Just in time for Wonder Woman’s 80th anniversary, DC Comics proudly presents a new anthology series starring the Amazon Princess embellished in the the color of her famous lasso. You won’t want to miss this thrilling series celebrating the woman who inspires us all…and that’s the truth! Kicking things off, John Arcudi (B.P.R.D.) and Ryan Sook (Legion of Super-Heroes) reunite to show us the grace immortality grants a hero. Becky Cloonan (Wonder Woman) weaves a spine-tingling tale of Diana’s most precious weap more
This playground has been great for both Batman and Superman, and seems like it will do wonders (pun intended) for this Amazonian Princess. I appreciate that DC is providing more insight into these characters for authors and artists alike. Read Full Review
A new anthology series is always welcome. Much can be made to work in a short-subject format that can be quite a bit more provocative than a single, long-running serial plot. There are 39 pages of content in the issue. DC can feel free to fill that space with stories that could be of any length...thus allowing the plots to dictate how long each feature needs to be. Its a refreshing format. Given a bit more interaction between the reduced color palette and the stories, this will be a real pleasure to follow in Wonder Womans 80th anniversary year.

Overall, an offbeat collection of stories, but with some real gems in here as we get off to a very good start. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman: Black and Gold Vol 1 is entertaining and made me remember how much I like Wonder Woman, just in shorter narrative spurts. We have seen a lot of stories, but it works better if she is always not necessarily the center of the story. Considering that she is a god that is maybe where she works best. But while it does go far to address some of those gaps, then the What Does not Kill You, story it doesn't do enough to restore her to her former glory. Read Full Review
Each of these stories in this anthology focusing on Diana of Themyscara is able to offer a fresh and endearing look at the DC character Wonder Woman. Read Full Review
When taken all together, Wonder Woman: Black and Gold #1 starts this series off with a strong series of stories that both inform the reader of some of the more subtle aspects of Dianas character, while looking good doing it. If this is the standard of work readers can expect going forward then there is plenty to look forward to from here. Read Full Review
Black and gold make for a striking pairing and should continue to lead to some intriguing stories from talented creators. As always, the hope is the majority of the anthology stories are strong enough to warrant picking up each installment. This one is split down the middle, but its good to see Wonder Woman fans getting another title to grab on a monthly basis. Read Full Review
"Mother's Daughter - Very sitcom-y. I can't say I cared for it that much.
"What Doesn't Kill You" - Didn't on the whole care for the art but some interesting callbacks to earlier WW stories.
"I'm Ageless" - Pretty good story, art was probably of the best of the bunch in this issue.
"The Golden Age" - Along with "The Ageless" probably among my favorites of the bunch. Fun Etta Candy moments near the end and felt like what maybe a Batman '66 version of Wonder Woman would be
"The Wager" - Liked Cloonan's art and parts of this though I'm not sure I care for this an origin story for the lasso. Though I guess it's fitting the last story of the first issue revolves around it.
This trend of limited color stories continues. Some are fun in this issue, some are kind of bland.
It was alright, the final story was pretty good imo
Quite boring.
