Wonder Woman (2016-) #64 turns the pressure up on Wonder Woman, who continues to struggle with her place in the world. G. Willow Wilson continues to ask the big questions of Wonder Woman's character and identity. How will our hero fair? Read Full Review
Jesus Merinos art is fantastic. There are some beautiful details in both the characters and the backgrounds. An amazing looking issue. Read Full Review
Wilson hasn't missed a beat yet on this title. Read Full Review
It remains to be seen if this arc will turn out to be a familiar tale or something with an original take, but either way the art and the writing are keeping things entertaining and a worthy read. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman has been up and down with this latest run, but I really dig what Willow and the team are doing here. Read Full Review
A serviceable issue with a powerful ending that will hit you in the gut like a wayward truck. Read Full Review
While it's good and a very interesting read once you get to the meat of the issue to find out exactly what might be causing this round of spurning from Cale, it's just not exactly my cup of tea. Read Full Review
All in all, this wasnt a terrible opening to Wilsons new arc by any means, but it should have been stronger in order to win over possible new readers, or people who were on the fence after the first arc. Theres no strong hook for the story, and that is a must in a first chapter. Wilson has earned enough good will on the title so far, but it will run out quick if she doesnt pull up out of her nosedive fast. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman is one of the biggest characters in comics and her book deserves to be an important part of DC's lineup. We aren't there yet – and part of me feels like I'm talking myself up here – but I am legitimately curious as to if this story can get us there. Read Full Review
Weird plots and plot points keep stacking up in an otherwise well-drawn Wonder Woman comic. Read Full Review
It's difficult to say whether this version of Wonder Woman is the one that will stick around, or if this book is still exploring different aspects of the people and places that are part of the mythos. If you've missed a few issues, this might be a good time to check in and see if it grabs you more now. If not, just wait a few and see what happens. Read Full Review
I don't care for this issue. The art is the immediate thing that put me off. I have tough time enjoying a comic if the art doesn't suck me in. In terms of the story, I think it's a little dull and played out but I'm still curious to see where it goes. Read Full Review
No matter who you are, it's heartbreaking to see our favourite heroes cry. Wonder Woman crying is just devastating, it made me feel devastated. But there is so much going in the now, that you might forget about it. Humans chaining up goddesses is a great metaphor if you can see it. Jesus Merino's artwork is up to notch. It compliments Wilson's above par story, which is in turn, hard to swallow and will put lump in your throat at the end.
"Can I get your John Hancock?"
I did not expect for the ending of this issue to hit me right in the feels, it was sad.
G. Willow Wilson is getting better and better with every issue. I love how she portrays Wonder Woman. Diana is kind, compassionate, tries to de-escalate conflict when she's able to and when she's not, she can handle the problem differently.
The only thing that brings this issue down for me is the art. Merino's pencils aren't bad by any means, but I'm just not a fan of them. I prefer WW with more... slick looking art. Something like Nicola Scott or Emanuela Lupacchino.
Fine work - Jesus Merino has a classic style, and I mean that in a good, George Perez-ish way. Wilson continues to use a variety of tones throughout her short run, and I am impressed with her versatility.
Well the dialogue is getting better! So is the story! The art looked amazing! Though did have a few forced panels but overall good start to a story arc. Just wish Veronica Cale wasn’t Wonder Woman first choice.
I don't know, sometimes it starts big and ends in a pretty average note. I like what Wilson has done with Aphrodite, having her in any scene makes things go smooth, may be it's because she's a likeable character by default.
The evil plan here is kind of stupid and I’ve definitely seen it executed better. Wonder Woman literally has a rope that can make people tell the truth, but yeah, just blatantly lying to her face is 100% the way to trap her.
The pacing here is odd at times and I'm not really feeling the weight of the emotion. I think this series would be better served going back to a monthly schedule, so each issue is more comprehensive.
