All good things must end! Janus’s murderous rampage through the Multiverse leads Diana and her allies to a place in between worlds where Wonder Woman will come face to face with her darkest fear…a future without her in it! Plus, in our tale set years ago, Princess Diana's quest for truth comes to a thrilling conclusion!
Conrad, Cloonan, and company have led Diana on quite a journey in recent months. One gets the feeling that the ending might have had a bit more impact if theyd been allowed a bit more time in each of the worlds that Diana had fallen through, but this is a largely satisfying end to the journey. Bellaires story serves as an enjoyable introduction to the Adventures of Young Diana one-shot special, arriving in October. It will be interesting to see how Bellaire and Ganucheau handle an extended 80-page story. Theyve done so well with an ongoing serial at the end of Wonder Womans legacy series. Given more space, they should have a bit more freedom to explore the world of Young Diana. Read Full Review
The final chapter of Cloonan, Conrad, and Moores epic Homeric odyssey through the multiverse, while providing a meta commentary on comic fandom, and the devotion for continuity through the use of the characters introduced in this arc. The dichotomy of Januss two sides, and the absolutes that both represent, are tempered when theyre together. Its a novel approach to comics as they try to ensure the relevance of the characters, and the cultural impact theyve given us through the decades of publication. Read Full Review
Travis Moore delivers some exciting visuals and the lack of detail in the backgrounds does a great job of emphasizing the characters. Read Full Review
This run has made great use of mythology over its run, and while I don't think this issue reaches the heights of the previous one that took Diana to some of the strangest worlds in the multiverse, it does have some clever twists that bring in the Greek Gods as well as some mysterious new power players.

"Afterworlds" ends in Wonder Woman #779 thoughtfully and with a provocative resolution. The good news is that Cloonan and Conrad will be on board next issue to explore Diana's return to Earth and guide her adventures. Perhaps, this is all just the groundwork for something even bigger are more monumental. It is certainly implied that something is coming to Diana's future that we have to believe is part of her destiny and a valid interpretation of her character, something just as valid as a classic iteration. There's also a question posed in this issue, "Can characters really change, permanently or will a significant contingent of fans always decry such things?" Read Full Review
The wild ride that has been Diana's pursuit of Janus comes to an end in Wonder Woman #779 and it is ultimately a satisfying, albeit predictable end. Read Full Review
Writers Michael W. Conrad and Becky Cloonan wrap this arc in less than exciting fashion, which feels fitting for this overly drawn out storyline. It had reached a point where salvaging it was going to be tricky and the best thing to do was just end it. Hopefully, Conrad and Clooney can find a more exciting and engaging approach for the next storyline, which features Wonder Woman's return to the regular timeline. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #779 is a disappointing end to a disappointing (and overlong) story. I'm sure that some will argue that this story was about the journey, not the destination, but if that's the case, I sit here doubly upset. I hope Cloonan and Conrad can pull something better together for their next arc because Diana and her fans deserve much better! Read Full Review
An enjoyable ending.
Arc was a bit long and I could see a better streamlined version of this story but overall a solid conclusion the storyline. The team made the best they could with where Death Metal left Diana t the end of that series. Looking forward to Diana heading back to the main Earth have some trust in this creative team to use more of her supporting cast and villains.
This is something I'm beginning to see Wondy tackles more than others. In this and JMS' run, it's the talk of how gods are practically stand-ins for executives and the side of Janus are no different. The past guy is all for nostalgia, while the future prospecting lady wants the past to die because people attach themselves to it. Only problem is, this same argument just seems to be stuck in a limbo, kind of like the Norns themselves.
Wonder Woman earned her place in the greats, but she and all of her contemporaries seem doomed to be repeating this conflict. I'm glad this story arc ended, but it seems it just more creators' angry rants on how the DC executives won't take chances and how many creators stick so closely to their nosta more
This is a fine wrap up to the way too long first arc of this run. It started out really strong and just devolved into a really generic superhero comic. I don't understand it. But hey, maybe we can start fresh with next issue. God, I hope so.
Much better than the last few issues, but damn this arc ended up being so disappointing and stretched out
horrible from bad to worse
Omg that was just pathetic. Another social commentary. I know ww is not as popular as Clark or Bruce. But that crap is most definitely not gonna help
