Must a world without love be one without our hero? Wonder Woman is forced to discover a new way to fight after the destruction of her golden lasso and unbreakable bracelets at the hands of Cheetah and her God Killer sword. How can she possibly stop the unstoppable?
Scot Eaton has some amazing art in this issue. The fight between Diana and Cheetah is tense and well done. The ending is thoughtful and sad in its tone. A really well done issue. Read Full Review
Wilson also follows up on a subplot she's been building up for a while now. It's still a little surprising to see play out, but it makes sense in the grand scheme of this arc. Whenever a writer is preparing to leave a book there's a sense of lame duck status with nothing having any real significance. Wilson is laying a foundation for her successor that could lead to some interesting directions or be ignored. Either way she's delivering a compelling story on her way out. Read Full Review
The big ideas in this run are intriguing, but the little details sometimes need work. Read Full Review
This is an okay issue. I'm still not that invested into even the premise of this story. It's not fun or interesting to see Diana sit around sadly while every other character drives the story forward. And I don't think losing love will cause Diana to be like this; that's a hurdle I'm having trouble with. The art is good and there are interesting ideas throughout the issue. It's all well constructed but it's not coming together for me. Read Full Review
This book is an uninspired collection of characters and moments (but not many character moments mind you) that keep going nowhere...slow. G Willow Wilson never seemed to get comfortable on this book and since she announced she would be leaving it soon, we are in lame-duck territory. I need a Wonder Woman book that I can love and sadly, this isn't it. Read Full Review
The third chapter of "Loveless" provides nothing new to this story, opting instead to reiterate the same dull beats that have sent the series into narrative doldrums. Read Full Review
It's okay.
Prelude:
Wilson's Wonder Woman has been passable recently so here's hoping that continues or improves.
The Good:
Wonder Woman continues her downward spiral and the world with it's lack of love. I'm now losing interest in these though.
The Bad:
It's a lot of what we've had so far.
Steve and Diana breaking up.
Cheetah is a bit too weak in this which is funny considering she has the God Killer.
Conclusion:
This issue follows the same tread as the previous two but with less effectiveness and poorer decisions.
I refuse to believe that losing the ability to love would be this intensely debilitating for everybody and everything.
Man, there's a lot of relationship drama that's concocted out of thin air. Would you believe this writer also wrote Ms. Marvel, whose interpersonal drama was a highlight?
