Although there is consistency throughout from the aging of Cale’s daughter, the storytelling is very loose, with numerous supervillain origins that come and go while Wonder Woman occasionally fights the likes of Cheetah and Circe, who add some levity in her villainy that would’ve been more welcoming. Conceived within Rucka’s original run during the early aughts, I get the sense that Cale is basically Wonder Woman’s Lex Luthor and on the basis of this story, she has an emotional arc that somewhat negates our protagonist, who is more of a reactive character.Īs this volume bridges the gap between "Year One" and the present day, the issues jump from year to year.
