Like the rest of the Rebirth Deluxe Editions, this volume begins with the Wonder Woman: Rebirth one shot that sets the stage for the beginning of the reboot of the main title. Rucka had signed on to steer the title for the first year of the Rebirth initiative, so this collection is only the first half of his run, leaving the second half to be collected in an as-of-yet-not-solicited Rebirth Deluxe Edition Book 2. Many of the Rebirth titles were implementing multiple artist teams in order to keep up with the the bi-weekly shipping schedule, but Wonder Woman differed in that Rucka was going to juggle two story arcs at once, alternating issues between 'The Lies', a story set in present day (Sharp), and a 'Year One' story set in the past (Scott). Greg Rucka was making a return to the character (he had already written one one highly acclaimed Wonder Woman run in the early 2000's), and artistic duties were going to be split between Liam Sharp (whose work I had not previously been familiar with) and Nicola Scott (who like Rucka, would be dancing with Diana a second time). When DC originally announced their Rebirth initiative, the title that I was looking forward to the most was Wonder Woman.
