No way out! The Justice League Dark find themselves trapped in a labyrinth of horror as Wonder Woman grapples with her deepest fears and insecurities. Will the warrior of truth fall to the lies of the Nightmare Realm? Plus, Nubia takes on the lost souls of Tartarus to prove her worthiness as queen of the Amazons!
Wonder Woman has occasionally appeared on wanted posters in comics for decades back to the early Silver Age and beyond. Campbell and Ferreyra place a Wonder Woman wanted poster in the first few issues of the current comic as a bit of foreshadowing to the Tom King series thats coming next month. Diana may have overcome her inner struggle here, but theres more next month as Amazons become fugitives in the U.S. Read Full Review
Truly nightmarish, Knight Terrors: Wonder Woman #2 cleverly shows us Wonder Woman's greatest fear is becoming monstrous herself in different ways. This helps us see Diana for who she truly is as she fights against the last things she'd want to become. Read Full Review
Much like the first issue of this series, the biggest strength here is Juan Ferreyra's art. The man knows his nightmaresmaybe better than any artist in the industryand his labyrinth is far more effective than most of these minis at conveying the surreal horror of the event. Read Full Review
The final chapter of Wonder Woman, with Justice League Dark mates, Bobo and Constantine, face the horrors that Insomnia has cooked up for them, and the creative team really dug into what makes Diana who she is. Hopefully this is a trial run for a run on JLD, because this team would really excel with them. Read Full Review
Knight Terrors: Wonder Woman #2 is gorgeous and reflective. It hones in on the title character to give the book an emotional depth that it had been lacking previously. The comic was explorative and adventurous, merging the physical nature of Diana with the magic of Constantine, and experimenting with bizarre creatures. Read Full Review
Knight Terrors: Wonder Woman #2 ends Diana's turn at a Knight Terrors tie-in with a battle against her own fears, many words of affirmation, and self-acceptance. The bland, predictable story is slightly improved by Ferreyra's art, but the Nubia backup is pointless. Read Full Review
The only real positive here is that at least the issue manages to follow one character so it feels like it has some direction, even if the whole tie in, like most of the "Knight Terrors" tie-ins, seems to have no idea what the parameters of the event actually are. Read Full Review
The first half of the WW story is sort of hit and miss with her character, but the part about her accepting her fears and using that to escape the nightmare was nice, with the great leadership speech she made at the end was also nice. Overall, not a bad portrayal of WW, but nothing great either. Solid with good enough art, 7.5/10
The second Nubia story, has sort of weird art and the story is really meaningless. Like it is just a meaningless fight with no story significance. Nothing happens. It just makes the book bulkier. I cannot stress enough how pointless the second story is. Not offensive but just pointless. 4/10.
I put more weight on the first story for my overall rating.

There were things I enjoyed, but Im glad this event is over because at this point, it got super repetitive.
