In the 80's most comic book characters gained new clothes, especially the DC heroes, who after Crisis on the Infinite Lands, known as the first great crossover inside a publishing house in the comics, he had to deal with the death of several members of the event. There was then an opportunity to start new sagas, reformulating the characters.

The screenwriter Greg Potter, thinking about how the Wonder Woman is an icon of feminism, gave the idea of restarting the heroine focusing on female strength, and for that she decided to explain her origin with various elements of Greek mythology. And so began the new phase of Princess Amazon, published in 1987 and now republished in Brazil by Panini, through the collection Legends of the DC Universe: Wonder Woman.

In this first volume, which brings together issues 1 to 7 of Wonder-Woman, the main focus is the origin of Diana, both her birth and her rise to become the fearless heroine we know. The plot presents the origin of the Amazons, which due to the threat of Ares are created by the Goddesses. After some events, which involve a reflection on female oppression, Diana, now a teenager, is the only salvation and wins the mission to go to Earth to save the inhabitants. That's where she meets Steve Trevor, which will be a great help in the mission.

Diana getting her powers.

Legends of the DC Universe: Wonder Woman manages to fulfill the promise and highlights the feminine strength well. It is a very important phase of the comics, since the protagonist is a symbol of the feminist movement and needs to be well placed. This revamp manages to show all the female strength - not just Diana's, but all the Amazons and the female help she gets along the way.

The illustrations of George Pérez, in addition to having an impressive trait, are important in this battle to effeminate the character. Pérez made sure to represent the heroine without the masculine traits she had previously, leaving her an innocent girl very feminine, but strong and decisive.

The script, signed by Greg Potter, Len Wein and George Pérez, is very coherent and represents the Greek mythology very well, leaving everything that is exposed in the HQ well explained. Even though it has a pattern, much followed at the time, which consists of several repetitions of the same information (most of them to reinforce Diana's greatness), the plot manages to completely instigate and hold the reader's attention.

Legends of the DC Universe: Wonder Woman vol.1 It's a great origin for such an important character. With an exciting and very coherent story, and incredible art, the HQ is a wonderful acquisition for fans of this incredible Amazon Princess, in addition to being, as indicated in the trailers, perfect for explaining the origin that will be explored in the Wonder Woman feature which will soon hit theaters.
