With a stellar script and brilliant visuals, Artemis: Wanted showcases the kind of great storytelling that the larger Wonder Woman family deserves, and will hopefully continue to receive. Read Full Review
A fantastic and essential follow-up to Trial of the Amazons, this one-shot explores three very popular yet strangely underutilized Wonderverse characters: Artemis, Donna Troy, and Cassandra Sandsmark. Fans have been begging for more interaction between these characters, and Vita Ayala delivers that and more. Read Full Review
The characters postures and body language are also drawn wonderfully, conveying the characters moods at any given moment. This is most evident with Artemis, who seems to slump more, at least during the early parts of the book, but when she goes into combat, her confidence seems to return, and she seems to tower over everyone else.

Artemis: Wanted #1 is an excellent example of the power a one-shot comic book has. We get a complete story that resolves the story of Hippolyta's murder in a way that adds a lot more to what is going on in the Wonder Woman franchise. In the process, Artemis character is treated with genuine care with what we learn about her elevates her status even higher when all is said and done. This is definitely a must-have for fans of the Wonder Woman franchise. Read Full Review
Artemis: Wanted #1 is a must-read if you're looking for closure after reading Trial of the Amazons. More importantly, the creative team establishes the strength and beauty of all three Amazons featured here while revealing a new role for a key Wonder Woman character. Read Full Review
It does feel a little pat at times, with several pages devoted to a character explaining to other characters why they're such great heroes, but as a whole it's a solid next installment in the Amazon saga. Read Full Review
Despite some issues with pacing and structure, the overall feeling of "Artemis: Wanted" #1 shines through. Read Full Review
While I don't think you needed an over-sized issue to tell this tale, the comic does what it sets out to (with quite a bit of exposition in the middle with a literally deus ex machina spelling things out for us including suggesting the roles for all three woman going forward amongst the Amazons) and returns not just Artemis to the Amazons but Freya and her daughter as well.

Artemis: Wanted #1 is a mostly disappointing postscript to "Trial of the Amazons. The idea of Artemis being Hippolyta's killer was intriguing until Artemis' motives are revealed in this issue. When they are it is not only lackluster and contrived, but it puts a black mark on the already shaky "Trial of the Amazons. Quite honestly, you don't really need to read this comic. It's a bit of a mess. You might even be happier not knowing why Artemis killed Hippolyta, knowing only highlights the petty squabbles between the tribes of Amazons. Read Full Review
This was pretty solid, although honestly it's a weird structural choice to have an important detail of the plot of Trial of the Amazons done three months later in a one-shot whose cover gives no indication that it's part of the crossover
it was a pretty good one-shot. Now we know why Artemis had to do what she did to Queen Hippolyta.
Getting past all the finer points of why this is kind of fucked up, because I don't care, this was fine. I just wonder who was asking for *any* of the Trial of the Amazons.
What most expected - over-dialogued exposition to tell everyone things instead of showing them to the point of this being a total slog of a comic book!
