This new take of the series starts off slow but #26 reads well and enlightens the personal side of Diana. Read Full Review

Whats absolutely clear about Fontanas debut is that despite the clunkiness of some of its moving pieces, theres a thriving and artfully conveyed emotional undercurrent that speaks volumes to the queer and female readership of the title. Which should always be the first priority of a Wonder Woman story. Read Full Review

The storyline still needs to develop a definitive "hook", but Fontana is off to a good start with these characters, especially where Diana and Etta are concerned. If you're expecting a grittier tone, this isn't it. However, if you are looking for something fresh and endearing, you've come to the right place. Read Full Review

I will say that I was annoyed at the feminism in this issue. Im not exactly sure what bothers me yet. Im definitely not against feminism but this comic read more as girl empowerment than a comic with a strong lead. Many comics which seek female audiences are this way nowadays but they usually are from independent publishers. Part of the formula is to put down males. This comic has done a bit of that but not gone overboard yet in but I can sense that it will be one of those comics that Id rather skip. There is a way to write strong female leads without feminism taken to an extreme. Greg Rucka hates my guts but he did manage to reach that balance to his credits. Read Full Review

In final conclusion, this issue was good. The art to me it wasn't so strong, but it carried the story through. I am really anticipating what Fontana's approach will reveal in the story itself and see how she manages to add on to the character development that Rucka started is the previous issues. Overall for the price point its worth it if this is your kind of art. It is also worth it Read Full Review

Fontana and Andolfo give Wonder Woman a fresh start with a decent first part of a new arc. Read Full Review

"Heart of the Amazon" part one is a great start to a fresh arc, with wonderful art, emotion, fun, and dangerous adventures ahead. The new creative team on Wonder Woman have big shoes to fill following the last run, but if they keep this pace, I think we will all enjoy the ride. Read Full Review

The next adventure for this story arc makes itself radically clear at the end of the issue. There's a great cliffhanger implemented for securing our interest for the next issue. I'm here for it and ready to see how this new installment for Diana turns out. Read Full Review

Now the big question: should regular readers stick with it or wait until Robinson begins his run? I'd say yes. Fontana shows a lot of promise in her debut and the story has me interested in seeing how it will play out. This might not be the glory days of the title, but I'm still highly invested in Wonder Woman's adventures. Read Full Review

Technically proficient on every level, Wonder Woman #26 continues to peel back layers of Diana Princes complex psyche while also dropping some interesting clues about new potential subplots. Its a solid first outing for the new creative team, for sure, but the bar is set very high and theres a long way to go. Read Full Review

Shea Fontana's new run on Wonder Woman starts off with a promising, if flawed, issue - though it's great to have two female creators behind it. Read Full Review

It was always going to be a thankless task to follow Greg Rucka, Nicola Scott, Lim Sharp, and Bilquis Evely no matter what the finished product turned out to be, which might be why this issue just felt so" average. Read Full Review

This is an okay issue. There are some good ideas and I think Fontana has a good grasp on Diana's character and voice. The setting is cool and most of the art works. It just feels slow; I don't think this issue reads well on its own. I recommend waiting for the trade on this one. Read Full Review

Ultimately, it was a decent start to a new arc. A few major plot lines seem to have been abandoned unceremoniously, but time will tell on that. A few major plotlines have started, some with a bang (sorry! It was right there, I had to do it). The art and the writing are new and may take some getting used to, but the team has at least thus far shown they've got ideas and they're ready to run with them. Let's see where they go! Read Full Review

Overall, arcs which have too much going on are preferable to ones which have to stretch a thin amount of material into the length of a trade and Fontana's looks to err on the side of the former. With any luck, these are purely growing pains and Fontana will be able to properly examine these ideas. Read Full Review

It feels like Shea Fontana has an uphill battle with this arc coming in after Greg Rucka's run because of how important that felt for Rebirth and the future of the character, but Shea delivers us a fun issue with this and Mirka compliments that with her art style.  Yeah, we're diving deep into the psyche of Diana and how she deals with everything she sees, but if the balance of fun and these deeper elements continues, I see this being a really interesting arc going forward. Read Full Review

A new era for Wonder Woman Rebirth kicks off with a nice little story that mostly just maintains what came before. Read Full Review

Following an epic year-long tale told by a master storyteller like Rucka would be a daunting task for any writer, but Shea Fontana does a decent job picking up where Rucka left off. The book's opening shows Diana protecting a Muslim woman and her child is by far the highlight of the issue. Read Full Review

Ultimately, this is very much a set-up issue, and the gradual pace means its difficult to give a definitive prediction of just where this series is heading, or a conclusive scorecard for its new creative team. But, while Fontana and Andolfo are definitely going for a noticeably different tone and style to Rucka, Sharp and Scott, theres still a heck of a lot to like here. Read Full Review

The new Wonder Woman creative team doesn't immediately measure up to the old, and this series seems likely to lose its place as one of the best ongoing Rebirth comics. But on its own merits, this issue has something to offer fans. It's a relatively lighthearted and often charming little adventure that isn't afraid to explore the darker side of Diana's crusade. If not for the mixed art quality, this issue would be a perfectly solid addition to the Rebirth lineup. Read Full Review

Ultimately, Im not sold on Fontana and Andolfos run on Wonder Woman quite yet. Theres a lot to like in this issue, but it feels bloated with too many distinct characters and stories, not all of which are handled with grace. The potential is palpable, and its possible that this issue just represents growing pains for a new creative team. Im curious enough to come back for future issues, but that isnt a ringing endorsement. Read Full Review

In a less-than-standard issue, Fontana and Andolfo debut in full force. While I was disappointed with the issue, I recommend new readers, to comics or Wonder Woman in general, to check this issue out. It's a fine starting point with the character, especially for those jumping off from the new film. Read Full Review

First issues are probably the toughest thing in comics, and maybe even doubly so when that first issue falls in the middle of a run of superhero comics that come loaded with their expectations and hopes from a pre-existing fanbase. Sad to say, this just isn't one of those books that inspires much passion out of me at all, nor do I really feel much urge to make a return visit. I'm certain I will, as I read just about everything Wonder Woman related, but this initial chapter doesn't fill me with much hope that this'll be more than a brief pit-stop before the next big event in the character's evolution. Read Full Review

It was a boring read, but its also the first issue of a new Arc with a new creative team... Give it a few issues, it should heat up. Ps. The writing and art were perfect, just a slow pace.

Especially when a white guy came to attack a refugee in a refugee camp (lol) and WW comes out of nowhere. GREAT WRITING (clearly, not).

A step down in terms of quality compared to Rucka's run, but still I would consider this a fine beginning to a new Wonder Woman run. Every that I have read from Shea Fontana up until this point has been moderately good, so I trust that this run will be the same.

I get it's hard for a new creative team to take over a series that was doing well but this issue just doesn't excite me for what's coming next. I had some complaints about Rucka's writing seemingly throwing a lot of Diana's origin and continuity in limbo but The Truth turned out to be a solid read. I'm not sure about this but I will see where it goes. The art is bit cartoony for what I've gotten used to from Wonder Woman but it's not bad.

An average book. I am just happy to have Rucka off this book and I am excited to see where this story goes.

Wanna hear a joke? Evil white guy walks into a refugee tent for no reason, what happens next? Wonder Woman walks into it for some unknown reason in the known universe. SO RANDOM!!! Not to mention very slow and boring. This writer should go back to writing DC Super Hero Girls. Oh I almost forgot the punchline, here it is: Shea Fontana's "writing".

didn't liked the drawing . another tumblr artist who don't how to draw stories.
