I absolutely adore stories that test our greatest heroes' limits. I love seeing characters that we believe are "perfect" find their gray areas. Wonder Woman: Evolution is no exception to that! This is the next great Wonder Woman story - you do NOT want to miss out on it! Be sure to pick it up at your LCS TODAY! Read Full Review

Hawthorne delivers some great art in the issue. The story is very character oriented and the art does a great job of showcasing character emotion. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman: Evolution #1 is a slow, but solid start to a story tailored around the principles the Amazing Amazon stands for. The general concept is definitely a hell of a hook for a Wonder Woman story, and I hope future issues make the most of it. Read Full Review

The first of eight issues establishes the theme and hauls its title character off into the conflict, which will dominate the remainder of the series. Phillips is establishing a very thoughtful series that has great potential to be a bit heavier than the average superhero series. Lofty themes that seem to be hinting themselves into existence in this issue do run the risk of failing a bit bigger than a series of more limited scope. Still, it will be interesting to see where Phillips and company take the story throughout the first half of 2022.  Read Full Review

Because this issue is largely a setup issue, I'm hesitant to comment too deeply on Stephanie Phillips' writing. But while Mike Hawthorne is a critically-acclaimed artist, I found his art style for Diana to be too rough, too jagged, and not nearly as wonderful as the superheroine is meant to be. Hawthorne's art worked with the rest of the story, but Wonder Woman is the titular hero so I cannot recommend this story to longtime Wonder Woman fans. I do have a feeling this story, like Brian Azzarello's and Cliff Chiang's, could be popular outside of the Wonder Woman fandom and hopefully bring in new fans. Read Full Review

Between being almost entirely prologue to extremely strange artwork on the protagonist, "Wonder Woman: Evolution" #1 is sadly a story that can be easily missed. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman: Evolution #1 sees Diana put to the test when she's chosen as a representative in a cosmic trial for the fate of humanity. But while that's an engaging premise, in the execution what we get for this first issue is a lot less dynamic and a bit slower to unfold and while setting the stage for the larger story to come is critical in a first issue, so is setting the expectation, which this issue sets at a fairly low bar.

Never read much by Philips but this was surprisingly decent start, though mostly a prologue.

Art is very harsh, not the kind you'd expect on a Wonder Woman book. Mostly works for characters like the Silver Swan who shows up but Diana herself does look off to me.

Decent intro issue. Interested to see where this goes.

Not a ton to it thus far, but i love the way Mike Hawthorne draws Diana and the dialogue from the boy in blue was good too.

I'll pick up the next issue

Pretty good for a first issue, though Hawthorne's art is pretty ugly. But the premise of the story is worth it. Much, much better than the shit Conrad and Cloonan come up with in the main book.

I like Stephanie Phillips so I was excited to read this series, and... it's pretty good. It's not quite as good as I thought it would be, and I'm very put off by the style Mike Hawthorne is using. From what I can remember from his other work, this is not just how he draws, this is stylized.

The story’s alright, mostly just set-up, but Hawthorne’s art is lacklustre and drags it down.

Art is mostly awful.
Story is very meh and decompressed

Horrific artwork.
