Wonder Woman meet Hellboy

5 stars

What if Wonder Woman was raised in hell by a witch? That's the premise here, and it doesn't disappoint. There's still all the regular Greek god stuff going on, but it's all been covered with a veneer of darkness, without minimising on the (capital-H) Hope Wonder Woman so naturally brings as a part of her character. A great, gritty re-imagining!
