Now it's up to the Esquecida and their headstrong leader, Yara Flor, to take a stand for what is right. The future of the Amazons depends on it!
Trial of the Amazons: Wonder Girl #2 is a standout issue of art and storytelling. It also has the honor of revealing one of the crucial plot resolutions for the Amazonian event. There's a lot to like in the issue and can be enjoyed out of context of the rest of the series as well. It may even be the issue that will get readers to go back to the previous chapters if they haven't bee following the storyline all along. Read Full Review
Jones' work in the penultimate chapter is very carefully thought-out and well-executed by everyone involved. It's not over yet, though. The story concludes in just a few weeks. It's difficult to imagine everything being tied up in a single issue. There's the big, final threat to be dealt with and, of course, the fate of Hippolyte's murderer. The final chapter of the crossover will likely lead to more resolution as the month progress. Read Full Review
Jones creates a compelling set of narratives that follows the separate paths of various groups of Amazons and gracefully connects the warriors for an explosive and unexpected event. Read Full Review
A rather lackluster ending to Yaras solo adventures, which is unfortunate because Jones & Melos artistry is really breathtaking here. Theres not a lot wrong to find with the book, other than its just boring. It didnt help that DC shot itself in the foot spoiling the murderer. If Jones gets another shot with Yara, I hope she gets a co-writer to help smooth out some of her kinks. Read Full Review
This event, with three different creative teams, has often felt a little jumbled but it's a welcome spotlight for a corner of the DCU that's often kept in the shadows. Read Full Review
Trial of the Amazons: Wonder Girl #2 solves the case of Hippolyta's murder. While that is done well, there is still so much left on the table. It seems unlikely that everything will wrap up nicely and neatly with one issue left. Pray for a miracle because the creators are going to need it. Read Full Review
Come for the art, stay for the art and endure another rocky narrative path along this Trial of the Amazons. Read Full Review
FINAL THOUGHTSTrial of the Amazons: Wonder Girl #2 is a visually stunning comic book but does little in the way of building interest in the event. The way many characters are diminished, specifically Donna Troy, Philippus, and Yara Flor, is head scratching. Hopefully the final part of Trial of the Amazons is able to wrap up this event in a way to build hype for the future of the Wonder Woman franchise. Read Full Review
The bottom line is that this book leaves way too much on the table, but at least looks pretty doing it. Read Full Review
Expect a major reveal in Trial of the Amazons: Wonder Girl #2, but expect it to be told in a drawn-out way. Everyone loves the big reveal in a whodunnit, but there isn't enough here in the b-plot to entice readers. Instead, it's an issue that'll have you possibly flipping to the end to find out who the murderer is out of impatience. Read Full Review
I actually really enjoyed this issue a lot and it has great art and the way Cassie Sandmarks is showcased here really makes me happy that she gets much more love. Wish Donna Troy had more spotlight.
Best issue Of the event.....I don't how they will wrap it up...lots of loose ends...
The artwork and layouts were absolutely phenomenal, didn't mind the story but the script could have been better
Seriously? One more issue left in whatever this “Trial” is supposed to be and we got a prolonged “hang in the parlor while the detective reveals the murderer” moment that fails to give any sort of motive and the clues are nothing a reader could have guessed or have played along with? This could have all been done in two pages and left some space for what is supposed to be the big event - The Trial!
