Prepare to be whisked away with an Amazon fairy tale, flown back to World War II, swept up in a nautical ghost story, and blasted by a bitter space princess! Don’t miss the penultimate issue of this golden moment for Diana and her legacy!
This playground has been great for both Batman and Superman and seems like it will do wonders (pun intended) for this Amazonian Princess. I appreciate that DC is providing more insight into these characters for authors and artists alike. Read Full Review
The many lives of Wonder Woman find a graceful home in quick, little flash fiction narratives that have been summoned into existence to celebrate Diana's 80th anniversary. It's been an entertaining journey. There is one issue remaining in this anthology before DC turns its attention to a larger, more integrated tapestry of different titles that will come to define the character in the next year and beyond.

Even if you're not a fan of the Amazon, these stories might change your tune as not only do the stories seem timeless, but they are able to use the "Black and Gold" aspect of the series to great effect. I'd be hard-pressed to think of which issue is the best, but the series remains a classic. Read Full Review
The stories here are all strong, but it's the last one that really makes this a must-read issue. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman: Black and Gold #5 is another fantastic entry to this anthology series exploring the different facets of Wonder Woman and her mythology. We get a grand adventure to Hell with Hellzapoppin', solve a ghostly mystery with Beyond the Horizon, a fun Silver Age battle with How the Wonder Woman Was Brought Low by a Mouse But Captured the Stars, a glimpse into Antiope's history with Diana in Feet of Clay, and revisit a long-forgotten foe-turned-friend in Memories of Hator. Next issue is the last and I'll miss this series terribly. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor are captured by Dr. Cyber and Mouse Man while the villains are breaking the Human Firework out of a secret government laboratory in "How Wonder Woman was Brought Low by a Mouse but Captured by the Stars" which is stuffed full of Silver Age-style goofiness. And "Memories of Hator" recounts Wonder Woman's first encounter with former enemy turned friend Badra. Read Full Review
Hellazapoppin - This was pretty much the image critics of New 52 Wonder Woman have in their heads. Great art but probably my least favorite story in this series so far.
Beyond the Horizon - Decent. I enjoy a good "sea ghost" story.
How Wonder Woman Was Brought Low by a Mouse But Captured the Stars - Busiek must be proud of that title, liked this quite a bit probably my second favorite of this collection. Enjoyed the ending with Hippolyta and Philippus.
Feet of Clay - Another good one, interesting to see Diana's origin from someone who isn't Hippolyta or Steve.
Memories of Hator - Might just be the best story in the whole miniseries at the moment.
Some fine stories in here, Kurt Busiek’s is the highlight here. Other than that, I expected a bit more from Tomasi, to be quite honest.
I'm really over these anthologies. This is fine, but I just don't find these stories that engaging.
