This is a must have book for any fan of Diana. It is beautifully painted by Alex Ross and scripted by Paul Dini. It offers up the real and human side of heroics for a woman in a male dominated world and a foreigner in a new land. She is a Princess who has been gifted by the Gods and she comes from a kind of utopia which ironically, while being enlighten and peaceful, had closed its self off to the rest of the world for centuries.
Diana's ideals are lofty and even unrealistic and she is trying to administer to a world she does not quite yet understand. She who wants to be a teacher must become a student. She confronts many obstacles and hardships on this journey. People don't always respond to her as she would want or expect them to.
A close friend and ally make a lovely cameo to offer his perspective as to how he keeps himself down to earth

She takes on board his suggestion and she travels the world and helps as a normal woman, and some times she is successful and other times not. But that is what she realizes is what being a part of the world is about. Nobody and nothing is perfect and the perspective on the ground can be as great as it is from the sky.
