George Pérez’s Wonder Woman remains one of the most celebrated runs in comic book history, but how does it compare to Tom King’s modern interpretation? In this video, we break down the two eras by examining the overall story, comparing the themes, pacing, and long-term direction of each run. We then look at Diana as a character, discussing how Pérez established Wonder Woman as a compassionate ambassador, mythic hero, and inspiring icon, while evaluating King’s portrayal and whether it lives up to that legacy. Next, we explore Diana’s world, from Themyscira and Greek mythology to her supporting cast and rogues gallery, and how each creator builds the Wonder Woman mythos. Finally, we discuss Tom King’s claims that his run is a tribute to George Pérez, analyzing whether the similarities honor Pérez’s vision or simply borrow elements without capturing what made his Wonder Woman so timeless. Join the conversation and let us know which run you believe better represents the Amazing Amazon.
