What are the problems? I just imagine the tv show being worse
Deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest lies a hero of mythic legend...Wonder Woman! But in the absence of Diana, Yara Flor has risen out of obscurity to protect Man’s World from the magic that lies within it. Along with her trusty steed, she journeys to the Underworld to rescue one of her Themysciran sisters from the grasp of Hades. Will she unleash the wrath of this god in the process? You won’t want to miss this first appearance of a character who will change the history of Wonder Woman forever!
A wonderfully fun book with great characters, great artwork and great dialogue. Whatever you thought this book would be, it isn't. Yara Flor, the newest Wonder Woman, protects the Amazonian Rainforests with a little help from the other mythical and mystical creatures of the forest. But, a trip to Hades was never going to be a smooth ride, was it? Read Full Review
When the idea of new characters replacing existing ones, I admit, i was pretty much against it. Bruce Wayne is my Batman; Diana is my Wonder Woman. However with Future State and the idea of both new and existing characters being around, I promised myself that I would keep an open mind. I am glad I did as this book has exceeded all of my previous expectations. Read Full Review
Unlike most of the Future State books so far, Future State: Wonder Woman proves optimistic and easily accessible to new readers, being a fresh start rather than a continuation of another story. Yara Flor is an engaging heroine and it is easy to see why The CW has already expressed an interest in a television series centered around her based on her first appearance here. With fantastic artwork and a solid story, this isn't just a must-read for Wonder Woman fans; it's a must read for every comic reader. Read Full Review
Future State: Wonder Woman #1 throws us right into the story with a deftly handled blend of narration, action, and humor. It's clear from the get-go that this is a different Wonder Woman with her own background, but it is also clear that she, in her own way, is up to the name. This is a terrific book. Read Full Review
While Future State: Wonder Woman is only a two-issue mini-series, Jones tweeted in November of 2020 that Yara Flor would be returning after the Future State event ends. And according to DC Comics own blog, the CW is developing a Wonder Girl live-action series that would star a younger Yara Flor, before she took the mantle of Wonder Woman. Jump into Future State: Wonder Woman #1 and get a head start on learning all about Yara Flor. Read Full Review

DC clearly has high hopes for Yara as her post Future State appearance has already been revealed and shes being focused on a new CW series.

"Future State: Wonder Woman #1" is a gorgeous, fun, imaginative start to the story of Yara Flor Read Full Review
Future State: Wonder Woman is off to a strong start. Joelle Jones quickly establishes this series as one of the standouts of DC Comics' Future State direction. Jones does a wonderful job with balancing out the way the story unfolds both through the writing and visually. That balance made the world built around Yara Flor's Wonder Woman be something you want to learn more about. Read Full Review
How much you enjoy this will have a lot to do with how wedded you are to what a Wonder Woman title traditionally looks like. This has the myths and monsters, but with a bold and very different face at its center. Read Full Review
I really had a lot of fun with this across the board. Joelle Jones introduces us to something unexpected and different while still feeling like something familiar. You do fill in a few blanks on your own with a touch of imagination, but what she delivers with the characters and settings makes for a really engaging experience. I absolutely love the artwork and designs and Bellaire's color work is just fantastic in capturing the costume itself for her but also the places where they travel within the issue. It's the kind of project where if it connects for you like it does with me, you just want to have a lot more of it to see how far it can be taken. Really good stuff here. Read Full Review
The briskness and head-strong determination that she demonstrates throughout drives Future State: Wonder Woman #1 and is more than enough to warrant getting on board in order to follow her and see where she ends up. Read Full Review
Future State: Wonder Woman #1 is just a solid comic. There's good action. There's great dialogue. It's a debut that has me wanting to come back and check out more. It also has done Yara Flor justice and had the character put her best foot forward in a pretty anticipated debut. By the end, I not only wanted to read the second issue but also want to see where Flor's journey through the DC Universe goes from here. Read Full Review
Future State Wonder Woman is new, different, and so quintessentially Wonder Woman at the same time. Read Full Review
Along with Bellaire's' gorgeous colorwork, Clayton Cowles' dynamic lettering, Jones has created a charming and captivating new chapter for Wonder Woman in the form of Yara Flor. 'Future State: Wonder Woman' is one of the most exciting things to happen to DC Comics in a long time. Read Full Review
When all is said and done, Future State: Wonder Woman #1 delivers an interesting and unique take on the mythological world. Even though its star character comes across a bit one-note, there definitely feels like there is room for her to grow. Read Full Review
Having glanced at all of this week's Future State offerings, I definitely think Wonder Woman is the strongest of them all, and that bodes well for Yara's future in the DC Universe. Read Full Review
Future State: Wonder Woman #1 ain't your grandmother's Wonder Woman. The main character is stunning and exudes a gruff charm, but her moral flaws work against the nature of what we've always known as the Wonder Woman character. At the very least, I'm very interested to see what they can do with this character in the very short time Future State is in effect. Read Full Review
This book is a treasure, well written and beatifully drawn!
Hell yes! Yara is a fun character and the foundation for something great has been laid. Joelle Jones' art is amazing. Colored by Jordie Bellaire even more so.
Treat yourself to this one, Jones absolutely crushes.
A great start at introducing Yara!
Jones' artwork is spectacular at this new character and the story-telling was exceptionally written! Hope that Yara continues to stay in the DCU.
Loving this new Wonder Girl.
Best Future State book out of the ones I've read so far. Great writing and artwork, and this just feels so fun and fresh. Cannot wait to read more Yara Flor stories.
You know, I was skeptical when I heard Jones was writing this one, given how disappointing her Catwoman was, but this was all sorts of fun. And of course it looks incredible, but that was never in doubt.
Ok, I am not much in WW comic so I was not expecting much, but this completely surprises me, I like this version of WW, this book was fun and exciting,art was amazing totally loved this issue.
I read all the Future State books this week, this is by far the best one. It has a perfect tone of the Wonder Woman epic adventure while also maintaining a healthy sense of humor that comes with a new character. I actually care about Yara Flor since she's a charming character and has a well defined goal and purpose. In Batman and Superman Future State Books, it just feels like more of the same, plus the anthology stories were hit or miss. I enjoyed that this was just one story throughout the entire book and was well focused. The art is spectacular, I expect nothing less from Joelle Jones. Yara also has the best character design I've seen in a while, it just looks great for a Wonder Woman revamp with a different twist. This is the Fut more
Okay, now I get why they fast-tracked a TV series for a character that had yet to appear in comic books. It's no small task to create a new character that's immediately this compelling, or to build a world for them. This issue hits a home run on both fronts.
I hadn't been excited about reading this one at all because, while I love Jones' art, I was nonplussed by her writing on Catwoman. I'm so glad she got another shot at writing. I'm looking forward to everything she writes and/or draws going forward.
Now that's one good start to the series! I loved every page of it, won't lie. Sure, Yara may be an irresponsible hotheaded asshole at times, but the atmosphere, originality and most importantly humor in this book all make the read so entertaining, it's unbelievable. It has to be the funniest and freshest comic since Tom Taylor's Suicide Squad, and I'm so, so glad Future State has at least one gem (two if you count The Next Batman, albeit two extra stories crammed into his debut book lowered my overall impression of it) in its catalogue so far.
This is a really good comic, with memorable cast of characters (especially Caipora), tons of lighthearted comedy reminding me of manga and anime, and also heart. It genuinely does try to de more
Really good one! I'm already in love with the character of Yara Flor. She is definitely not like Diana and it is a good point! I really want to discover a lot more of her. Of course the art of Joelle Jones is just magnificent, maybe her best work so far. Can't wait to read the number 2 and the serie that will tell more about Yara's past.
This wasn't what I was expecting... at all. Yara is definitely not like Diana, I can tell you that much.
Yara is "What If Korra was Wonder Woman?"
Art is great and the world is interesting. Looking forward to seeing where this goes
Hey that was fun. Remember when comics were fun?! Not a lot to go on in this issue, but I'd say I'm invested.
Intriguing. Great art. Curious why this isn't a story in the monthly Wonder Woman series. It will be a shame this pocket of future world disappears next month. Ugly cover.
Maybe I'm just not the target audience, but this one really didn't "wow" me. The dialogue was kind of grating in places and the character felt a little one note at times. I was much more fascinated with the world than with Yara to be honest, and that's no way to start. I'll pick up the next one, bc the art is worth the price but I hope it picks up.
Based on all of the info out there about Yara Flor I expected to be blown away by Future State Wonder Woman #1. Although there is a lot to like about DC's New Wonder Woman and the potential of the series I wasn't impressed by the issue.
On a positive note, I love Yara's character design. Aside from the obvious race swap, there are some cool references to a mythology that doesn't get much attention in most mainstream books. It was also nice to see creatures pulled directly from Brazilian culture. Yara's costume is cool. Her weapons and toolset are distinct enough to make the character feel like more than a palette swap from Diana. As far as legacy characters we've seen a lot worse in recent years.
The story itself did more
A nice introductory character showcase with fantastic art as you'd expect from Joelle Jones. A bit thin in story, and the narration that runs parallel with the action throughout most of the issue disrupted the pace at times.
Korra + Wonder Woman = Yara Flor.
Art was great, writing was slightly of off-putting, but very creative and original.
Fine. Joëlle Jones artwork shines, while her writing is simply present. The comic looks great, but the story is barely there. Yet again, I wish for the days before "de-compressed story-telling".
It was not an exciting start, BUT IF THERE WAS ORIGINALITY and that is what I like, the funny thing is that you can see that these people have not been to Brazil, if you want to make a stereotyped character of this country maybe if you leave her tanned skin but green eyes. In Brazil there are many blacks but also white people and especially dark-skinned people with green eyes.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
This is fine, I guess. I was expecting more based on the reviews here, but what I got was... You know, a thing.
I was surprisingly disappointed with our introduction to Yara Flor. I had high hopes for her character and couldn’t wait for this issue, but something about it just didn’t sit right with me. Specifically at the end *SPOILERS MOVING FORWARD* when she steals and starts a fight as she’s trying to enter the underworld and gets excited about it? I know this is a new character, but she’s holding the title of Wonder Woman and I just couldn’t believe that moment. I can’t even see Cassie (Wonder Girl) doing something like that. Yara just seems childish and immature. It’s one thing to say in the comic that she’s flawed, but this seemed different to me. I’m going to pick up the second issue since that’s where this series ends, but more
The art was pretty good which is why I bought the book but the opening battle is straight from Hercules the Disney movie and the idea of her stealing a coin as a toll to see Hades was completely stupid. Skip this book.
Sorry, maybe because of the criticism I expected something different, I was not convinced much to spend my money on this issue. Maybe later.
Unoriginal. Good art, but story for children! An example; She steals someone's coins and then fights that person as if she were right to steal the coins. I hope this is not the path of DC ..
This book was horrible. Don't waste your money. That is all.
