THOMPSON & SHERMAN'S RED-HOT REIMAGINING OF WONDER WOMAN UNLEASHES MONSTER MAYHEM! Gateway City has never seen anything like the Harbinger-Prime, the enormous, ravenous monster that has just risen from the depths of the ocean to darken its shores...but the Harbinger has never seen anything like the unstoppable Diana, Princess of the Underworld!
Similar to what Psycamorean mentioned in the previous issue, but what I like about this is Kelly Thompson's character writing. This isn't Wonder Woman talking like she's from the 1800s with Shakespearan thoughts and dialogue that feels stilted wooden and dry. This is Diana Prince talking like a normal person who feels Empathetic, Earnest and Wise. Her chemistry and dialogue with Steve Trevor immediately make me latch on to her, she's gentle and kind. But she is not a pushover, and she will stand her ground if people test her patience.
The art and coloring work SUPER well. I honestly believe that Absolute Wonder Woman is the best one coming out of this Absolute Universe. Which is a relief and makes me happy since Wonder Woman often gets pushed to the side in the main comics in favor of Batman and Superman. I am excited to see how this goes on. Kelly Thompson truly understands who Diana Prince is as a character, considering Wonder Woman (as a character) has been in limbo ever since DCEU ended.

The interaction with her and Steve was sublime. Although Absolute Batman remains my favourite of the three, I am pleased to say this comic has be invested in WW again. I love this comic. Gabe Hernandez with a hit piece giving this a 5. His lunacy never ends.
Yeah, this Gabe Hernandez guy should stop reviewing comics...I don't understand why he holds on to reading a medium he obviously doesn't vibe with anymore, if he ever did...
Money and free stuff. Most of these critics get free issues and payment from the sites they write reviews for. Add onto that, negative reviews get more clicks generating more revenue and as frustrating as it is that it's all we really see from him, it makes sense.
Good points! That does indeed make sense...
The sad part is that social media these days have gotten more toxic and negativity. I can understand not liking a comic compared to others, but at least try not to be nit-picky. Again, I can also understand that this issue compared to Watchmen is technically a "5 out of 10" but that should not be used to critique or give a number score to an issue. It should be based on your interpretation on whether the characters, story, dialogue, art, and action work on its own
