Well, Daniel Sampere continues to deliver great art on Wonder Woman. This issue feels a little stronger than most of this run, Diana feels like she’s featured more than most issues. However, that’s not saying much. It’s a classic case of “too little, too late” to improve the overall assessment of Tom King’s run on the character. Too much of the issue relies on buying into Tom King more

Good review. And is it just me who thinks basically nothing happens. Diana starts at the gates of the White House and ends with her at the front door. King did the same thing in his Batman run, have Bats at Arkham’s walls ends with him at the door. Or I could be wrong.

mego-joe - Feb 20, 2025

Diana hasn’t done much at all in this whole run. She actually does more in this issue than the entire run. Normally she just waits…. In this issue she actually took the fight to Sovereign. But, she’s done nothing to find Emilie. Was she mind controlled or seeking revenge? King’s totally dropped that story element.

Daniel Sampere must be developing scoliosis because he is carrying this run hard on his back, even more so than Jorge Jiminez on Zdarsky and Tynion IV runs on Batman. I think the reason why this series hasn't grabbed my attention on the same level as Absolute Wonder Woman is that the way the dialogue is written feels very formal and old-fashioned. The blue thought boxes are clearly someone telling more
