This is a must read for anyone even slightly interested in learning more about what went wrong with Wonder Woman and Superman's relationship. The stories are tastefully written and complex. You're going to come away from this read thinking these superheroes are very human indeed. Read Full Review
This all makes sense to me as someone who has questioned this couple from the beginning. But, of course, DC and Tomasi needs to add the grim-dark nature of the current DC universe. Clark wonders if he'll ever find love. And he thinks that might be a good thing. Yeesh ... Still, I have to applaud this issue for showing us all the problems that might spring from this love affair. It shows us that early, physical, glittering love and how that can tarnish when deeper issues are dealt with. They each build on each other nicely, especially when we see the different endings of a post-battle adrenaline rush. And it focused on some of the problems I have had trying to wrap my head around this romance. Read Full Review
Fans of the regular run of Superman/Wonder Woman should pick up this "Director's Cut" of the power couple's relationship. It wasn't the "every thing's coming up roses" story I was expecting and I appreciated it for that. Most of the dangling questions are addressed and I am glad I read it. Read Full Review
Every relationship faces conflicts and obstacles. The Superman/Wonder Woman relationship is no different. But in the same way comics rely too often on Nazis and evil scientists, they rely too much on forcing dysfunction within a relationship to make it interesting. Superman and Wonder Woman don't have to be on the verge of breaking up or making up to be meaningful. The emotions between them just have to be sincere. With the exception of sociopaths and poorly moderated message boards, these emotions appeal to everybody. Read Full Review
While the overall concept for this issue was good, the execution fell a bit short. This title has really delivered some gems, but I wonder how long it will stick around if the "just friends" route proves permanent. Read Full Review
Much like Superman Annual #3, this oversized issue features a hefty cast of creators. Unfortunately, it lacks that issue's cohesion and its driving sense of purpose. Read Full Review
If this is the Supes/Wonder Woman break up, it's feeling so forced and unnatural...So contrived. I think I'd rather it had just faded from existence post-Convergence, away from the public eye and with readers left to reach their own conclusions based on future context and cues. I think an implied distancing and separation could've been far more powerful than "HEY GUYS. LOOK. LOOK AT ALL THE ARGUMENTS AND PROBLEMS THEY'RE HAVING. THIS IS BELIEVABLE, RIGHT?"
