Absolute Wonder Woman is worth reading from the start. I've been reading all the Absolute books, and WW, Martian Manhunter, and Green Lantern are probably the most original, though GL has been a bit boring while WW has been quite thrilling. MM is sort of channeling Grant Morrison, and it has some great psychedelic art.
AWW has perfectly serviceable comic art but excels through Sherman's creative and dynamic paneling and page layouts. If you care for that kind of thing, it's great.
As I mentioned, AWW I think suffers from Diana being such a perfect hero as protagonist; but I am holding out; and in fact this latest "filler" issue I think indicates that she will face consequences for the sacrifices demanded of her magic.
There was an interim arc beautifully illustrated by Mattia de Iulis which had her pledge a portion of each of her years to Hades ala Persephone which ought to come back to bite her if Thompson follows her established threads.
So Diana has this established paradigm of magic in exchange for sacrifice, while the Zatanna we know can just magic things up by speaking it backwards. Absolute Diana has been presented as a hero immaculate even in spite of difficulties or flaws. They have set it up well and I'm looking forward to it. It looks like they will not encounter yet though, until a few more months.
