Summary: 
Wonder Woman - Vol.3: The Truth [From BN] They say the truth will set you free. That’s what Princess Diana—the hero known to the world as Wonder Woman—believed. But she discovered a far darker truth, learning that her entire life and history had been transformed…and it has driven her to madness. Even as her life

unravels, sinister forces threaten all she holds dear. No matter how great the trauma, she must continue to fight against the evil and lies that have destroyed her life. With the help of her closest allies—and her greatest enemy, the Cheetah—Diana will put the pieces of her broken mind back together and do battle against her fearsome new foes. Will she defy the will of the gods, save her Amazon sisters and solve the mystery of her own existence once and for all? Or is the cost of the truth too steep for even Wonder Woman to bear?

Wonder Woman - Vol.4: Godwatch [From BN] Princess Diana—Wonder Woman—is a hero to the world. But there are those who see her very differently. And one of those, Veronica Cale, the leader of the all-powerful Godwatch, will stop at nothing to use Diana to get what she wants: revenge on the gods themselves! As the story unfolds from year to year, bridging the gap between the YEAR ONE story to present day, Wonder Woman faces off against not just scheming Cale, but also the powerful witch Circe and her own former friend Barbara Ann Minerva, now known as the Cheetah!

Thoughts: Every time I read one of these graphic novels, I just want to rewatch the movie. I honestly don't have much to expand upon from my reviews to volumes 1 and 2 (here and here respectively). The storytelling continues to be compelling and the art cinematic. I like how the evil characters in this series are not wholly evilly - they have shades of grey. Shades of grey are my favorite kind of villain. I also love how this series keeps developing backstory to everything. It makes the whole world that much more rich and dynamic.

Also, if this is any endorsement, my local library does not yet have the next volumes in the series and I am considering buying them just so I can see what happens next.

Rating: 7/10 [Very Good]
