Tension is high as Diana and Artemis successfully rescue Atalanta. Feelings are conflicted between the Amazons of Themyscira and the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall. A beautifully written issue. The emotional conflicts did not feel cheap. Read Full Review

Separately, Steve Orlando and the duo of Raul Allen and Patricia Martin have fast become some of my favorite emerging creators in recent years, and so I found it an absolute treat for them to collaborate, especially with a character for which Orlando in particular possesses such an evident understanding.

Wonder Woman is in the midst of a noticeable turnaround under Orlando whos making this a very enjoyable read once again. Read Full Review

This is a much more straightforward story than the first arc of his run, and Raul Allen's gritty art is a good fit, but it's no less entertaining than the twisty pyramid adventures of the previous issues. It's good to have a proper Wonder Woman title again. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman (2016-) #54 has it all, a power hungry queen, an evil councilor, and an unnecessary war. Orlando packs this issue with a particular punch, that won't just hit you in the gut, but in the feels too. Read Full Review

This book seems to continually struggle to find its way out of this loop of gods, corrupt rulers, and family in crisis. I'm hoping the next issue ties things together in a new way, and we don't see another case of Diana struggling with betrayal and loss. Read Full Review

This is a solid issue. I'm not super invested yet. I like a lot of the concepts and themes being presented but it's a little hard to judge without the rest of the story. But it is interesting and I'm curious to see what the resolution is. Additionally, except for that one panel, I do like this art a lot so I think it's worth reading. Read Full Review

If you can get past the art style change from the previous issue then you will find issue #54 quite enjoyable. If not, just wait a month and you will be rewarded with the wonderful return of Emanuela Lupacchino in issue #56 when Wonder Woman crosses over with Justice League Dark to bring you The Witching Hour.

Wonder Woman #54 sets very high expectations for the battle to come and lays out characters and stakes in a manner where they could tumble as quickly as a Jenga tower. Read Full Review

Following on directly from the last issue, this story sees the title's focus shift to a more grounded world of politics, power, and tribal belonging. While Rustam may be a little underwhelming, he's used well enough here and, the occasional dialogue excess notwithstanding, Orlando has told an enjoyable and fairly intriguing story. The art, while not quite at the level of Aco's last issue, is nevertheless excellent. I'm cautiously optimistic about where this story's heading. Read Full Review

In the end, this was the weakest chapter so far of the current arc. Its just disjointed and out of place, leaving the whole issue feeling messy and rushed. Maybe there were constraints with the amount of room Orlando had to tell his story, especially with a new permanent writer coming on after him, or maybe he just doesnt like exposition, even when its necessary. Either way, the story was hurt by the abrupt changes and new characters being wedged in. With any luck, Orlando will regain his footing next issue, because his run has been pretty solid up to this point. Read Full Review

The dialogue is overbearing to a fault, but without that this seems like it could be a decent story.

only Steve Orlando thinks people talk like this. and omg it is disgusting to see the way he's portraying Artemis...

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 2.
-1 because: the art was distractingly bad.
-1 because the dialog was just bad.
-2 because: Artemis is so much better lately in RHATO, this is just garbage.
