Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #1 opens with a bang and promises a lot. Rucka, Scott and team put out a fine issue and I will definitely be back for issue #2. Read Full Review

The story in this issue seems to be done in one, but given the developments that Wonder Woman and many of her comrades are involved in the main "Blackest Night," there will be plenty of room for more Wonder Woman-centric activity in future issues. This isn't a must-have, must-read "Blackest Night" issue, which makes it all the more enjoyable. This issue adds subtext to one of the heroes embroiled in the turmoil of "Blackest Night," and answers the inevitable fan question of "So where's Max?" This story is more of a luxury than a requirement, and the creative team of Rucka and Scott are well-suited to this tale. Read Full Review

But all the talent in the world couldn't change the fact that Blackest Night: Wonder Woman is as inherently flawed as the last round of tie-ins.

The overall question still remains as to whether or not BN: Wonder Woman is a worthy title to the series, and so far the answer is yes. The last page hints at a much different Wonder Woman next issue and steps away from the played out motifs that happened in the earlier Blackest Night mini-series. Read Full Review

It's a good sign when a book of this caliber is the worst book of the week. The success of the book really hinges on Rucka and Scott's interpretation of Wonder Woman, both of which go a long way into making up for the pitfalls of the plot. However, I can't help but feel a bit burned that was should have been a major storyline is brushed aside in favor of what is essentially a standalone fluff story. Read Full Review

It is good that DC Comics no longer feels the need to infringe upon their ongoing monthlies for the sake of an event tie-in. Purchasing Blackest Night: Wonder Woman is purely optional. Whether it's an option that would be wise to take is a different matter altogether. Read Full Review
