Wonder Woman #3 continues to lay incredibly solid groundwork to what is shaping up to be one of the all-time great runs for this character and should become DC's flagship Rebirth title. Read Full Review

And for real, kids, look at that art. Every panel is poster worthy and not in a self-indulgent splash page-fest sort of way. This is some Eisner-worthy stuff by all the creators involved as Wonder Woman is now poised to enter into a surge of hype and popularity. Films and other media are great, but when the comic is this damn good, something special is truly going on. Read Full Review

This issue is a hardcore continuation of the story that is not for the faint of heart, but well done nonetheless. Read Full Review

Its a testament to this creative trinity Rucka, Sharp, and Martin that I cant quite tell who is responsible for making it work, other than to say, all of them must. This unique congregation of creators, each weaving their talents around the others dialogue that pulls at the heartstrings combined with the passion and grace of line and color is a true testament to the power that Wonder Woman commands to inspire, to overcome distance, and to expose the truth. And most of all, to make us love. Read Full Review

I remain amazed at how consistently this comics marries a grand mythos with our most intimate of human experiences and can only hope that the emotional focus grows even sharper with the next issue. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #3 is a fantastic entry in this split narrative, moving “The Lies” forward in an intriguing manner. Not only does it build off the established narrative, but it also gives us a gripping confrontation between Diana and Cheetah, with the end result showing a different side of this arch nemesis. Read Full Review

With Wonder Woman's mainstream popularity on the rise, now is the best time to read Rucka's Wonder Woman. His characterizations are spot on, the art is fantastic and the story is proving to be an intriguing insight into Wonder Woman and the people in her life, whether ally or foe. Between this and the 'Year One' story in Wonder Woman's even numbered issues, it certainly is a good time to be a Wonder Woman fan. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #3 is an amazing example of how great Diana can be as a character. Sharp's art is a fantastic fit for this story and Martin's color really bring out its best qualities. Rucka has crafted an amazing character study for Diana and Cheetah in this one issue. This may be one of the best single issues of Wonder Woman written in recent memory. Read Full Review

Overall, this is another fine effort from Rucka the world re-builder and Sharp, the drawer of very, very pretty pictures. If, like me, you have no particular history with the characters (I dont believe that my childhood crush on Linda Carter counts) then you might need to have Google (other search engines are available. It is a lifestyle choice after all) handy to help you through the jungle quagmire that is Urzkartaga lore. But if thats the only drawback in this interconnected era, then pshwah, thats no drawback at all. Read Full Review

There are a few minor criticisms I have of the art; some artistic choices are off, like when Cheetah makes an aggressive move that is then negated in the next panel. For example, there is one moment where she is charging towards Wonder Woman in one panel, then in the next, she is just standing beside her. It can feel at times like there is too much action happening between the panels,which canlead to a slightly jarring reading experience. But, these are only momentary set-backs that never get in the way of an amazingly powerful story.This was an exceptionally strong issue that left me hungering for more. Read Full Review

So yeah, I had a lot to say about Wonder Woman #3. The thing is, it's the type of comic that I love writing about because of how rich it is. It's something I want to pick apart, analyze, and talk about. And that's great – it's what more comics should aspire to do. The entire creative team is doing some truly great work on this book, and I cannot wait to see how the story comes together over the course of the next few months. Read Full Review

The story is good and is getting more intriguing as it goes, but the art is on a whole other level. Read Full Review

This is, undoubtedly, the Wonder Woman title fans have been waiting years for. A must-read. Read Full Review

After Wonder Woman#3, the story is really starting to come into it's own, and this partly comes down to the inclusion of Cheetah. It's becoming a more well rounded plot, and we're genuinely intrigued as to where the story heads next. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #3 is a step up from the first issue and a good sign for the direction the present storyline is taking as long as we are not held up too much by the things we don't fully comprehend. Good writing followed by improving artwork. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman continues to impress as one of DC's best titles overall, and it's a great display of how this character can be done right. Now the question is if it's worth buying issue #4, or skipping that and buying issue #5 for the next part of this storyline… Read Full Review

It's nice to have a Wonder Woman story that you're really excited to read, every two weeks. While part of the problem with the overall volume is that each issue switches between stories, that's the biggest and only real worry thus far. The issue did move a tad slow, but in the grand scheme of things, the slower pacing lends itself to enhance the world and the story. It read great as a single issue and will read even better in trade. This is one of the Rebirth series you need to read. Read Full Review

The "Lies" continue in this issue of Wonder Woman, but to my surprise, the title of this story arc seems to play little to adding to the confusion of the story as this actually becomes something that's decently easy to follow, while opening up the doors to finding out more about Cheetah....... and it works great.  On top of that we have ourselves some excellent art throughout the issue and I find myself for the first time really caring where this story goes. Read Full Review

There will be those who will be turned off by Rucka's decompressed pacing, and with the slow B-story featuring Steve Trevor, they wouldn't be wrong. But ultimately, Rucka and Sharp zero in on what makes Wonder Woman such an inspiring character, making this one of the best issues she's had in years. Read Full Review

I'm not super familiar with Cheetah's history, both classic and recent, so I'm not entirely sure how this issue fits into the grand scheme of things. I don't know this ‘Urzkartaga' person or why Diana thinks Cheetah can help her find Paradise Island. But I liked the interaction between the two, and deepening their relationship into something more than comic book archenemies. And I really like Sharp's new Cheetah design (unless he's just using someone else's design, then I credit that person). I may not fully understand what's going on here and why it matters, but Rucka is doing a great job with Diana and the Cheetah so far, so I'm enjoying myself. I've got the feeling that this is going somewhere fun. Read Full Review

Next month the comic will slingshot back to the year one storyline. So far, I'm preferring this arc (and the jumping back and forth continues to be awkward). I am curious to learn more about Cheetah's curse and the source of the creatures chasing Diana. Worth a look. Read Full Review

While the story slowly unfolds, at least Liam Sharp's pencils are a treat.By the issue's end, Rucka seems to have finished setting up the bridge to Wonder Woman and Trevor's agendas to reunite them. Hopefully that will provide the spark the current day adventures need to get rolling. Read Full Review

Overall, I think this issue is okay. The art and colors are great, Diana is very well characterized and there's some cool mythology worked in. However, I still find the issue to be boring. It works on a technical level but it doesn't resonate with me that much. I would recommend waiting for the trade on this one. Read Full Review

DC is all-in with Wonder Woman at this point, but there's just not enough here yet. The longer that it takes Rucka and Sharp to get the house in order, the more readers they'll lose, and whatever they are building towards will have less impact. There is some good in the issue, with the character development and the hints of The Island of Dr. Moreau in some of the details of the arc, but it's almost equally balanced by frustration in both the plot development and the artistic execution. Great character work is incredibly important, but it can't be the only way for readers to get into a character. It won't take much for the creative team to right this ship, but they need to do it sooner rather than later. Read Full Review

Reader, I am sad. I truly wanted to enjoy this book and I really tried to see the positives in the first issues. But it is getting harder and harder when I'm just not enjoying the experience. Sigh. Back to you, JR. Read Full Review

My FULL and approved review is on the website with the link below: "The second chapter in the The Lies story arc impressed me a lot. The relationship between the two characters shows how complicated it is. It’s also the highlight and a surprise of this issue. Art continues to dominate especially with the face expressions although coloring still needs some work. The side-plot is not as entertaining, but it picked up from last time suggesting this is just the beginning. Overall, a vast improvement from something that was already good."

Really intriguing.

Great continuation of Lies, with the team up being one of the coolest parts of the comic.

Best issue to date.

I liked this comic. I thought the characterization of Wonder Woman was some of the best so far. Although I did feel that the plot has been moving fairly slow, hopefully it will pick up soon. I liked how Rucka has set up the mystery of this arc, really hammers home how confused Diana is.

The art and colours are astoundingly beautiful throughout. There is high quality artwork on show in a number of the rebirth titles, but this one ('The Lies' storyline) is quite possibly the best of all. The action proceeds at a good pace and we get a closer look at the plot as it develops so far in these early stages; with the artwork speaking the most powerful dialogue. For me, perhaps if anything lets it down it is the dialogue (i.e. the writing) itself, which lacks the same artistry and precision of the art in weaving this magical tale; but perhaps it only seems a little weak by comparison. Overall, I strongly recommend picking this up, a great story arc is shaping up here, perhaps one of the greatest for Wonder Woman as a character, only time will tell. more

Good albeit slow moving story with amazing art.

The art is great, but the story is very slow indeed.

I think I just need to realize that this book is not for me. The art is exceptional but I'm such a new Wonder Woman reader that a lot of this story is difficult to buy into. I'm not sure if I will continue to read this or not.

The story keeps the excitement at the minimum possible while only taking baby steps forwards and start to become predictable. Art is great but WHY DOES DIANA STILL CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN 1 EXPRESSION?
