Wonder Woman has been spotted in Sweden?! After narrowly escaping some deadly reflections of herself, Diana has made it to the resting place of Siegfried. In order to forge her new path forward as a hero, she needs to stop living in the past and sever her ties to the Sphere of the Gods. Little does she know, another ex is trying to get in touch with her…and it’s a matter of life and death! Meanwhile, in Bana-Mighdall, the Amazons make their final stand against a malevolent manticore!
Cloonan and Conrad have a really solid grasp of Dianas life both in and out of costume. Idle moments at a cafe and in a hotel room further explore a casual friendship between Diana and Deadman, making for some of the more appealing social moments of Dianas 80th anniversary year. Diana and Deadman make for an appealing pair. The contrast between the thoughtful nuance of Dianas story and the rugged aggression of Artemis battle makes for a remarkably well-rounded issue. The many complicated facets of Wonder Womans world continue to expand in another well-crafted, heartfelt issue. Read Full Review
Were only two issues into the second arc from the CloonRad team, and weve already introduced to a new threat for Wonder Woman, development on the Dr. Cizko subplot, more fun with Diana & Boston, plus further development for the Bana Migdhall tribes from Vita Ayala as we head closer to the upcoming 2022 Wonder Woman event. This book just seems to get better with every new issue. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #782 is a fine example of why this title has been so good. We not only get multiple plot elements that are "connected," but the characters never get shortchanged. It's balanced. Plus, there's just enough of Wonder Woman's history intertwined to make it feel classic while also being new. Read Full Review
Takara delivers some great art. There are great action beats to be found and the character moments between Diana and Boston are visually engaging. Read Full Review
The backup was probably a little more satisfying than the main story this issue and has me more interested to follow the narrative. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman is in a better place than it was a few months ago, but it's still not at can't miss status. Maybe this arc can help turn things around assuming Cloonan and Conrad pick up the pace sharper. Read Full Review
Not good, but not bad, this is an interesting if not pretty average-ish issue of things that hopefully will turn around. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #782 is a mess of an issue that shows that Conrad and Cloonan have no idea how to write Deadman, but worse than that, plot an interesting issue. Everything is forced forward in a convoluted way to get to a cliffhanger which feels like an attempt to be clever but will leave most readers scratching their heads. Read Full Review
I'm enjoying this arc even more now.
Cloonrad have found the right voice for Diana. It's great to see another Wonder villain enter this story, and despite guest star Deadman, who continues to have fun and heartfelt interactions with Diana, Diana's Man's World supporting cast isn't forgotten either.
Takara's art is even better than last Issue and Patridge's art fits the Bana-Mighdall so well, it's almost a crime that she doesn't have a proper Wonder book to work on.
Ayala continues to flesh out the Bana well. The worldbuilding is great, and I enjoyed the focus on Faruka's and Atalana's difference in leading style.
Solid continuation from the previous issue.
Really liking this Artemis backup however.
Slightly better than the previous issue, but this story still seems like it needs to pick up the pace.
Wonder Woman - 6/10, ehh this issue felt a bit average to me, nothing special about the plot and the dialogues a bit dull
Road to the trial of the amazons - 7/10, the script fell a bit flat for me but the plot and cliffhanger were interesting
Cloonan & Conrad are boring as usual, with a dull plot, and mediocre art. Ayala’s back-up is a little better, but not much better.
