The result is a rich story that shakes the very idea of Wonder Woman to the core and leaves the reader feeling like they've been punched through the heart"just as Wonder Woman feels in its final pages. Read Full Review
Daniel Warren Johnson is an auteur of the highest caliber. He is still very young, but man, is he putting out some amazing work. The writing and the art are brilliant. This will end up being a classic Wonder Woman story. Read Full Review
To my mind, this title exemplifies the raison d'tre of DC's Black Label line perfectly. Told by a master craftsman, this story takes a beloved character out of her usual milieu, subtly reworks her origin and puts her in a gripping narrative that forces the reader – and the character, for that matter – to examine afresh what makes that character work so well. This issue does that magnificently. I can't recommend it highly enough. Read Full Review
There's a lot of heavy lifting to be done in the rest of this series, but thankfully he has two issues left to bring all he's set up to a satisfying close. Read Full Review
Already standing far higher than its predecessor, dystopias never looked as good as they do in Wonder Woman: Dead Earth. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #2 is a must-read for any Wonder Woman fan, as well as fans of sword and sorcery books, as well as fans of emotionally engaging tales. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman Dead Earth #2 overall is an impressive second of four entries in the Black Label miniseries. Daniel Warren Johnson presents a compelling, tragic, and energetic story. While Johnson's art style doesn't quite fit the tone of the story, he excels at action and atmosphere, aided by strong colors by Mike Spicer. Dead Earth #2 offers a good read on its own and a strong lead-in to the series' upcoming penultimate issue in April. Read Full Review
damn just damn
This was CRAZY. great. love it.
Holy ****!!!!
Easily the best Wonder Woman Series out right now. By far.
Issue 1 was great. Issue 2 was near perfect. Tons of action, with art and colors to brush the pages, The layout and paneling really effectively using the format DCBL provides.
DWJ also writes an tremendously well paced story, brisking through the exposition by popping of some major revelations that alter the story drastically. It shakes the very foundation WW has been built upon. DWJ really handles the character of WW really well. Also, badass cover. Best issue so far.
Wow, this issue is some next-level stuff, I'm really glad I decided to stick with this series. Diana is so flushed out and three-dimensional. It also makes sense to me that gods would blame all of humanity for something previous generations perpetrated, as much as I hate them for it.
The issue starts a bit slow but the second half picks up the pace. Wow what a spectacular twist. The art is ridiculously beautiful and the story is amazing. Highly recommend
A step-up from the first issue, in my opinion. The story just worked a bit better here for me and I thought it had better pacing. That could be attributed to the fact that Johnson had to set everything up in Issue #1, but that's just my own thought. I will say, though, that as much as I love Johnson's art, I wasn't a huge fan of Diana looking cross-eyed at least once or twice in this book.
Better than issue one, surely. I like the designs here, even if the art leaves a bit to be desired.
Diana lacks a lot of characterization in this series. That ending seemed so out of character
“Oh yeah, nuclear weapons obviously won’t kill us. But like a car? Just a normal one? For sure if you blow up a car that’ll do it.”
