In the prose novel, Bardugo did a great job of bringing the superhero to life, and Simonson did justice to the book in the adaptation. Wonder Woman: Warbringer is an origin story, but one that seems to stand completely separate from other Wonder Woman stories. There's a little bit of chemistry in the story-not that it would need to be with a man, natch-but it's not really fleshed out at all, and I think had I not read the prose novel, it would have seemed super unexpected and even more unnecessary than it did. Wonder Woman: Warbringer marks the first time this version of Diana has ever come face-to-face with a real-life human man.
(Not that I find myself in such situations often, but just in case.) But she picks things up super (heh) quickly, and proves herself both a valuable ally and friend, in addition to being someone really good to have around if a fight breaks out. She knows so little about the world of man outside of Themyscira's shores, and therefore makes some serious mistakes along the way. I do like that they highlight Alia alongside Diana on this one she's as much a part of the story as the future Wonder Woman is!ĭiana, daughter of Hippolyta and native of Themyscira, a mythical and mysterious island where Amazons are reborn after dying in battle, wants nothing more than to prove herself-even if that means breaking all the rules to save a drowning woman … a drowning woman who just so happens to be a descendent of Helen (of Troy fame) and a Warbringer, destined to bring war and strife to the world.ĭiana's real naive in this book, thanks to it being a new origin story (or, rather, an adaptation of a newish origin story).
