But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Dec 24, 2025Absolute Wonder Woman Issue 15 is a historic issue that changes the very fabric of the universe. On the surface, this chapter is a regular team-up. But it's the very first team-up in this universe, and that makes it special. Read Full Review

COMICON - Scott Redmond
Jan 02, 2026Absolute DC’s first official character meet up is a smashing success of an issue, leaving little on the table as it enjoys both heroes unique traits and purposes. A dynamic duo of characters brought to life by a dynamic quartet of creators who are always on their A+ game with this series. Read Full Review

SciFiPulse - Ian Cullen
Dec 29, 2025I really enjoyed this issue and the way Kelly Thompson handled the initial dialogue between Wonder Woman and Batman. It felt very intentional, with a straight, businesslike economy to the exchanges, and when reading Wonder Woman's dialogue in particular it came across as clipped and to the point in my head. I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes in future issues and how further crossovers in the Absolute Universe will play out. Read Full Review

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
Jan 07, 2026There were so many little moments of delight throughout this, especially from the point where Batman and Wonder Woman just sit on a ledge after first meeting and talk. The pairing is ideal as they're very different, but have natural similarities as well. I wasn't expecting too much of a threat from all of this as it's more just a kind of prodding by Cale in the end, but it's very solid in showcasing the characters and just how well they work together. The artwork was just fantastic as Sherman always is with Diana, but I was really curious to see how they'd tackle Absolute Batman after working n Dark Patterns. It reminded me a lot of Frank Miller's Dark Knight work in a way with the kind of tactile feeling it creates and the sense of oomph and impact, but within the nature of the Absolute franchise. Really strong stuff that just clicked perfectly for me. Read Full Review

KPB Comics - Joseph Pines
Dec 24, 2025Absolute Wonder Woman #15 isn't just a testament to Kelly Thompson's phenomenal writing or Hayden Sherman's jaw-dropping artwork, but to the Absolute line as a whole. Each individual series has had time to breathe and establish itself, and these iterations of characters before bringing them together. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Dec 24, 2025Absolute Wonder Woman #15 is a phenomenal first time superhero team-up comic book. Kelly Thompson nails the instant chemistry Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman have with one another. That opens the door for a strong story that mixes the strengths of both characters, magic and detective work. By the end you are left hoping Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman can become the Absolute Universe's version of the World's Finest duo. Read Full Review

Fanlight Zone - Ken M.
Dec 24, 2025Two of the Absolute Trinity meet with high expectations. The result is fresh stance on a seasoned friendship. Thompson's writing carries a more grounded look at two characters destined to become friends. Sherman and Bellaire craft amazing imagery to set this story apart from past incarnations. This starts a journey fans can simply call "absolutely necessary. Read Full Review

ComicBook.com - Justin Epps
Dec 24, 2025Absolute Wonder Woman was the first hero to make a public stand, protecting Gateway City from the potentially world-ending rampage of the Tetracide. Absolute Batman has similarly made a name for himself to the people of Gotham as one of the only crusaders against the corruption and exploitation killing his city. Bruce and Dianas actions have put huge targets on their back and the powers that be are doing everything they can to eliminate them. But Absolute Wonder Woman and Batmans first team-up is a shining example of why hope is possible, even in a seemingly hopeless world. Read Full Review

Super Hero Hype - Matt Morrison
Dec 29, 2025Absolute Wonder Woman #15 does everything a team-up issue should. It introduces new readers to both heroes and further builds upon their shared universe. If you're a Batman or Wonder Woman fan who has yet to give the Absolute Universe or their respective incarnations a try, this would be a good place to start. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Dec 24, 2025Absolute Wonder Woman #15 is a comic that works technically but fails to justify its existence emotionally or narratively. You're paying four dollars to watch two of DC's most compelling characters stand in a swamp and explain magic theory to each other for half the issue. The closing act and final pages do the heavy lifting to keep this from being a total loss, and the concept of a Diana and Batman team-up still has real potential, but this particular execution doesn't earn the space it occupies on the shelf.

For how rough and cold the Absolute Universe is, this is such a cute and gentle meeting between two goliaths of justice. I could not have asked for a more uplifting story, of a duo with great chemistry. Instead of an overly tense or dramatic headbutt between the two, Thompson and Sherman focus on what would bring Batman and Wonder Woman together. They have an immediate trust and kinship, towards a common goal to make the world a better place. Here's to many more Absolute team ups!

These Absolute trinity titles just can't miss. Loved this issue, great first interaction between the two alternate icons. Everything was absolute peak - the writing, story, art, everything was just fantastic.

Exquisite first meeting between 2 absolute titans of justice, pulled off with sensational writing and gorgeous artwork. It was pure joy being able to watch these two get to know each other and work together to solve a case with ominous underpinnings behind the scenes. Just a minor quibble or two: the art was very dark and difficult to see what was going on in some panels (at least in the print version), and Batman was a little too verbose at times compared to his own book.Diana's dialogue was simply perfect and a testament to why I absolutely adore her.

This is another knockout issue for Kelly Thompson's run. Hayden Sherman has slowly been my top 3 favorite artists of 2020s. I love the coloring, and I love Kelly Thompson's writing for Batman. I am interested to see how Scott Snyder will write Absolute Wonder Woman

This was a fun issue, but there wasn't much meat on it. I must have missed how Batman and WW even met. I'm still not a fan of Hayden Sherman's art. I am looking forward to the next arc. I'm not sure why Thompson decided to let go of the Themescira storyline. Let's see if she picks it back up. My Review Channel - https://youtu.be/EJEBKE8VljE
