As Diana learns more of the "myth of the Amazons" from Barbara in Gateway City, a series of violent supernatural events begins occurring one after another, drawing Diana all over the globe to fight. Noticing a pattern, Diana enlists Etta to help her crack the mystery of why these events are happening in these places and how to stop them. The answer? Too personal to imagine.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Oct 22, 2025Thompsons series serves as a sharp and brilliant counter-balance to Tom Kings Wonder Woman series that focusses more on the current geopolitical climate. The two series fit together in a way that match each other quite well. This is one of the more strikingly pure contrasts between two series in recent years. Two of the better writers in the genre are both working on one of the most fascinating characters in the history of superhero comics. Read Full Review

Oct 29, 2025I really enjoyed this new arc and how it's bringing more of Barbara, Etta, and Gia into the story. It feels like it's setting them up to become Diana's team of witches and experts on ancient societies and magic. I particularly loved the opening pages, where Diana confers with Barbara over various books and scrolls as they dig deeper into her origins. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Oct 22, 2025Absolute Wonder Woman #13 feels like a storm worth standing in: stunning to watch, faintly chilling to feel, but missing the lightning strike that would make it unforgettable. Its mystery and art shimmer, its introspection intrigues, but the emotional resonance never breaks the surface tension. It's a gorgeous issue that promises more than it delivers, yet you can't look away while waiting to see if the next one finally does. Read Full Review

Really great start to this mini-arc, of sorts. I wasn't sure what to think of Beraga's interiors upon seeing the first page or so, but I ended up liking it quite a bit as the book progressed. While I still prefer Hayden Sherman, Beraga's work is nothing to dismiss. The cost of Diana using her magic having a physical representing is a super interesting idea that I'm really looking forward to seeing more of, even if it's likely only in the next issue.

My batman TPB I ordered from instocktrades was delayed so this week I ended up reading Absolute Wonder Woman out of desperation and in preparation for her upcoming batman team up. And while I can honestly and without hesitation say that this is not a Batman comic, I can also say it was pretty darn good. I feel like it's setting up issue 14 to be even better, but I still give this a solid 8 and a half stars.

A new storyline kicks off with a guest artist who, while good, doesn't quite deliver the visual resonance and dynamics that Hayden Sherman typically does. Nonetheless, an intriguing new mystery unfolds in small pieces, which is my only minor complaint about the story. It gets a little repetitive until near the end, when a big reveal occurs that doesn't quite make much sense, at least not yet. The character interplay is a treat, as always, especially the dialogue.

Feels like this and the next issue would have been a great done in one back in the day. Because this issue is repetitive, to pad it out to two issues.

I'm not sure I like this new storyline. The last issue set up Paradise Island and the absolute Zatanna. But Thompson decided to save that for a later time. Instead, we get this lame story about the consequences of magic. The art here is no better than Sherman's (of which I am not a fan), but I like the way Bergara does hair. Hopefully, this will be a two-issue arc and we can move on. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/Eok-eOfY5cw
