The story is positioning itself to reveal more of the backstories of the new Amazons, which is more and more likely going to feed into the conflict for Nubia. These new Amazons have been living in bliss since they arrived here, but what happens when they start to remember their lives before, and the pain and suffering are fueled by Medusa? Nubia is about to have a lot on her hands. Read Full Review

Williams does an excellent job of showing the conflict that is building up among the Amazons. Read Full Review

Even though I wasn't blown away like the first two issues, this is still a very strong companion piece to the Wonder Woman title. I see all the webs being weaved to set up Trial of the Amazons, and while the impatient side of me wants the epic crossover to start, like, yesterday, the Wonder Woman superfan in me is savoring every moment of amazon greatness.

It's pretty impressive just how compelling this series manages to be without ever leaving home. Read Full Review

By and large, Nubia and the Amazons is becoming one of the most consistently surprising main universe books DC has right now. Read Full Review

Theres really no easy way to bring the vision of the entire island of Themyscira to the page. Perhaps a smaller ensemble with more time spent on central characters would have been more successful for the first half of a six-issue series. As it is, theres just way too much going on in the first half to be fully engaging. Read Full Review

Nubia & The Amazons #3 is a lot of talking, and emotional validation with very little progress on the story other than to hint something happened in the past and something will happen in the future. Unfortunately, the lack of meaningful development on the present makes this issue almost entirely skippable. Read Full Review

Issue three is slightly better than the last onen, if only because getting through the slog has actually made me begin to get invested. In that way, I guess this issue is a success, but I couldn't recommend it to someone in good faith. Also, if you have to ask why a woman on Themyscira would be afraid of a patriarchy, you're very dense. One, let's take patriarchy to mean literally men: the entirety of Themyscira is an escape from men's world, an escape from patriarchy. Of course a literal refuge from a harsher world would fear that harsher world. Two, let's take patriarchy to mean what it actually does, a set of systems built into society to oppress everyone, and you can see why a historian would be weary of patriarchy no matter their location. more

Review ✍

**Disclaimer** If you’re enjoying Nubia and the Amazons please I’d love to read why in the comments below.

Stories set within Themyscira, Krakoa, and Wakanda tend to have the same problem. The settings are presented as Utopian to the point that all the characters have a pretentious air that takes away relatability on a basic level.

I get “gods” being distant from the reader. It’s a different story when Nubia and her supporting cast are all written like second-rate Shakespearian actors.

Nubia and The Amazons have been more miss than hit so far. If you’re collecting this series I’m curious as to why. I have a blog, and I try to stick with a mini-series until the end but why are you slogging through this miserable experience?

This issue is rough. Medusa makes her move on Nubia using Andromeda as a vessel. The two fight to an obvious conclusion. A secondary plot is also established with New Amazon, Bia having ominous visions of things to come.

The rest of the comic is a hot mess. The story reinforces how much the new Amazons look up to, revere and lust after Nubia. Aside from sucker-stroking the lead character, this is one of the most boring comics I’ve ever read. The comic doesn’t offer much aside from confirmation that Nubia is the best Amazon ever, and screws her subordinates.

The art from Alitha Martinez is just as dispassionate as the script. There’s no energy to any of the events taking place. Even the action sequences are a bland affair. Nubia and The Amazons have a lot of potential but the creative team lacks imagination and aren't suited for superhero comics.

This isn’t the best use of Nubia. Beyond the virtue signal of the character being elevated to Queen of the Amazons, this series has been generally worthless.

In Short: Nubia and The Amazons backslides. This is one of the worst single issues I’ve read in recent memory.

Ok, this was retarded. "curious historian untrusting of the patriarchy". WHAT PATRIARCHY? I mean, the whole pAtRiArChY thing is idiotic even in our world but what patriarchy exists on Themyscira, the place where there are literally no men? Yeah, this is pure garbage.
