This comic should serve as a study model to many other Future State writers. Ladies and gentlemen, Joelle Jones did it - she created a perfect short story with a perfect clear idea behind, not merely using the very limited constraints of the event, but genuinely turning them to her own advantage. Without spoiling much, there's commentary on stories told by humans, and how Yara's journey wasn't even written yet, which serves both literal and metaphorical purpose. Jones winks to us, readers, without breaking the 4th wall directly.

Do I have any complaints? Well, the action progresses rapidly, which doesn't give us time to breathe in between jokes. Obvious reason is the sheer fact it's just a 2 issue micro series, so of course the story had to be told quickly. And truth be told, I don't mind it here, but I also wouldn't like to see such comedic intensity in regular long running series (which I certainly hope we get, and it's going to be as close to this short as possible).

Overall Wonder Woman is without a doubt one of the leading stars of Future State, its brightest highlights. Pick it up, it's great. more

This issue surpassed all my expectations. I really enjoyed Ove's origin story and felt that it was quite compelling. Ove shares many of the qualities readers enjoy about Namor, while also possessing his own unique personality traits. Take that and mix it in with some enchantress and you've got an interesting new villain! The artwork was solid and added to the emotion and weight of the story. This was arguably my favorite issue of Thompson's entire run (issue #8 was also amazing) and I look forward to more. 10/10 more

There is no reason for this to be so good. But it is. One of the best tie-ins this event has.

Now this comic is just dreadful, by far one of the worst titles Future State has to offer so far, and let me remind you the bar isn't very high to begin with. What a boring, nonsensical and pitiful attempt to pass the Superman mantle to Jon. It would be funny if it wasn't s sad, because after what Brian Michael Bendis did to Supes, I thought it'd be hard for DC to keep things comparably bad. And yet here we are.

Neither of the three stories featured in this book felt passable to me. They're the epitomes of futility. They exist, but why exactly, that I don't know. They tell stories, but I don't know what they want to tell exactly, if at all.
Bottomline, they seem to exist to waste resources, since other than that they accomplish nothing. more

More mediocrity from Cates on this title as of lately.

Filler. Inconsistent artwork on the Venom Beyond story arc. Cates took interesting characters like Codex and Virus and just made them completely useless. The "emotional breakthrough" to solve the conflict within this arc felt cheap and silly. I was very hyped for King in Black, I still am, but not as much as before. This arc started out so well, but ended as a mess. Hopefully King in Black is a step up. 6/10 more

Both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. It’s hard to believe that it was written by the same Scott Snyder who wrote The Court of Owls.

Better than the last issues.

I think that the problem with DC is that their Universe was never like Marvel. There is a lot of stuff and characters that changed too drastically over the years and it´s just impossible to imply that everything can be canon, because there would be a lot of nonsense.

Pretending all this characters are the same they were from before flashpoint (like they imply on Doomsday Clock) is nonsense. more

The artwork as always was fantastic, however I felt there were certain issues with the story. Snyder retains his bloated exposition-heavy writing, and the resolution within the story felt unearned and sudden (Superboy Prime). Still a fun and silly read.
