Nothing really groundbreaking honestly. It's better at hooking the reader than AWW since they had much longer to tell their story. The first issue heavily pulls from Frank Miller going far as the news anchors. and it seems Scott is threading his own Court of Owls, or something like that in there. I can't say much more. It's serviceable.

Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman, and co, first issue of AWW is serviceable. It doesn't swing it out of the park and it doesn't try to miss either. We get Diana's backstory, stuff about love, a big fight scene that'll conclude in the second issue. And that lies the problem, this is the first issue of an ongoing book of the Absolute lineup. Go big, go bold. Show the world THIS IS OUR WONDER WOMAN. Absolute Batman got 45 pages, and AWW got 31 pages, if you don't count the advertisement so it's actually less than thirty. So I can see why the creative team didn't go out swing a home run right from the get go. Overall, it was serviceable. I hope the second issue picks up the pace.

I'm not casting my negativity, but it is rather disappointing since Wonder Woman was on the advertisements alongside the World's Finest and is the one of the first three books released for DC's new lineup. Heck, for the longest, I thought the Absolute Universe was mostly Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. more
