I think a 7 is too nice but I agree completely with your points none of what is happening in this ish felt right at all...
IT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR THE SOVEREIGN! After the loss of her great love and the birth of her child, Wonder Woman decides this is a job larger than just one hero. Who will assist her in her ultimate quest for justice? Find out as Diana gathers her army!
It's a great spotlight for the Wonder Girls and Diana's newest ally, but as the last page makes clear, we're not seeing the culmination of Diana's revenge we're seeing act one, and it's going to be a doozy. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #15 is cathartic. This series has been a brutal boxing match. The Sovereign has been relentlessly swinging at Diana and her family. The book is a release of frustration, agony, and anger, taking down villains who have wrung every ounce of fury from the reader. Read Full Review
The segment featuring Steve Trevor in Elysium was also a standout. His struggle to find happiness in the afterlife, despite the comforts around him, is deeply moving. You can't help but feel for him and the heartache he's clearly experiencing from being separated from his true love. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #15 showcases the beginning of the end for The Sovereign, opting to highlight the supporting cast as the series mirrors events from earlier on. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #15 is a brilliant full circle moment for the series. Whilst it might be the beginning of a new arc, Tom King wraps up this first chapter as a reflection of his first issue on the book. There's joy in seeing Diana and her team striking back against The Sovereign. There's even more joy when it's witnessed through the incredible artwork of Daniel Sampere. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #15marks the beginning of the end for the Sovereign when Diana sends her Wonder Girls to dismantle the villain's wealth, brick by brick. Tom King's script is probably the best use of a mainline hero's extended family we've seen in a while, and King manages to avoid injecting off-putting elements for once. Plus, Daniel Sampere's artwork is next level.7.5/10 Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #15 is a good but not a great issue. King is a fan of playing with format, which you gotta respect, but it doesn't feel fulfilling enough to sustain an entire issue. It succeeds in showing the might of Wonder Woman and her Wonder Girls, but it plays out in a repetitive way, leaving you wanting. Read Full Review
Good not great. The art though has been chefs kiss
I feel like as far as the conflict goes, the Wonder gals did turn the tie with this assault. However, the facts this coordinated attack was thanks to the intel Trevor gave Diana just makes it all hallow. None of this supposed exchange of intel between Trevor & Diana was shown to take place. Comics are a visual medium after all.
I understand there are stories not told that happen between panels, but this doesn't feel "earned". It's like we've been given a bone in exchange for the death of Trevor. Not only that, but King uses the Wonder Gals to break the law and commit crimes in plane daylight. That doesn't feel right. You mean to tell me no heroes would interfere? No one would say anything to any of these Amazons? And you mean to more
It's just the usual Tom King Edgy crap. I give the art 10/10, writing 1/10
IDK. At this point Bendis could be writing this.
art is the only thing saving this series. The exposition feels too old-fashioned and sterile to make it engaging.
This is just headache inducing, garbage. The SOVEREIGN IS THE WORST THING EVER , HE NEVER SHUTS UP.
Tom King is a** people weren't joking when they told me this but seeing it for myself he is worse than I thought. Absolutely unbearable writing...
And the art is too good for such crap writing... I would give this a higher score just for the art but that would be lying to myself. The writing alone ruins any good aspect of this series so far...
