Doom has concepts of a plan
This comic had the strongest and most interesting concept of any of the From The Ashes titles, which has made it all the more frustrating that it's been more miss than hit in execution. I'd complain about the next-to-last issue being spent trying to simultaneously set up a finale and satisfy the demands a crossover, but it inspires some of the stronger work this team has delivered — particularlymore

North perfectly understands and encapsulates the subtle dread that persists throughout our real day to day life while still inpiring hope through the optimism of the Ever Loving Blue Eyed Thing, and the intelligence of the Sensational She-Hulk. North has quickly become one of my favorite comic book writers through this masterful Fantastic Four run.

This is a time when it feels like practically everyone feels helpless and hopeless beneath the wealthy elites whose boot is forever on our necks, and ever-increasing numbers of desperate people are looking at this as broken world as one that can only be cleansed with blood. The idea of a newly-arrived Superman (who can fairly be assumed to be as non-lethal as any other version) being seen as the smore

Rated T+
No insight, no feeling, no meaning, no formal experimentation, not even a plot to speak of: this is the worst of Ellis, all purpose flayed from the bone, stripped right down to the masturbatory cruelty that festers at the core of even his best works. Absolutely the most empty thing I've ever read.
I've traditionally been politely averse to earnest Silver Age nostalgia comics even when they're written by innovative British writers whose name can be shortened to "Al", but I can't say no to ironic metacommentary on "reactionary nostalgia" and a good Skiffle joke so fiiiiine, I'll admit that this was good
Who could win the heart of the most fabulous freak of all? Only one more fabulous still...the switched-on Sapphire Stagg! But when Metamorpho and Element Gal join superstar Sapphire in the spotlight, they find themselves in the gunsights of a deadly rival for her cultural crown--one mendaciously managed by the maliciously malevolent...Mad Mod! But ...
I unironically want nothing more from a superhero comic than a creative team with the fearless self-assurance to write something formally and emotionally breathtaking like the Circe flashback and then follow it with over-the-top surreal superhero bullshit like the giant sword, and to make it truly work. This is everything I love about superhero comics
DIANA MAKES THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE! The Tetracide is "The Four Killer"...and Diana has done the unthinkable to escape its fatal grasp.

Great review, I definitely agree. I'm going to feature your review on my podcast Lunchbreak reviews about this issue. Reach out if you want to be on the show!
This is my favorite version of Wonder Woman..... of all time. This is everything I want from a Wonder Woman comic and character. Absolutely breath-taking
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
Awesome issue from this series, once again. Everything I've praised the last two issues for is what I would praise for this one. Thompson and Sherman are really crafting up great stuff with this one (Spoiler art coming next, just in case you're looking at reviews without having read the issue yourself yet). Diana cutting off her right arm for Steve was insane, and I'm looking forward to seeing mormore
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
I'm simply stunned by how good this is. Every issue gets better and better, so I'm saving the perfect rating but it's coming, no doubt. By far the best of the Absolute titles !
Wonder Woman as a sorceress is just a hell of an awesome idea and Hayden Sherman is killing it !
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
This is as perfect a Wonder Woman rendition as I have seen since Kelly Sue’s Historia in that it captures the essence of what a Wonder Woman is. Thompson and Hayden show us just how effortlessly Diana befits the title of Wonder Woman. Art is phenomenal and the work speaks for it self. Just an absolute breath of fresh air.
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
Simply breathtaking. The story and character work on display here trumps the previous 2 issues, and is a grandly successful swing for the fences. One of the year’s best titles. Kudos to the entire team that put this story together. It’s the very essence of what an “absolute” title should be.
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
Words cannot describe how incredible this book is.
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
I have read a gratuitous number of Wonder Woman comics and this was easily one of the greatest single issues I've ever read, thrilling and unpredictable and formally ambitious. Thompson & Sherman are both doing just unbelievable work here
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
