THOMPSON & SHERMAN'S RED-HOT REIMAGINING OF WONDER WOMAN UNLEASHES MONSTER MAYHEM! Gateway City has never seen anything like the Harbinger-Prime, the enormous, ravenous monster that has just risen from the depths of the ocean to darken its shores...but the Harbinger has never seen anything like the unstoppable Diana, Princess of the Underworld!

Similar to what Psycamorean mentioned in the previous issue, but what I like about this is Kelly Thompson's character writing. This isn't Wonder Woman talking like she's from the 1800s with Shakespearan thoughts and dialogue that feels stilted wooden and dry. This is Diana Prince talking like a normal person who feels Empathetic, Earnest and Wise. Her chemistry and dialogue with Steve Trevor immed more

The sad part is that social media these days have gotten more toxic and negativity. I can understand not liking a comic compared to others, but at least try not to be nit-picky. Again, I can also understand that this issue compared to Watchmen is technically a "5 out of 10" but that should not be used to critique or give a number score to an issue. It should be based on your interpretation on whether the characters, story, dialogue, art, and action work on its own

I really love what DC are doing with these black label stories as they are fun , intelligent and get to breath enough to really develop the characters and the story without needing a 1000 different comics to read it first. Great start and wonderful colours and art.

I don't care, that ending alone makes this a 10.
The problem with dystopian future stories is that they are so frequent and so often falling into the same tropes. To be clear, these are tropes for a reason. The threat of authoritarianism and fascism has been rolling around in the minds of people for decades and decades, and especially in today's climate. I can only begrudge the tropes s more
