer and really enjoyed it. It felt like a movie playing in my head and was a fun version of a young Diana. I was really excited when I saw that they were making a graphic novel version and it did not disappoint.

The story is compacted with the more important scenes from the book. Every now and then it felt like a scene was jumped into but I’m not sure if that’s how the graphic novel is set up or if possibly there were some panels missing.

The art style was so good in my opinion, I absolutely loved it. I really enjoyed how the characters were drawn and the ladies all looked so gorgeous. I also liked the minimalist color palette and how some scenes had more color highlighting scenes like fights.

If you enjoyed Warbringer or Wonder Woman in general you should pick up this graphic novel and check it out.

This graphic novel is adapted from the novel written by Leigh Bardugo. I’ve been loving graphic novels more and more the last few years so I was really excited to get a chance to review this one. Wonder Woman is such a strong female character which is so great to see. The graphic novel begins with a little background on Diana aka Wonder Woman and the Amazons on Themyscira. Right away I could tell this was going to hook me right in. The illustrations and color palette are absolutely stunning. Everything flows so well between the illustrations and the text. I haven’t read the novel by Bardugo yet so I can’t say how well the story matches up but I didn’t feel that there was any disconnect in the story. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? 😉 I really enjoyed all of the characters, especially Diana and Alia. They both showed that while they had different strengths, they each stood strong for the common good, regardless of any negative impact for them personally. Diana risks being banished forever from Themyscira, and Alia risks her mortal life. This story was incredibly thrilling and had some major twists that I did not see coming. In addition to the thrilling adventure, there was also some comedic relief which is always acceptable in my opinion. I also really loved all of the Greek mythology coming to life in the story. If you’re looking for an awesome female centered graphic novel, I suggest you look no further than Wonder Woman: Warbringer!

I've always been curious of Leigh Bardugo writing Wonder Woman and when I saw the opportunity to check the Graphic Novel, I had to get it!
And oh I'm so glad I did!
This story was very good, from an insecure Diana with the Amazons to the great Diana we've all come to love after being battle-tested. Loved it!!

I really liked Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer novel when I read it a few years ago; this is a faithful and enjoyable adaptation. Following that storyline closely, it's highly accessible to those who are new to the DC Universe, as well as established fans.

The secondary characters, especially Theo and Nim, are really what make this story shine, and the illustrations are incredibly well done. The beginning was slightly wordy, but this improved as the story went on. Overall, it is a fantastic story!

This one had a special place in my heart, especially since it includes Wonder Woman, but mainly because I loved Leigh Bardugo's novel version of this story. I really couldn't get enough of that story and was saddened when it came to an end. So, of course, when I saw this go up, I knew I wanted a chance at reviewing it.

Even though this wasn't exactly as the novel, or as detailed, it had much of what I was looking and hoping for. Especially, when it came to the graphics included in this version. Plus, come on, it's Wonder Woman and it's Diana all at once, in all her youth that we rarely get to see in other graphic novels, or arc stories of her.

That's what made this an even more interesting novel to pick up. And if you loved the DC Icons version of it, definitely give this a go. Yes, like mentioned above, go in it knowing it's not exactly the same, with much cut as this is a shorter and more to the point story, but it doesn't take away from who Diana is in here and all those surrounding her.

Let's not forget Alia, making this a double threat. They both work great together to make this an even more interesting read. Another reason why I loved everything about this world created. My only concern, like many others, is that I needed more. Can't wait to see where this world goes and hopefully it brings us more of Diana and her ventures.
