Comprising issues #106-112 of Wonder Woman, John Byrne takes the iconic character and gives her dozens of secondary characters and a sidekick of sorts (Cassandra Sandsmark, soon to be Wonder Girl).
This is strange, because Byrne usually focuses on the title character. In the first story, a mysterious tapestry draws the attention of Morgaine LeFay and The Phantom Stranger. Jason Blood/Etrigan makes an appearance as well, but theres little room for Wonder Woman in all this (even Diana remarks at one point how little she knows about the tapestry and its time period). The artwork is flashy and large, but theres little in the way of dialogue.
In the second story, we get cameos from clones of the Flash, Sinestro, and Doomsday, as well as a newer hero calling himself Champion. But the story doesnt really gel, and it seems that Wonder Woman is a guest star in her own comic. Only if youre a diehard fan of the character; otherwise, give this a pass and read Greg Ruckas or Gail Simones take on the legendary Amazon.
