    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Jul 20, 2025

    Having rendered a sark political drama for the foundation of Wonder Womans conflict with The Sovereign, King develops some grounding for a very sophisticated dark satire with an island of people who worship a marginal villain from the Silver Age. There is a history of silly Silver Age stuff being given a hard edge, but rarely has it been attempted in this sort of fashion with deep drama that attempts something quite unlike anything that had been tried in comic book format on any serious level in recent memory. Pages and pages and pages of this issue pay out with only two sentences and theyre some of the heaviest, most haunting pages on the comic book rack this month.  Quite an accomplishment.

But to see them working together in this way, leaning so heavily on art over dialogue is yet another example of how Wonder Woman has become more experimental, freeing itself from comic book convention.

    AIPT - David Brooke Jul 16, 2025

    Tom King and Daniel Sampere take a big swing with Wonder Woman #23, delivering a visually driven and conceptually unsettling chapter that highlights the unique strengths of comic storytelling. While the issue offers powerful moments and rich atmosphere, its slow pacing and prolonged gimmick may leave some readers eager for more movement in the plot. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Jul 19, 2025

    This issue tries for a bit that just didn't work for me at all. I still have faith that it will all make sense by the end, but this issue needed something to help the reader find their footing, some glimmer of explanation. Read Full Review
