Wonder Woman had something of a dismal turn pre-Rebirth after Brian Azzarello departed his critically acclaimed run on the series. Writer-artist duo Meredith and David Finch had a tough act to follow, and while they sadly couldn't quite match the heights of the Azzarello/Chiang series, DC veteran Greg Rucka most certainly has.
With a non-linear narrative and a gorgeous artistic direction, Rebirth's Wonder Woman series - much like DC's other flagship titles - has left the character in a great way, which is appropriate, given how successful Diana's big screen release was this year.
The title sees the Princess of Themyscira embark on a journey to uncover her true history, with the action jumping across both the past and present. Given the theme of Rebirth, as well as the medium's predilection to all things reboot, the story lends the book a certain kind of relevance that other titles in the past have found somewhat elusive.
Rucka is always consistent, and having him back on Wonder Woman is good for everyone concerned, really.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
