WALLER'S WAR! Wonder Woman's quest for the truth is placed on hold as she comes face-to-face with Amanda Waller's latest toy, a TASK FORCE VII robot ready to take all her powers for good! Do the Justice League Dark have enough tricks up their sleeves to save our Amazon princess? Find out as this tie-in to Absolute Power begins!
King has a simple task: get Wonder Woman believably captured by Amazo in order to serve the larger narrative of Absolute Power. This is really, really difficult as Wonder Woman is unquestionably powerful. Its always so difficult to bring that sort of thing across believably, but King manages it with great fluency and flair in an issue that once again shows Wonder Womans greatest, most universally consistent power: her empathy. She may be one small part in a larger crossover featuring a HELL of a lot of other characters, but King manages to keep Wonder Woman deep in the heart of another satisfying issue. Read Full Review
This story is a little more straightforward than King's usual issues, even in this title, and it's odd to not see any of the characters from the main series like Cheetah here, but it's interesting to see how the two stories intersect and how the harsh lessons Diana learned in the previous ten issues have carried over.

DC's Absolute Power claims yet more victims as Wonder Woman and the Justice League Dark fall foul of one of Amanda Waller's Amazo robots. Read Full Review
If you like action, you'll enjoy Wonder Woman #11. I can't say the dialogue worked for me, from Detective Chip to the Amazo, but Daniel impresses with the action. Pair that with another excellent backup, and it's a solid issue. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #11 accomplishes exactly what readers looking to check out tie-ins to big comic book events will want. Tom King expands on what we saw in Absolute Power #1 by giving us what felt like director's cut content that provided insight into Wonder Woman's side of the story. In the process King and Tony Daniel deliver what is easily the most fun issue of this creative run to date. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #11 delivers a fast-paced, action-packed issue that pits the Justice League Dark against one of Amanda Waller's Amazo robots. If you want a comic that's nothing but a fight from beginning to end, you'll probably be pleased. That said, this issue contributes nothing new to the Absolute Power event, and the plot is riddled with inconsistencies concerning the characters in this issue and the same characters in other Absolute Power comics, which misses the whole point of a tie-in.

Wow, that was certainly something. I tried to like it more than I did, honestly. However, the Amazo robot constantly quoting Charles Dickens for no apparent reason was just super weird, and it was especially so considering that none of the other characters really responded to what they were saying half the time. Daniel was a fine fill-in artist, but Sampere might have made this a little better for me. Aside from that, the backup story was fun, as per usual. I've really liked Ortega's art each time.
This issue is an exercise in restraint, or lack thereof. King has this idea to have this Amazo Bot spew out Charles Dickens quotes the entire issue, and while there are certainly parallels between the quotes and what is happening, I don't think it works. It's functional, sure, but it's not engaging and it takes you out of the issue the entire read. That coupled with some god awful dialogue from multiple characters, and you've got a rather grating issue. The backup is what saves the day, as always. King can inject Damian, Jon and Trinity with such character and personality, but god forbid any of that trickles upward towards Diana.
This issue is complete garbage. The entire fight with the Soveriegn is somehow, magically put on hold. The Absolute Power storyline and concept makes no sense and here it is once again - a DC event interrupting all of the other titles. I'm so over it. Not that the Wonder Woman Tom King run has been good, but at least we had good art. Now we get a bunch of heroes playing cards and hiding from danger. WTF. Then we have robots that are able to steal alien DNA to take powers and give it to themselves. They can also steal magic and powers given by gods. These are not robots they are gods themselves and I'm not buying any of it. It's completel bullshit. The original Amazo duplicated powers, he didn't remove magic and DNA. I'm probably being to ni more
Tom king fails to write a woman character again. This books need to end.
