  I have to say that I'm glad next issue marks the end of Phil Jimenez's run on this title, as while I think he's an amazing artist, his writing has never really grabbed me. This issue is the big finish to the Cheetah/Silver Swan story, but other than admiring the pretty pictures, there was very little about this issue that engaged my interest. A large part of it is due to the fact that Wonder Woman is almost a peripheral player in the events, as she runs around dishing out commentary, but doing little else. There's also the simple fact that the battles never really developed into anything more that simple slugfests. As for the art, Phil Jimenez's work is its usual super-detailed self, and as such whenever one is getting twenty-plus pages of his work every four weeks, you can't help but be impressed by the amount of work that's on the page. This issue also shows off his ability to deliver visually riveting action, with Donna Troy's battle being a particularly strong example. Read Full Review
