Ben Caldwell's Wonder Woman

Ben Caldwell’s “Wonder Woman” strip in Wednesday Comics has been the hardest for me to follow. He fills each page with dozens of panels and, even at broadsheet size, it’s all too small. The first issue I found to just be an incomprehensible mess, but one that I knew had some smarts to it, so likely its incomprehensibility was my failing, not his. As the strip has progressed over the summer, I’ve started to understand it more, and I think going back to read it when it’s done, I’ll be able to appreciate it, though I think reading it all at once is likely to be an overwhelming experience.

Anyway, for future reference, Caldwell’s own annotations to each installment.
