Wonder Woman has always been a symbol of vibrancy and power, and at times, Seaton’s art disappoints and doesn’t manage to capture that historic essence. The book is a colour wheel of blue and grey, and only occasionally does the novel brighten up with oranges and reds. The only drawback to Seaton’s art is that at times it fails to deliver impact due to the similar colour choices utilised throughout. Seaton, who has also lent her artist prowess to another YA adaptation, Alexandra Bracken’s Brightly Woven, manages to breathe life into the DC Universe with her playful graphic design. In Simonson’s adaptation, the characters are placed front and centre with Kit Seaton’s illustrations.
The novel in which this adaptation is based on manages to inject a fresh new voice into the overcrowded universe of superhero origin stories, and Bardugo establishes her own version of Wonder Woman’s early beginnings with her usual punchy flair. Together, the two women must overcome their own insecurities and unleash the potential within themselves in order to prevent the world from falling into violence. Alia Keralis is a Warbringer: a direct descendant of Helen of Troy and destined to cause chaos. The world isn’t being threatened by the usual trigger-happy white men in suits, but by the very girl Diana saves.
The story follows Diana Prince, long before her tenure as the legendary Wonder Woman, as she risks exile from her homeland to save a mortal and becomes ensnared in an international plot to stop a world war. And now she is once again welcomed back to the comic book page in Louise Simonson’s adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s Wonder Woman: Warbringer. First appearing in 1941 before her first feature in 1942, there have been films, TV shows, and books. The famed DC superhero has many names and she has been adapted and reincarnated many times.
