how is this issue unimaginative and boring?

As I mentioned in my review of the debut issue, this series continues to have a Harley Quinn problem. She sucks up so much oxygen throughout every issue that it's difficult to look past her constant presence and enjoy anything else about this book. Without Harley, this could be an habitual 10/10 series because everything else about it has been amazing - the side characters (including any Bird of P more

Birds of Prey #3
By: Kelly Thompson, Leonardo Romero
Released: November 8, 2023
The covert first mission of the re-formed Birds of Prey has established their beachhead...in Themyscira! What could be so important to Black Canary that she'd risk the wrath of the greatest warriors on Earth?!

Annoyed me in Cloonan/Conrad's portion that Batman and Superman got more page time and attention than other Wonder Woman characters like Artemis, Nubia, and Hippolyta. It was bad enough their sons were in King's story but the first part didn't need them.
King's story was clearly prologue territory but I liked what I saw of Trinity/Lizzie. Just hope Superman II and Batman Jr. don't take

Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #3
By: Kelly Sue DeConnick, Nicola Scott
Released: December 28, 2022
The third and final chapter of the critically lauded and Eisner-nominated secret history of the Amazons crescendos with the inevitable-an all-out war against the gods. When Zeus discovers the goddesses defied him by creating the Amazons, seemingly nothing can stop his fervor to eliminate their warriors...not even Hera herself. But the Amazons' numb...

Strong issue. Cloonan and Conrad write a great Hippolyta, definitely makes up for her underuse in their run so far.
Designs for the gods were mixed for me. Hecate was the best but ones from WW: Historia still probably won't be beat for me.

Wow, Rosenberg doesn't get Damian's, Dick's or Bruce's character at all. It's a shame this is so generic, I was looking forward to an in-depth exploration of what Dick's betrayal would cause. What a way to squander their dynamic. Makes me miss the Reborn era even more.

Really enjoyed this issue, nice seeing so many disparate Transformers all in one series. Art was really good.

The resolution of the Altuum plot spilling over from TotA pulls down an otherwise enjoyable issue.
Steve and Siegfried are an absolute delight, Dr. Psycho is creepy af, and Diana has her hands full of problems already.
Thanks to Antiope the Young Diana backup feels more relevant to the present-day story than its past iterations.
