Wonder Woman front and center!

These were originally published as JLA #61 - #65.

Wonder Woman is usually an ensemble character at best in the JLA series. But, in this first storyline written after Mark Waid's steady hand (written by Joe Kelly), Diana, Princess of the Amazons, takes center stage. A child is kidnapped in a strange land, and Diana, always seeking the truth, comes to a paradox, where there are multiple truths, and her precious Lasso of Truth, the Sacred Rope of Hestia, is "torn asunder" by Diana pursuit of her only belief of what is right. And it breaks the very foundations of truth for the rest of the world and humanity. Wonder Woman must go on a quest to rebuild it, as the other members of the JLA battle events brought down by the distruction of quantum mechanical laws (yes, you read correctly. pg76 Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, explained by the Atom in a JLA graphic novel!).

An excellent story, as Wonder Woman discovers that there can be many truths, showing the frailties and strengths of one of the core members of the league.

Fav panels: pg 102, Wonder Woman with her lasso (of course), and the opposing page of Batman on top of Plastic Man making like a gargoyle.

Makes sense

....Let me just start off by stating that I do not know the writers. I mean, at all. I read these books strictly because I like the JLA. I've read the previous books, but after "World War III" I was really skeptical about buying the rest. WWIII made no sense 2 me. But "Golden Perfect" {aside from the title} was pretty good. Focused alot on Wonder Woman, which isn't usually the case. It caused me 2 realize that her whip is more important than I once thought. Aside from that, Batman and Plastic - man have a duo story. ...Its as expected, u get 2 see the silliest and the most serious work together. Its ok. I really don't know what else 2 say. The book is good, but nothing special. But it does make sense ... thats really all I ask.

Graphic SF Reader

A couple of storylines here, and they are only average. Wonder Woman has to cope with a philosophical paradox when she is caught in a sticky situation with her lasso.

Plastic Man goes back to family, when he looks into what his occasionally seen son is up to, along with a bit of help from his friends.

Great portrayal of Wonder Woman

The writer and artist both gave a superb representation of the Amazon Princess and this story did a great job presenting her as the focal point. Also, the Batman/Plastic Man team-up (harkening back to the Brave and the Bold days) gave me a new appreciation for a character I was determined to hate.

A fun read

Wonder Woman has always been a great character, but it always kinda bugged me the whole "lasso of truth" thing. After reading this, I found a new appreacation for her and her golden perfect lasso. Basically, some Amazons come to the aid of a woman whoes child has been "kidnapped". Wonder Woman and the JLA go to a small, xenophobic country and finds the child in question to be a "Buddah" type. When the lasso is used on the magican-dictator of said country, it reveals he's teling the truth and the child must remain in the country and not with his mother. But WW refuses to believe it and the lasso breaks. Then, pretty much, all hell breaks loose as reality becomes "subjective".

I really dug how the JLA changed due to "public opinion" (especially Batman).

I got it from the library, but I am going to add this to the collection, it was an enjoyable enough read.
