I just finished reading 'Wonder Woman: The Once & Future Story' last week, and wow, it’s such a wild ride! The story flips between two timelines—one where Diana is still figuring out her powers as a young Amazon, and another where she’s a seasoned warrior facing a dystopian future. The past timeline digs into her insecurities and relationships with her sisters, while the future one throws her into a world where Themyscira has fallen, and she’s leading a rebellion against an all-powerful AI. The way the two arcs mirror each other is genius, especially how her past choices ripple into the future.
What really got me was the emotional weight. The future isn’t just some generic wasteland; it’s deeply personal, with old allies turned enemies and sacrifices that hit hard. The art style shifts between timelines too—softer watercolors for the past, gritty inks for the future—which just amplifies the mood. If you love Diana’s character but want something fresher than her usual origin retellings, this is a must-read. I’m still thinking about that final twist with Hippolyta…
