Wonder Woman...under arrest! As she starts to protect her new hometown of Boston, the city wonders-who will protect Boston from her? Agent Nora Nunes must shadow Wonder Woman for a day to ensure the city will be safe if Diana resides there. But what starts as a tranquil day transforms into disaster relief, and Diana and Nora will need to survive not only the elements, but also the arrival of the three Dark Fates!
When Wonder Woman first moved to Boston it was in another life back at the beginning of George Perezs iconic run on the title. That run featured a rich, engaging ensemble of characters that had a tendency to push Wonder Woman to the corners of her own book. Orlando is opening THIS Boston chapter in Dianas life with a bit of a more tempered approach to the title which looks like its going to allow Wonder Woman to remain in the center of the panel. This is a promising direction for Wonder Woman. Read Full Review
Jan Duursema delivers some beautiful art in the issue. The action is great and Duursema does an amazing job of framing a scene with detailed backgrounds. A great looking issue. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #751 does pretty much everything that it needs to. This is maybe not the most streamlined issue, but it puts everything in the right place to get the series back on track. Without the influence of the "Year of the Villain" tie-in, things are mostly back to normal. It is a new start, but it is well set up thus far, with intriguing new supporting characters and new roles. There is also the introduction of new villains and the return of some old ones. Fans of the series will be pleased with the start of this new arc. Read Full Review
It's been nearly impossible to judge Steve Orlando's run until now because he was dealing with subplots from the G. Willow Wilson run, but with Wonder Woman #751, we get our first glimpse at Orlando's vision " and it's a very promising start. Read Full Review
Coming off of the beautiful love letter that was Wonder Woman #750, #751 is a delightful day-in-the-life type of story that, in a sense, allows the reader to see Wonder Woman from the eyes of a skeptic. Read Full Review
So far it seems the series will be putting more focus on ideas, specifically what Diana stands for and how she acts on that. It has set up a nice system to discuss those ideas in the future. Diana is just as inspirational as ever and the way she behaves in this issue proves it. The multitude of glimpses of future elements have thoroughly piqued my interest, and have created a great sense of anticipation. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman # 751 outlines Orlando's approach to the Wonder Woman mythos. Along with Jan Duursema, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Pat Brousseau, Orlando crafts a story determined to show that his Wonder Woman run is going to be a female-driven effort to synthesize previous runs through the unifying themes of love and compassion. Read Full Review
Orlando introduces a new potential threat or an ally at the end of the issue, which is a welcome sight as Wonder Woman writers have struggled coming up with new foes besides Cheetah, Giganta, Ares, Circe and Silver Swan. Read Full Review
I have faith in Orlando to pick things up in the coming issues. With no doubt, the stories will get more intense and questions will begin to get answered. I look forward to the coming issues. Wonder Woman #751 and #752 were a solid pair of books for the start or Orlandos' run and hopefully he can keep it going. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #751 continues this title's creative resurgence under author Steve Orlando, hearkening to new and old readers alike that it's a great, great time to be reading this title! Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #751 accomplished what it needed to accomplish. Steve Orlando gave Wonder Woman a fresh start. In doing so Orlando was able to develop Wonder Woman's supporting cast and create interest in the new Hoursewomen as big threats for the future. Orlando's strong story was strengthened by the strong artwork Jan Duursema provides throughout the story. The detail Duursema gives each character went a long way in helping create a sense of pushing forward with the story in Wonder Woman #751. Read Full Review
A simply structured, impressively drawn story becomes the frame on which writer Steve Orlando hangs his 'manifesto' for the series going forward. Focusing on Diana's compassion and sense of fairness, as well as showing a determination to mine DC's rich history for plot elements and antagonists, Orlando has got this reviewer at least intrigued as to what the future for this title might hold. Read Full Review
Overall, I enjoyed the story and I'm curious to see where Orlando will be taking this arc with Wonder Woman. There were some stories mentioned in the final few pages I am not covering to keep it spoiler-free, but this definitely opens up some really interesting issues moving forward. Read Full Review
The issue also offers a new mythological threat for Wonder Woman as the rising storm (which she helps those around the city prepare for) is revealed to be the work of the Dark Fates who, after Cheetah‘s failure to beat Wonder Woman (despite all their help), now look to deal with her directly… no doubt foreshadowing trouble to come. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Just started to read this and so far it’s good.
This issue came as a bit of a disappointment. Artwork remained strong as per usual in the series, just that there was no point in the officer to "try" and arrest Wonder Woman, especially after #750's cliffhanger. The only reason this has a 6.5 is because of the ending, curious to see how this plays out, and the artwork.
Prelude:
Time for a new arc. Let's see if Orlando can improve compared to his most recent arc on the title.
The Good:
I like the human perspective.
The Bad:
It's a bit boring.
Dark Fates don't work for me.
Conclusion:
It's below my passing threshold. It's ok but could be a lot better.
Oh Wonder Woman you are such a perfect angel, I think your major flaw is how kind you are.
This series is boring as can be.
