    But Why Tho? - William Tucker Oct 24, 2023

    Wonder Woman #2 is a show of strength and steel. Wonder Woman has often been presented as a being of compassion and love, but King is also hammering home the point that she is one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe. Read Full Review

    Razorfine - Alan Rapp Oct 29, 2023

    While I'm not overly interested in the Amazon's Attack! event that this comic is helping to set up, and which the back-up story foreshadows, Wonder Woman #2 is easily one of the best comic books I've read this year providing action while at the same time exploring the character of Diana, who she is, why she fights, and why she must take a stand for what's right.

    Wonder Woman #2 is a fantastic issue of a series that is starting very strong. There are some other great comics out this week, but this is the one you should buy. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Nov 8, 2023

    There might have been some doubt that Wonder Woman was in good hands at the end of the first issue of the current series. That doubt evaporates pretty quickly with the second issue. King and company arent doing anything with Wonder Woman that she hasnt done before, but they manage to make it work in a way that feels new and novel while embracing the traditions of one of the most storied heroes in the history of popular fiction. Wonder Womans been a fugitive before. Shes been up against similar villains in the past. If King and company are going to keep things fresh, theyre going to have to continue to do the kind of job that they have done with the second issue.  Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Oct 24, 2023

    That's why I'm sure it'll frustrate people that this entire issue takes place amid a fifteen-minute battle segment of Diana vs. the US military, combined with a lengthy flashback to the final battle of Diana's initial tournament on Themysciraand it is a very odd way to start a run only two issues in. But you know what? It doesn't matter, because it's excellent. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Oct 24, 2023

    Sampere delivers some beautifully detailed and dramatic art throughout the issue. There are some beautiful moments that showcase the power and beauty of the character and I love the visual contrast between the past and the present. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Oct 24, 2023

    Wonder Woman #2 slows down a bit to reveal how brave and confident Wonder Woman is when entering battle. Not only that, we get to see her abilities pushed to the max as she faces a literal army. Wonder Woman hits with ferocity and intensity, unlike any other superhero comic. Read Full Review

    The Comicbook Dispatch - kcscribbles Oct 24, 2023

    Wonder Woman #2 continues the story arc with a mixture of great character moments and action. Like the best stories, this tale holds a mirror up to our current political climate and issues were wrestling with in the real world. Though Sargent Steel is a hammy villain who detracts from the grimness of the story, theres still a lot to love here and I look forward to seeing what happens next. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Oct 28, 2023

    This second issue is all style and substance, using a strong voice and some plain, simple badassery to build this new Wonder Woman comic. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi Oct 24, 2023

    This new era of Wonder Woman is only on issue #2 but is off to a promising start. Tom King works best telling smaller, more focused, and personal stories and it has been some time since he has been constantly on a major ongoing series. Daniel Samperes art is a fantastic fit for the story that King is telling. So far, the series has picked up some momentum and the narrative is engaging and well-written. Read Full Review

    Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles Oct 25, 2023

    This was a rough follow-up to what was a pleasant debut issue. King's biggest problem might be he writes stories with the thought that they're going to be epic classics that need to pass some high literature test. Instead, he misses the moments to make a fun comic and portrays everything far too seriously. And where's the fun in that? Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez Oct 23, 2023

    Wonder Woman #2 is a visually pleasing action comic that moves at a snail's pace and gives you nothing in return for the time you invest reading it. King makes no progress on the plot, the mystery behind Emelie's actions, or unveiling anything about the Sovereign. If you skipped this issue, you won't miss a thing. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez Oct 24, 2023

    Wonder Woman #2 is a massive dropping of the ball from a story perspective. Tom King failed to push the story forward in a meaningful way. Luckily Daniel Sampere stepped up big to make Wonder Woman appear as the badass she is with big event-level artwork. The Amazons Attack back-up by Josie Campbell and Vasco Georgiev at least saved things from the story side as we got some development for the bigger direction of the franchise. Hopefully King steps his game up in the next issue to push the story forward. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd Oct 24, 2023

    Diana seems to take a back seat as it's all seen through the Sovereign's point of view. Any appeal for this series is like a car crash- you want to see the outcome with the hopes that some people will survive. Nothing really feels new or interesting, and the characters are already twisting into unrecognizable versions. King hasn't put in the work to get the reader to this point in the story to make it believable. Read Full Review

    ComicBook.com - Nicole Drum Oct 25, 2023

    Daniel Sampere is a master of art here and it might be the finest thing about this book, particularly with how he uses the art to mirror two stories in a way that is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, art alone does not make a story or a comic or a story and we are once again mired in wasted space and wasted time as Tom King drags on two battles that take too long and really offer nothing other than to display Diana's prowess something that literally anyone who has ever heard the name "Wonder Woman" is already well aware of.
