10 Greatest DC Comics Of The 21st Century, Not Starring Batman

10. Wonder Woman: Eyes Of The Gorgon

Wonder Woman is always at her best when her stories blend mythology with super heroics, and this 2005 story by Greg Rucka masterfully combines both. She is presented as an both an ambassador for Themysciran and as a hardcore warrior fighting a version of the mythical monster, Medousa (as her name is spelled in DC comics lore).

Greg Rucka continues to this day to be one of the better modern writers for Wonder Woman, and this is the arc where he really hits his stride. He is able to make a formal dinner at the White House just as compelling as an unbelievably vicious fight with Medousa.

This is a story that beautifully captures the dual nature of Wonder Woman. This is the arc to read to see why Wonder Woman is one of DC's cornerstone characters.
