When all is said and done, Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman #1 delivers a great pair of stories. With a vast difference in setting and focus, the variety of narrative greatly emphasizes each story's strengths while also allowing each to stand on their own. Read Full Review

While most of us have read this type of story before, this is still a wonderful debut. Cloonan's script is somber and impactful. Bartel's art is nothing short of astounding. Wonder Woman fans will absolutely want to pick this one up. Read Full Review

This issue delivers two strong stories. They may differ in scope and central character, but not in their quality. Read Full Review

Overall, Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman #1 has one strong, epic story and another story with potential that it doesn't fully live up to that also shows the difficulty of transitioning from prose fiction to comics. However, this book is definitely worth picking up for Jen Bartel's career best take on the final battle between good and evil in the DC Universe with punches that make galaxies trembles and facial expressions that will make you tear up while Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad write a Diana, who is trying to cling onto hope in an utterly no-win situation. Read Full Review

Immortal Wonder Woman #1 offers vivid artwork and high stakes, but it begs the question" why is 'Future State' so miserable? The future seems unendingly bleak for the entire DC Universe, and after the hopeful end of Death Metal, it's starting to put a dampener on the whole initiative. Read Full Review

It's a visual feast, but the story definitely feels like it plunks us into the middle of a story we don't know about yet. I'm intrigued, but not 100% sold yet. Read Full Review

Immortal Wonder Woman #1 follows a similar format to many other Future State books with how we are dropped in the time period this series is exploring. That does cause some similar problems seen in other Future State comics to appear here. That said, Immortal Wonder Woman #1 shines where it matters most with the presentation of Diana Prince in the main story and Nubia in the back-up story. Add in the wonderful artwork seen throughout this comic book, Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman #1 is well worth the price of admission. Read Full Review

When it is all said and done, if you are not necessarily craving a new Wonder Woman, I would skip this issue. Diana has had way better stories and Nubia may not be your cup of tea. But if you are willing to read about a different version of Wonder Woman, go to you LCS asap and pick up this comic! Read Full Review

A few points to consider. First, It's misleading to call the Nubia story a backup since it's just as long as the Wonder Woman story. Second, the art is better than the Wonder Woman story. Not a lot better but better. Third, there might be a printing issue (at least in the review copy) as all the word balloons and lettering were repeated and superimposed on top of the art from the opening dialog between Grail and the museum guard to the first fight scene between Nubia and Grail. Hopefully, that won't show up in print but that's a major publishing error if it does.Bits and PiecesImmortal Wonder Woman #1 does it's best impression of The Neverending Story and falls well short. The story is clunky and the art is just plain terrible. The Nubia backup story has mildly better story and art, but not for the cover price. Read at your own risk. Read Full Review

Okay I hopped on the Future State craze. That Nubia story and the promise of a homeless Batman drew me in. Luckily this story of a despondent Wonder Woman and a depressed Darkseid was better than I expected and feels in the same vein of Dead Earth with sexier art , painted , as opposed to the gritty , indigenous , pencils in Dead Earth.
Speaking of indigenous , that Nubia story was perfect. Returning Grail to the forefront and opening up mystery as to Nubia's powers and her side of the DCU is welcome to my eyes and mind. Forget Yara, this Wonder Woman is better than a side story. This is a case of Bart and Hubert, just change the names to Diana and Nubia.

Rating for Immortal WW, Jen Bartel’s treatment of the goddess was regal.

One of my favourite Future State books so far!

Immortal WW:
Seeing Diana remain as one of the last heroes on Earth was an amazing idea! The artwork was stunning from start to finish. The cliffhanger with Darkseid and Superman was reeling us in for next issues events.

9/10

Nubia:
I liked the idea of Grail still being around and Nubia getting some spotlight. The artwork was good, but it wasn’t as compelling.

8/10

Immortal Wonder Woman tells two stories one is of Diana and one of Nubia.

Diana's story takes place at the end of time as was shared when the news about Future State first dropped, and it feels a little like it? The art conveys a very melancholic and magical feel as Diana seeks closure among the ruins of Man's World. More specifically speaking the Bat Cave.

Jen Bartel does a good job on art but her weaknesses show when it comes to action. At times poses look clunky and short-cuts are taken with the faces that seem more anime from time to time. Which isn't bad itself but not consistent with the overall look. Her strengths lie in the quiet moments, the atmosphere, and expressions.

Cloonan and Conrad manage to tell an intriguing story that leaves open quite some things. Why does Diana have a Green Lantern Ring? What or who exactly is the cosmic threat that has been destroying worlds? I hope we'll find out in the next Issue.


I'm not familiar with Nubia even though I have always wanted to get into the character. I really enjoyed her in this story.

When the Amazons left, Nubia remained in Man's World. And what a world it is. McKinney jumps right into the action and then mixes Wonder Woman lore with Urban Fantasy, which is a great mixture.

Martinez on art is a joy. Especially Nubia's hair, no matter which style she happens to wear it in. Martinez's and Bartel's styles have some similarities that fit together well, but they also share their weakness. While Martinez can keep her art largely consistent, some of her fighting scenes look clunky too. more

Beautiful art, pretty bland and generic stories.

"Impossibly long ago, in the distant future." Unfortunately the stupidity of that line stuck with me to the very end. Like the rest of Future State, it makes little sense and will hopefully be forgotten with time.

It's a beautiful looking comic, but neither story packs the same punch as the visuals. Diana's story is slow moving and features a vaguely defined threat. The Nubia story is better, but it doesn't do enough to explain its context in the future timeline.

why was she crying?
did she finally get fucked by Bruce and could not forget it?

Unfortunately, this was pretty lackluster. I think I liked the Nubia story slightly more, but neither was great.

7 for the first (mostly for the art, the story could use some work), 3 for the second.

I've been a fan of Becky Cloonan's work since the moment I picked up Gotham Academy #1. It was like nothing else on the shelves. One that successfully broke the mold of the typical American superhero comic (aka capeshit) and appealed to brand new audiences, despite being set in the very same universe where Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman all live. What got me there was the memorable and colorful cast of characters, atmosphere and unique tone unlike anything DC had (and still has) in its arsenal.
Immortal Wonder Woman, sadly, doesn't feature any of those. It's a bland, forgettable and quite frankly emotionless filler. And funnily enough its most memorable feature is a Gotham Academy easter egg involving a character called Maps. It made me smile, I'm not gonna lie.
The rest, though, it's simply the most generic and plain superhero comic you could imagine.

Equally empty is the additional story featuring Nubia. Cool, it's good to see her back in action, but what's the point for that other than Diana's absence? Reading this comic made me wonder (sic!) is it merely a cash in, trying to bring back obscure characters and introduce new ones just to dump them once march comes, or maybe there's some, any future here. I'd like to see more Nubia, and same goes to all the other Amazons always on the sidelines to give Diana the limelight.
And that was one of the biggest concerns about Future State circulating around - change for the same of change, with no real purpose and meaning behind it.

Overall I'd say avoid this comic - it's not nearly as bad as Future State Superman, Flash, Teen Titans or Superwoman, but I'll be damned if I see any value here other than the Maps easter egg and pretty good art. more

Nubia's story is nothing to write home about
Diana's story is utterly wasted due to its portrayal of Darkseid

Nothing worthwhile here
