I thought this was a good start. The character still acts like the character of old, with an unwavering sense of justice. However, the world is darker and more intense. I like the direction. Let's see where it goes.

This issue took a downturn for me. It's starting to feel derivative and drawn out. We have another scene with furries and another scene with an escape. The last panel was a surprise, but other than that, the issue was pretty boring. I hope this picks up for the end.

I was not a fan of the art in this issue and I think the design for the creature was not upheld. We also didn't get story progression here for the most part. We needed more in this issue than what we received. I hope there's more in the next issue. For love of the IP and after meeting Julia Adams before her passing, I will stick with it.

The dilogue is a little off in this issue as the guards call Red Sonja "Honey," which is not period along with some other examples. However, I did enjoy the interaction between her and Gath. I was wondering why Gath didn't outright kill her, and we did get that answered. Apparently, there is more to Grace than we first thought. A little dip in quality here, but I'm still on board.

This run got progressively worse as it went on. It started out well and then slid down to this rather disappointing and non-climatic ending. How stupid this villain is to wear the one weapon that could slay her on her back. Come on. We saw this ending coming from a mile away. Everything was just so convenient. It's just bad.

I still dislike the costume of the masked female that gets captured. The blue and purple don't work together and the mask is uninspired. I like that Black Widow has to take center stage because the guys need time to heal. The art progression does this well. The fight scene with Widow wielding the shield is cool as well. I like these three characters together.

Though this issue has plenty of action, there isn't a whole lot of story. Every page is a splash page. This could have been told in 10 pages rather than 20, so it's a bit of cop-out by Duggan. I'm looking forward to seeing this unfold, I just hope there are a few more layers to the story.

Though we've completely forgotten about the previous storyline, I do like the team-up with Kull and the new adventure into Atlantis. I was on the journey with them, which is a tip of the hat to Jim Zub. The artwork continues to be good and reminiscent. Looking forward to the next issue.

I don't know what happened with this issue. The usual artist took a break so Hickman decided to dial it in, instead of progressing the story. Nothing happens in this issue except for one, elongated exposition-heavy scene. Not even one page of action in the entire issue. This issue can be summed up in 3 words -- Double Dinner Date. And Harry introduces his own wife as "Gwen Stacy." Who does that? Most people would simply use their wife's first name. A very disappointing issue. This one can be skipped and you wouldn't notice.

I can't believe this is the same Joshua Williamson who writes for the Energon Universe. I don't think he clicks as well with this character as he does with Duke. First of all, I thought that Ollie had a passcode to get into the bunker given to him by Waller. Yet, the entire team outside was able to get in just in the nick of time. Why would the mask want to deal with Ollie's issues with the Justice League by having them kill him? Even the Danger Room has safety protocols. Then he literally teleports to Merlyn where this weird ending happens. It's all over the place.

Another good issue. I can't believe this is the same Joshua Williamson who works for DC Comics, but sometimes characters click with writers on another level. Duke turns on the action and the charm as we finish his solo story. The fight with BAT is good, his stand-off with Destro, and finally his motivation for taking on the formation of GI Joe. Good stuff.

This series continues to get worse and worse. It's quite apparent that Ennis does not understand the character. The premise with the Stalvod weapon is decent, but the execution is horrible. We had him go to space in the last issue, without any training on how to be an astronaut, he just shows up on the shuttle and starts questioning people, does a spacewalk, and puts a snake in a space suit. Whatever. Now, he and M concoct a plan to question the agents following them only to get a video from Felix. They find a Stalvod canister in the Ukraine that kills their soldiers, and the US is going to respond with drone strikes on Russia. What? That makes no sense whatsoever.

If this goes beyond six issues, I'm dropping it.

The art continues to be good. Obviously, I read a different book from the rest of the critics since many of them gave it 10s. I am on the completely opposite end of the spectrum. I think what Tom King is doing with this character is appalling. This is not Wonder Woman. He doesn't even bother telling us how she was captured. In previous issues, she fought off the entire US military, now a 90-year-old asshole was able to capture and cut her just so he can make a point about trad wife--bad and down with the patriarchy. Steve adores her and even in a fantasy world, she would know that he would never treat her like this. She would fight against that narrative and respond with love. That's the character, which goes against everything Tom King is trying to say. If he's still on this book after twelve, I'm out.

Wonder Woman character was created and introduced in All-Star Comics as a character to raise up and unite American people. Now we have CIA's Tom King using the DC Comics issue almost as a parody level of absurdity of targeted hate based on race, gender, and religion. If the roles were different, the DC Comics published tract would be labeled as a "hate crime" piece. But as it is, CIA Tom King's effort to divide and demean is now good "comics fiction."

Wonder Woman is a prisoner of the criminal Sovereign who seeks to brainwash Diana with a "Lasso of Lies," while Wonder Woman hallucinates including a scenes where her daughter uses a bow and arrow to mutilate (and possibly murder?) criminal Sergeant Steel tied to a tree. The comic goes through various out-of-context writing from the Christian Bible, based on a Jewish writer Saul/Paul and his religious teachings based on the Torah (yes, Tom King leaves **THAT** part out for certain), and eventually after I concluding "I do not believe in Your God," Wonder Woman breaks the Lasso of Lies and attacks the criminal Sovereign.

The story begins with Wonder Woman hallucinating about the 1950s era with a sexist, hate-filled version of Steve Trevor, and the criminal Sovereign using a "Lasso of Lies" and quoting Christian religious scripture of Ephesians 5:22 from 2000 years ago, twisting it out of context to make it be a basis for inequality, rather than a basis for love. Furthermore, using a translation that does not match the original text in Greek. And since Tom King wants to use this as a religious attack, the correct statement is: "Submit to one another," NOT "Wives, submit to your husbands."

Tom King also takes out of context Christian Bible passages from Corinthians (based on Paul/Saul's Jewish history and his interpretations of the Jewish Torah), Timothy (again based on Paul/Saul's Jewish history and his interpretations of the Jewish Torah), Titus (once again based on Paul/Saul's Jewish history and his interpretations of the Jewish Torah).

Now if this was Saul, and they were quotations from the Jewish Torah? How would this be viewed in USA today? Would it be considered Anti-Semitic twisting of religious verse to spread anti-Jewish hatred? But since it is Paul who converted to being a "Christian," Tom King views this as "OK."

But the goal here is for Tom King to divide between men and women, religious Christians and others, young and old, and target a certain group as inherently evil. Mr. King fails to note that he actually fits a lot of the element of the inherently evil hate he spews towards others.

No I am not going to rate this comic based on the "backup comic." That would be cowardly and lame dodging. Let's be clear about what this issue of Wonder Woman #8 is: "Hate Crime Tract." It is the same type of thing you would read from racists, those who hate people based on their gender, and those who hate people based on their religion. In fact, it is PRECISELY the type of thing that the Wonder Woman character was created to combat. But now, with the CIA's Tom King, DC Comics has turned Wonder Woman into the very thing she was to defeat: Hate Itself.


I only give this a 1 because there is not any lower score available. It does NOT deserve a 1.

To those of you who think, OK, but I hate old people, I hate white people, I hate men, I hate Christian people, etc., remember - other Hate Mongerers can fill in those labels with different lables. Hate is NOT the Answer and it has no place being praised in comics heroine stories. more

A decent continuation to this event. Not sure why superman needs a suit to go into space and why Supercorpo would have spacebikes just laying around. Also, it doesn't make any sense that the bikes would be small enough to get past the United Planets when a single Green Lantern couldn't. This needed a little more thought put into it. I like that Brainiac is sick. I think that adds a layer to the story. Let's see where this goes.

This is a good start to the event, though I won't be collecting the side spin-off titles. Brainiac is always a good villain. I like how it starts as a normal day and then all hell breaks loose. He even infiltrated Super Corp. who knows how long ago. Let's hope it keeps up at this level.

This was an interesting conclusion. It was always gnawing at the back of my skull that Nova had not met the chimps until after Taylor arrived. At least now that is all reset. I'm not sure why Nova didn't stay with them and instead return to a human hunting ground, but everything else I liked. Not sure about incarcarating the apes where I guess the gibbons will take care of them. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Besides the obvious plot holes, I enjoyed the return to the original Planet of the Apes.

This was a slow issues starting with a meaningless fight between Okye and Shiri, then a long descent into the underground artifact dwelling for a reveal that was a huge glowing ball. What makes this different from Spider-man is the set up. The story behind it, is that the Maker made it so there were no superheroes, the heroes themselves and those around him remained the same, but there they didn't get their powers. I guess that didn't include mutants. So, why does Storm have rastafar hair and not her regular hair. So, this is inconstant and using that same plotpoint, why does the Black Panther exist? This should have been a story about T'Challa finding the Black Panther mythos and claiming it instead of it being handed to him. I hope this gets better.

Whoever decided to do character spinoffs of these characters should get a raise. This was a really good idea in the vein of the Marvel universe leading up to the Avengers. This one is, of course, leading into Destro. This is the shift in Cobra Commander's character and turning his back on Cobra-LA. Looking forward to seeing how Williamson wraps this up.

I'm really enjoying this story. I'm actually kind of glad that he completely forgot about the death of the Flash storyline, as Tom Taylor does. This one is far more interesting. We have seen Raven go dark before, so this is nothing new, but the execution has been good so far. I also like Trigon pitting sibling against sibling. Though I do think the name Trilogy has absolution not imagination put into it.

Another confusing issue. The scenes move back and forth so quickly that it is impossible to keep track of one story or the other. I definitely would not have structured it this way. Then they finished it without completing the story. Not sure what's up with that. I guess everyone was dropping it so they decided to cancel the title. I'm not sure. The only thing that I enjoyed was the Stormtroopers not being buffoons and actually working as a team. I would have dropped it as well.

I think I'm on board with everyone else. The story is going nowhere and Earls on art is not good for this book. Even the cliffhanger feels more like a Constantine book than a Hulk book I'm hoping he can turn it around.

https://youtu.be/kXKCSq3o1V0

It was weird to have half of this issue be an existential crisis that takes place in his head and the other half moves the story along. I do like it so far, but it has its peaks and valleys. I love the idea of the sentinels using Stark Tech and I like Tony and Emma together. It's different.

https://youtu.be/kXKCSq3o1V0

This has gotten very convoluted. I expected it to end this issue. Now it's feeling like it's being drawn out. The world is interesting, but let's stay in one rather than the other. The characters switching back and forth is jarring. Let's have them remain in their fantasy versions as that's the selling point of the book. I'm going to get the next one, but if it doesn't course correct then I'm probably going to drop it.

I really liked this issue. I thought the pace was great. Not knowing what side Flatline was on and Batman having his own adventure that ends in a mystery. Good stuff. It's amazing how hit-and-miss Joshua Williamson is.

This is very imaginative. I like the imp world and seeing Mr. M team up with Bat-Mite. The issue is very fun and the art by Mora is always great. I love the depiction of Parasite and the last panel is funny as hell. I recommend this issue

I think this team-up really works. The beginning with them hunting for the elements for the cure to the Joker serum, and Dylan being a fish out of water, to him then being in his element when he works with Constantine. Etrigan is a great addition and I like that the writer didn't feel the need for Batman to be in the final mission. Constantine and Dylan together was great.
