I was already blown away by how greatNubia & The Amazons was, butNubia: Coronation Special #1 (by much of the same creative team) is even better.

Editor Brittany Holzherr has cleverly directed traffic flow for an exciting special. Not all of it feels perfectly in tune with everything else. (The scene set in the future feels like it comes out of a completely different comic book.) Weird fluctuations aside, the issue feels cohesive enough to hold everything together for the new queen's coronation. Themyscira has been through a lot over the past few months: a murder, a funeral, a reconstruction, and now a coronation. With any luck, the new Nubia mini-series will continue the exploration of Themyscira's future. Read Full Review
I wasn't sure what to expect from Nubia: Coronation Special, but as always DC Comics delivers on good anthology storytelling. Each tale offers a bit of commentary on Nubia, but the larger world too, and how we can make it better. Not only am I excited for more Nubia tales, but I'm glad the message of peace and prosperity is at the forefront when the world seems to be on fire. Nubia Coronation Special is a reminder the future of the Amazons is brighter because of Nubia and her outlook on the world. Read Full Review
