Wonder Woman: Evolution

The basis of this story is that Wonder Woman is abducted by god-like beings and put on trial to prove that humanity isn't irredeemably violent - largely by having her fight things. In fairness, it does make more sense than that in the end, but Diana repeatedly keeps shouting that it's all pointless and you can't help but agree with her. After a lot of meandering plot and fighting different things for no obvious reason, the story does eventually go somewhere in the last couple of issues (of the eight collected here) and ends with a significant change for the character that I strongly suspect will either be ignored or rapidly retconned.

There's the odd good bit here and there and an attempt to explore WW's compassion rather than just her fighting skills but it doesn't outweigh the mediocrity. It's not truly bad, but it's not especially good, either... it's just sort of there. The artwork is a bit strange too, giving Diana an oddly flat face and a square jaw despite everyone else looking fairly normal. That aside, you're left with the impression that this was trying to do something different but ended up missing the mark.
