Solid point.
Wonder Woman’s appearance on Mouse Man’s island has led to disastrousconsequences for our hero as she becomes a fugitive on the run. With localstoo afraid to speak, will she ever get the answers she needs to find Etta andEmilie? Can she do it all with a screaming baby strapped to her back?! That’sright, the young daughter of Wonder Woman is along for the adventure!
King is writing a line between absurdism and brutal action drama. There's also a kind of psychological horror about it all. It's such an interesting mix of different somatic elements that are coming to play in the course of this particular set of issues. It seems strange to follow up a villain as powerful as The Sovereign with someone like Mouseman. It IS an interesting progression, though. This particular Mouseman is a tiny man with an inferiority complex that would rival the one possessed by the current occupant of the White House. What happens when a figure like this is given the smallest possible nation to rule over? Its fascinating stuff. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #24 can seem simple at the surface, but once the curtain is peeled back, the nuance and deep societal discussion is as riveting as the action. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #24 provides the context needed to make it a key part of a well-crafted mystery. This is a story that builds tension with every panel, making you feel Diana's frustration and desperation. It takes a seemingly simple premise and transforms it into a captivating exploration of societal nuance and the complexities of motherhood. Read Full Review
Much like the last issue, I was starting to get a bit fed up with the repeated "Mouse Man knows, mice have ears phrase. Thankfully, there's a bit more variation in the panels showing the soldiers communicating with each other. That said, I'm really hoping Tom King wraps up this story in the next issuefor both Wonder Woman's sanity and my own. Otherwise, I'm going to start feeling homicidal every time I see a mouse on TV.

This is definitely the strangest issue of King's run so far, the first that veers away from the more traditional epic storytelling he's been using and into the very esoteric style of writing he uses on his more independent projects. I'm not sure if its narrative is always the clearest, but it creates a sense of tension and unsettling oppression that's hard to match. Read Full Review
I loved seeing the different tones of Wonder Woman, from her dynamic fighting skills, to her patience and ability to treat the young girl with kindness, even when she was lost in translation. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #24 begins to open up Mouse Man's island, bringing the reader in to this unique society. It neatly furthers an intriguing plot through dynamic use of language and lively artwork. With plenty more conflict this month this is certainly a more exciting chapter for "The Island of Mice and Men. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #24 course-corrects after a frustratingly stagnant chapter, delivering action, metaphor, and meaningful plot progression that deepen Diana's mission while hinting at even bigger revelations ahead. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #24 tries to build tension through repetition, but instead of clever or haunting, the "Mousman knows dialogue is way more annoying than thought provoking. The issue is padded, the pacing nonexistent, and after the over-long and utterly disappointing Sovereign story, this book needs a change stat! Wonder Woman deserves to soar, not to play second fiddle to a gimmick that doesn't even work. At this point, the only thing clear is that Mousman, and Tom King, knows how to ruin a comic.

Daniel Tampere definitely has back problems from carrying this story. Tom King's Wonder Woman feels very stilted and wooden to me, and the pacing/story leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, it's not bad. But at least its better than Jeph Loeb's current run on Batman.
Mouseman knows this comic is annoying AF.
TOM KING DOESNT KNOW, TOM KING DOESNT KNOW... HOW TO WRITE A GOOD STORY...
Yet another piece of trash to add to this series run. And you know what, I know Diana is Wonder Woman but there's something ridiculous about her carrying a baby while fighting and getting shot at. I don't even picture her mother doing this kind of nonsense.
I'm done giving thoughtful explanations for this series clearly DC does not take WW seriously.
My God why is Tom King on this for so long...
