Wonder Woman is drawn into investigating the apparent kidnapping of a famous socialite and her infant son, but as she dives deeper into Natalia Close’s twisted life and past, she begins to question what’s really going on…
Sanya Anwar hit this out of the park with ease when it comes to both the script and the visuals. I love the look of her artwork and hope to see more DC projects for her, especially like this where there's no worry to continuity and a chance to explore interesting ideas. The story may have Diana as more of an observer with a couple of moments of her quite active, but it's a good change of pace to have her more as someone taking in what's gone done while being the detective trying to come up with what has happened. It's a very well-paced book that feels like an engaging read that you don't just flip through in a minute. Really looking forward to more. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman is set up for a fantastic show-down in the series's fourteenth issue, with events at the end of the chapter being what they are. The story as a whole COULD turn out to be much better than its first part, depending on how Anwar closes it out. Still, the first part of the story feels a bit weak as it isn't covering ground that hasn't already been covered pretty extensively in popular fiction over the years. The character of Nina shows some signs of serious drama. It will remain to be seen if she's going to finish the story stronger than she opened it. Read Full Review
Sanya Anwar tells her story from #13 to #14.
Narratively the story is one of the best so far. I dearly love the slow built-up in #13 that sadly falls short once the story continues in #14.
The emotional depth comes across nicely in the case of Nina/Natalia Close. Sadly, the same can't be quite said for Wonder Woman. Often Anwar falls back on a heroic pose or smile instead of true emotion.
