Wonder Woman receives a distress call from Artemis...on Warworld!
Stripped of any distracting subplots, the dynamic between Diana and Artemis is gracefully given the center of the panel in a briskly-paced opening chapter of a whole new story set in the only arena big enough to hold the two warriors. Shea, Redondo, and Lucas frame the action almost perfectly as the chapter shifts swiftly from introduction to the establishment and initial resolution of conflict. Once again, Sensational Wonder Woman proves to be a great deal of fun as it nears the end of its first month. Read Full Review
While underwhelmed by the first two issues of the series, the start of this new story definitely hit all the right spots for me and delivered a lot of fun. Shea obviously knows Wonder Woman well and has a strong handle on how she deals with things here and the history of the Amazons. At the same time, Redondo has done a lot of Wonder Woman work over the years, especially in some of the non-mainstream books for her, and it pays off incredibly well here as just the sequence of her sitting in the ship near the start is fantastic. Solid action, a good setup, and it leaves you wondering if there's a twist or Artemis is just this bad of a person. Read Full Review
A much better story than the first already. This prelude combines action and showcases the complicated and often uneasy relationship between the Amazon tribes. Redondo shines on art, and while some might not take too kindly to how the Bana-Migdall and Artemis are characterized, I will reserve judgement on that until next week when the story continues. There seems to be going on more here.
