Wonder Woman by Phil Jimenez Omnibus Hardcover – 19 February 2019

Achat sur un coup de tête, mais coup de coeur devant ce magnifique omnibus que je découvre. Très beau.

It's very clear that Phil Jimenez loves Wonder Woman and this Ominbus proves it from writing to drawing this book is full of the love that Phil Jimenez has for this character. Any Wonder Woman fan should put this on their " must have" list and any novice to Wonder Woman, this is the book to have, this and the Wonder Woman Encyclopedia co written by Phil Jimenez, you'll not be disappointed!

Uma das melhores fases da Mulher-Maravilha depois do reboot clássico de George Pérez. Esse omnibus reúne todas as histórias escritas e desenhadas por Phil Jimenez, um grande artista inspirado na narrativa e estética de Pérez. Esqueça a versão sanguinária dos Novos 52! Temos aqui Diana em sua melhor versão! Uma amazona que traz para o nosso mundo os ideais filosóficos, igualitários e pacificistas de Themyscira. Este omnibus conta ainda com o especial "Retorno de Donna Troy" argumento de Jimenez e arte das lendas José Luis Garcia-López e George Pérez! A Trindade de artistas da princesa de Themyscira está completa nessa edição de luxo, com capa e acabamento gráfico primorosos! Sem dúvida está é uma grande oportunidade para os fãs da Mulher-Maravilha possuírem essa fase lendária em suas coleções!!!! Uma obra maravilhosa da nona arte!

For one, Phil Jimenez can draw. Each page pops. A consummate illustrator, he has a style descended from that of George Perez, whose Wonder Woman redo post-Crisis set the bar high. I rank the artist near to the likes of José Luis García-López, Carmine Infantino, and since I love some hyperbole Scott Kolins on Flash when it comes to distilling a character's visual essence. A post-Teen Titans Perez and Mr. Jimenez do just that: render a Greek, feminine Wonder Woman, absent cheesecake, who retains a raw combination of beauty and power of the sort Gal Gadot will later channel in spades. You many know his work on Infinite Crisis, some New X-Men, I believe, and The Invisibles. My daughter, all of eight and quite a sound illustrator in her own right, went nuts for his take on Wonder Woman and Wonder-Girl. A solid writer, Jiminez and Loeb's "Our Worlds at War" story arc, which seems to have been largely forgotten, is wildly under-rated in this guy's book, as are the comics of the early 2000s in general. We get to sample the Superman - Wonderwoman relationship this reader believes inevitable in the future, as forecasted (in non-canonical "Kingdom Come," not like canon means anything to me) by Mark Waid. Here is something a bit more important, though: a response I'm quoting from Jiminez when his work received some criticism:"Good doesn’t mean “not flawed.” It simply means that Wonder Woman, like Superman, is relatively incorruptible. We’ve seen her quick to anger, jealous, sad, make mistakes, be naïve, etc. – all very human mistakes."But she works far less well, as both character and as icon, when one tries to bring her humanity into sociopathic territory. She is good, she represents good, and that’s okay. I think the tendency to rail against “good heroes” says much more about the inherent distrust and resentment readers have toward such behavior than the characters themselves."Many of my fellow creators are in agreement that one of the things that makes Wonder Woman terrific is that when she walks into a room, her very spirit makes you want to BE BETTER; makes you want to BE GOOD, and DO GOOD good, for yourself and for those around you. Her innate goodness matters because, in play, it inspires others to greater goodness. And if you’ve ever been with someone who does that (and I have), you know how potent a power that truly is."I understand that sentiment completely. It's humbling when someone makes you want to be a better human, and that is REAL, in our world as well. Thanks, Mr. Jiminez!

Junto con la etapa de George Perez, esta es para mí la mejor de Wonder Woman, los dibujos de Phil Jimenez son espectaculares. Muy recomendable
