Meet the new dynamic duo! Wonder Woman teams up with the unlikeliest of allies, Robin, on a top secret mission to save their fellow heroes. Will Damian and Diana’s quest to break into Waller’s Gamorra supermax prison be a successful one? Or is it all part of a more elaborate trap for Wonder Woman and her new sidekick?
This is not the first Tom King issue of Wonder Woman that likely reflects on KIngs seven years with the CIA. Her capture at the hands of the Sovereign featured an extended PSYOP-style attempt to break Wonder Woman down. This kind of focus on captivity and interrogation is an interesting one for the DC Universe that adds quite a bit to the darker edges of a world populated by Superman, Green Arrow and the Justice League.

It's a strong Absolute Power tie-in, but also very much a pure Tom King story. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #12 (2024) is a tremendous team-up. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #12 is a fun look into the minds of Wonder Woman and Robin as they utilize their different tactics to attempt to gather information about Wallers whereabouts. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #12 is a fun read from beginning to end. King continues to draw out what makes Wonder Woman special, but never forget she's human with her own flaws. Paired with the backup, Wonder Woman is a love letter to superheroes. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #12 is a surprisingly fun chapter in DC's heavy summer event. Though Absolute Power always looms on the horizon, seeing Diana and Damian working together makes for a fun and unexpected chapter. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #12 may very well be the best comic book issue from Tom King's creative run on this series. The story is a simple interrogation issue that focuses more on exploring Diana Prince and Damian Wayne's dynamic rather that furthering he greater Absolute Power event. This choice works to the strength of the story King and Tony Daniel told. Diana and Damian share a unique dynamic that sees them open up in ways they don't normally with others. Definitely a comic book to check out if you are a Wonder Woman or Robin fan. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #12 delivers a tie-in issue that's high on mild humor but short on importance when Diana and Damian Wayne team up to play good cop/bad cop with Captain Boomerang. Tom King's humor mostly lands, and the interactions between Diana and Damian are surprisingly engaging, but King's clipped English dialog for Diana almost reaches Yoda levels of odd, and the contribution of this plot to Absolute Power is practically non-existent.

With the story on repeat, the real winner here is Tony Daniel's art which is just a treat, particularly when it comes to Boomerang. Read Full Review
I really loved the banter here, even if the resolution was a bit of a cliché.
A lot better than the last issue. I wasn't expecting a Diana & Damian team-up in the main story, but I quite enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to it continuing in the next issue. The backup story was also a fun time, as per usual.
Thankfully, the Dickens bot is gone and we get a much more enjoyable story this time around. I still think Diana is written... well, wrong. She's written like one of those poorly aged 90s "foreigners" that the Americans have to teach the ways of the west, most often seen in poorly aged 90s sitcoms. How does she not know what a steak is? Or hell, what a blooming onion is? She's lived in DC for how long? I live near DC, steaks and blooming onions are everywhere. On every street corner. You can't avoid it. It's the new opioid crisis, but this one makes you fat. That aside, the issue is fun. It has more of that charm that the backups tend to have, and I welcome that, for sure.
I don't know what Tom King was doing with Diana here. She acts like she's right off the boat when she's been in the US for decades. What is this onion you speak of? Cmon. The interaction with Damien was cute. There was no real story here and I'm not collecting Absolute Power anyway, so it didn't bother me. Boomerang giving up the info on his own was funny. Any break from Tom King's normal disaster of a story is a pleasure.

This issue is not good. Don't know what the point of it was.
Really lacking substance
This was garbage
