Though it had its less-than-appealing moments, it would be difficult for anyone to follow writer Mariko Tamaki's satisfying run on the series, which ended at the end of last year. Editors Brittany Holzherr and Jamie S. Rich have done a solidly respectable job of taking the character in a new direction that builds on Wonder Woman's impressive 60-year history. Read Full Review

In keeping this review spoiler-free I can only say so much. The more I read this book the more I come to the realization that even if this wasnt a spoiler-free review I would still not include spoilers just because this book deserves better treatment than that. It deserves the readers full attention and it deserves to bask in its glory when the reader falls in love with the contents. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #770 thrives on the strength of its lead character. By providing stories about Diana, both in the past and the present, the comic creates a well-rounded narrative that works whether this is a reader's first Wonder Woman comic or not. Both stories feature beautiful artwork that shows off the differences in art styles that comics can contain and the strengths of each. Whether a reader desires action and mystery or good-natured fun, Wonder Woman #770 delivers. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #770 was such a pleasant surprise.  While the elevator pitch of Wonder Woman ascending and ending up in Asgard had me worried, I loved just about every minute of it.  Great art, a couple of intriguing mysteries equal a great start, and one of the better Wonder Woman issues in quite some time.

Moore's art is phenomenal and the intriguing storyline that Cloonan and Conrad are brewing feels vibrant, sharp, brilliant, and energizing. I highly recommend giving this issue, as well as this run of WONDER WOMAN, a quality glance. Read Full Review

A good story to introduce people to Wonder Woman, as well as an interesting one for returning viewers and a look in on a little-seen mythology for DC Comics, "Wonder Woman" #770 has something for quite a few people. Read Full Review

I dont know how long this title can sustain this story with death and destruction while the secondary piece clashes with that tone. If anything I like the future of this title and potential directions Conrad and Cloonan can take it. Now it just needs a few more surprises and a more complementary secondary story to really earn must-read status. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #770 is a world building focused comic book as Michael W. Conrad and Becky Cloonan bring Asgard into the DC Universe. The Edge of Tomorrow-inspired story involving Wonder Woman was an interesting way to continue her arc that started in Infinite Frontier #0. Now with the foundation built we will hopefully see other elements and characters from Norse mythology developed to build out the supporting cast of this story. Read Full Review

Far more mundane of a storyline kick-off than I would have liked. Writing, art and idea are strong, but the creative team does not do enough in this first issue to really hook in the reader. Read Full Review

This is just beautiful. With that artwork and these colours it could have been an artbook. The worldbuilding is great and takes Diana to a different place. (Talking squirrels are always a good think) The only bad part is the backup feature, and it's not even bad.

The new creative team is of to one Heaven (ha!) of a start.
The story, placing Diana in a different kind(s) of afterlife, is a very interesting and promising one. The art is amazing. Nicely detailed while not overdoing it and well coloured.
The backup with young Diana is also so cute you guys!

This was actually much better than Immortal Wonder Woman. Even the backup, while not great, wasn't so bad.

Starting with this Issue Wonder Woman is now a double feature, and even though the main story and the back-up have very different vibes, I think it adds more to the book than that it takes away.

The main story is written by Becky Cloonan and Michael Conrad with fantastic art by Travis G. Moore and Tamra Bonvillain. Moore on lines and Bonvillain on colors have proven time and time again that they work great together and that's once more visible in this story. I hope we'll have the pleasure to see their art for at least two dozen Issues more.

While I wasn't as impressed by Cloonan's and Conrad's storytelling when I read Immortal WW, their work here - and on Infinite Frontier - shows that they can weave an intriguing and fun story with a mystery. That said the dialogue sometimes feels like pure exposition and therefore unnatural. They make it up with some great banter, though! I haven't laughed so much while reading the main WW title in quite some time.

The back-up story written by Jordie Bellaire, drawn by Paulina Ganucheau, and colored by Kendall Goode is about a young adventurous Diana. It's a very bright story that seems to aim at kids, which makes the 13+ rating on the Issue pretty ironic. While I can see why some readers might not like the tone-shift, I see it as getting both sides of the same coin. Being shown a glimpse into Diana's childhood, instantly made me compare her then to how she is being portrayed in the main story. That in turn made me appreciate both stories more.

I'm pretty sure anyone that likes Diana on Themyscira and is always ready to see a Kanga and the Amazons will have fun with the back-up story even if it isn't necessarily aimed at their age class.

But I am wondering why DC decided to include it. Are they hoping that parents reading the title, will feel inclined to show it to their kids? While back-ups appear in a couple of New Frontier titles, Wonder Woman is the only one that has the same main character in both stories. more

This gives me weird vibes but I’m willing to roll with it for now.

Absolutely loved the first story, great writing and art, really exciting where it will go to next. However, the backup, while I did not mind it and it found it very good for what it is, it definitely seemed to be targeted towards the younger readers, which is a bit weird.

Good start, even though the premise wore out its welcome. If this is just Diana going through a different sect of mythology each arc, I could get behind it. But this felt a lot more lowkey than it should have been. I was expecting more interactions with the Norse gods, but we only see Thor in one page, while Diana's main interaction is with some man(?). The art was good, I'm still interested in what is gonna happen next, hopefully more epic.

Siegfried is a norse hero said to have had super-human powers. I'm guessing he is being set up as the norse gods' champion the same way Diana is the greek gods' champion.

So... the new direction for Wonder Woman is to make her a Sif expy?

Didn't even pick it up. WHERE IS NUBIA ? Looked at all the solicitations for future issues, Yar gets her own series and phantom Wonder Woman gets another arc focused on her basically being the new Spectre that already ended in Death Metal, then in Future State, then in Infinite Frontier #0?
In Future State didn't Nubia get instated as the new WW?
Come on even Hippolyta is getting shine in Bendis' JL. Let Diana rest. Even Artemis took over in the 90's after the Contest. It's time for Nubia to take her bloodright and be DC's official Wonder Woman, Until then, don't expect me to pick up a fucking issue. DC keeping damn near every little change from Future State, but not the main one that was actually cool and exciting ? First Milestone gets teased and then released as only Digital Firsts and now this? I ain't having that.
(EDIT)
Know what's a great idea : I only read Action and Detective, I skip the Batman & Superman solo titles. DC needs to throw Nubia in Sensational, move that title to print and call it a day. The character deserves an investment, not to be Wally West-ed. My introduction to a version of her in Morrison's Multiversity was enough to convince me. DC needs to tap in.
