Wonder Woman must stop Valda, a time-displaced knight from causing chaos in Boston. But the real question is: Is Valda friend or foe?! Plus: The secret origin of Warmaster revealed!
Wonder Woman had gotten into this stale place, but Orlando really has the title on a track to be one of the strongest titles for DC in 2020, which would be perfect timing with the buzz for Wonder Woman 1984 building. Dont miss out on this one. Read Full Review
Wonder Womans return to Boston hits another snag as she encounters danger the likes of which the town rarely contends with. Wonder Womans first adventures in Boston back in the late 80s George Perez era werent nearly as tied to the region as they might have been. Orlando has an opportunity to rectify that as Wonder Woman returns to the town in a chapter of Dianas life, which shows considerable promise early on. Orlando has firmly established an appealing opening. With any luck, hell be able to move it in an appealing direction from here. Read Full Review
Steve Orlando seems to have a very good grasp on Diana's character, even as it's still unclear in Wonder Woman #752 what the overall master plan for his run is Read Full Review
If seeing Wonder Woman duke it out with a medieval knight is your jam, then you’ll want to pick up this issue. It’s a fun read, though a tad slow to get into the meat of this arc. The art alone is worth the price of admission for this brawl. Read Full Review
Overall, issue #752 course corrects from a bumpy prior issue and begins to dive into the heart of an interesting story. Orlandos grand design for this story is beginning to take shape, and I'm ready to consume issue #753 as soon as it's ready. Read Full Review
Max Raynor's art is what really engaged me with this issue. The action was great and the characters look fantastic. There are some great backgrounds throughout and there was a harmony to the visuals as the story progressed. Read Full Review
Dynamic art and a cameo from the dark ages keep the action chugging along respectably enough, although Orlando arguably overdoes the compassionate Diana bit at times. Not mind-blowing but not terrible either. Read Full Review
"Wonder Woman" #752 depicts Diana acclimating her supporting cast to the modern world and seeds greater dangers lurking in the cracks of the issue. Read Full Review
Overall, there is a lot going on in the issue, but while there may be many moving parts, the book is tightly told, full of action, and a solid read. Read Full Review
This is an okay issue. Most of it is taken up by the fight between Diana and Valda which is fun. The dialogue is solid and I like how Diana resolves the fight. Orlando knows how to write this character. But that story being part of Warmaster's machinations takes it down. I don't find her to be a compelling villain due to a lame and over used motivation. I'm curious to see where some of this goes such as how Donna fits in but this issue wasn't super enjoyable for me. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #752 attempts to have some lofty things to say about Wonder Woman's moral code in combat, but winds up being an underwhelming outing overall. Read Full Review
Awesome.
Prelude:
Wonder Woman started off its new arc poorly but let's see how it fares this time.
The Good:
Valda is cool.
Some much needed explaining for Paula's motives.
The Bad:
Cliffhanger is basic.
Conclusion:
It's a good issue and some good characters.
This was ok, more of Wonder Woman getting to know Valda and setting a similar agenda in getting her home. Cliffhanger was decent.
Knights: went out of style in the late Middle Ages. Crusading: out of fashion even earlier. That outfit: out of fashion in every era forever. The word chromium: didn’t even exist until the early 19th century. This comic is so boring that I just did a deep dive about all of that rather than think about it.
A recap page would've been nice here. These Orlando issues... They leave my brain as soon as I finish reading them. This issue will probably be no exception.
