There are only two issues left to go in what has been a thoroughly satisfying anthology series showcasing a wide range of different perspectives on one of the most enduring characters in pop fiction. More celebration is on its way as the year draws to a close, with several one-shots that will be arriving in the months to come. Read Full Review

Overall, like any anthology, we're given a mixed bag of results in issue #4 of Wonder Woman: Black and Gold. However, while some anthologies leave a bad taste in the mouth, Black and Gold #4 is a pleasant read even if most of the stories aren't great. No matter the quality, these shorts have a good heart and there's a lot of love for the character on display that will please hardcore fans and win over Diana dilettantes like me. Read Full Review
"Prayer" - Worth the price for Scott's art.
"Amazing" - Decent, though I felt we already had a "child looks up to Diana" story like this in the previous one.
"Whatever Happened to Cathy Perkins?" -Surprisingly decent send up of the Mod era.
"Love Failed" - Very weird, art takes some getting used to but I enjoy the use of Hypnota in this story.
"Wing Woman" - Decent and fun enough, though you see this kind of plot for a lot of superheroes who date back to the Golden Age.
Highlighting this issue in the anthology is Wonder Woman's compassion when facing hard truths. A bit of love towards a griffin who tragically died after a long journey and comforting a friend trying to keep herself in nostalgia to ward off her death. Plus just a little fun when she calls a girl Batman like she somehow knew that's who she's playing as. Not a great issue but it highlights that Diana's not the judgmental type.
This is slightly better than the 80th anniversary issue. I don't want to just repeat what I said there, but it invariably comes down to that same sentiment all the same. The best story is the first one. There are a few fine ones in there. Just... not worth the money.
