Prestige Format
An all-star 96-page celebration of the Amazon Princess by longtime favorites and acclaimed new voices! In the lead story, Wonder Woman's epic "Year of the Villain" battle comes to a close, leading the way to new challenges ahead. Additionally, this oversized gem tells tales from Diana's past, present and future by some of the greatest storytellers in the business- including Colleen Doran, Mariko Tamaki, the Teen Titans: Raven team of writer Kami Garcia and artist Gabriel Picolo, and legendary Wonder Woman creators returning to the character, including Gail Simone and Greg Rucka!
This is a solid issue. Like a lot of these anniversary anthologies, it's going to be hit and miss. I absolutely loved some stories and didn't care much for others. I think a lot of the art is gorgeous but there is some that didn't work me. The sentiment is ultimately what matters. This is a major milestone and it's full of heart. Read Full Review
This collection of stories and creators is near perfect for the issue. Throw in all the wonderful pin up pages and the alternate covers, and there really is something for everyone. It's not just nostalgia though, this issue showcases just how relevant Diana of Themyscira still is. Hero, Amazon, leader, icon. Read Full Review
Cunningham and Holzherr have done an excellent job of refraining from any kind of overreach here. The 96 pages of anniversary are one hell of a lot of space to fill. A big anniversary like this often tries to overreach and go for a big, nostalgic look at the winding path that led its hero to this issue. Cunningham and Holzherr keep the project from reaching for anything too big to fit between two covers. The editors bring together tales of Dianas virtues in a way that showcase the distinct brand of heroism that has made her so appealing for over three-quarters of a century. Read Full Review
At $9.99 the book is at a high price point. But, in fact, due to the high page count, it actually works out cheaper per page than the standard issue. Coupled with the high quality of pin-ups, this is a sure fire hit for any Wonder Woman fan! Remember though, to keep an open mind as not every story will be aimed at you. Read Full Review
This issue also provides fans with eight variant covers that tracks Wonder Woman's identity over the 80 decades she's been published in with one from the 1940s by Joshua Middleton, the 1950s by Jenny Frison, the 1960s by J. Scott Campbell and Sabine Rich, the 1970s by Olivier Coipel, the 1980s by George Prez and Laura Martin, the 1990s by Brian Bolland, the 2000s by Adam Hughes, and the 2010s by Jim Lee, Scott Williams & Alex Sinclair.Wonder Woman #750stands a love letter to the titular character. Overall, this issue is going to mean a lot to many people and I'm happy to say it's a worthy celebration for our hero. Read Full Review
Almost every creative team shines, and gives Wonder Woman the anniversary gift she deserves! Don't let the price tag scare you - this one's worth every penny. Read Full Review
Scott Snyder and Bryan Hitch round out this issue with a tale of inspiration. With the world on the brink of war, the President and his advisers gather to deliver a speech that will bring the country into the conflict. As he prepares to address the gathered crowd and the nation, Wonder Woman appears to foil a potential assassination plot and inspires a generation of heroes in the process. A great story that highlights how important a character Wonder Woman is and how inspirational she can be. Read Full Review
That's always the best part of anthologies like this: it reintroduces you to the character. It inspires you with the perspective of different writers and artists all sharing what they love about the character, how much their existence has impacted them, and it shows. Even if you haven't been keeping up with Wonder Woman, this is the time to jump back in. It's a roadmap to where we've been and where we're going, and 2020 is looking like a good year for Diana.

For the $10 price tag, the 96-page special delivers for fans while providing great stories and a strong showcase for Wonder Woman. Read Full Review
If the goal of this comic was to celebrate Wonder Woman and give her a new beginning, it does that multiple times over. If you love or have ever loved the character and her stories there definitely will be something for you in these pages. And, for the uninitiated, there are many stories within that exemplify what the character means. This is a book fitting for the Warrior Princess of Themyscira. Read Full Review
DC Comics just does not miss with these giant celebratory anniversary issues. This one again does an excellent job varying its stories in a way that depicts so much of Wonder Womans history and character, while also giving us a tease of what might be coming next. Read Full Review
Overall, this is another strong volume. Some stories are misfits with the volume's tone, but there are more than enough highlights to make this anthology a must-read for any fans of Wonder Woman. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #750 is a celebration for everything Wonder Woman is. Full of fun stories articulating her most prominent characteristics. Any fan of Wonder Woman and its history should be sure to pick up a copy of the book. Read Full Review
It is hard to resist the appeal of any issue numbered with such a momentous number, and Wonder Woman #750 should have had a lot of promise. With that being the case, it doesn't really follow through. Anyone that might have thought that this was a good jumping-on point will likely be confused about where the series is headed. The stories focusing on Diana's character are nice, but nothing that hasn't been touched on before. In all, this issue feels like a letdown, considering what it could have achieved. Read Full Review
Ultimately, Wonder Woman #750 is a beautiful tribute to the character, one that serves to remind the reader of her core values as well as why she's perhaps one of the most popular superheroes in popular culture. She may not be from man's world, but Wonder Woman is at her heart as human as we are. She's the best of us and this book offers us the best of her. Read Full Review
It's a little expensive and the curation caused some issues for me as a reader, but there's a lot of interesting, compelling Wonder Woman here, and the 5G teaser story has me more interested than anything so far. Read Full Review
Other stories include Diana turning the tables on Ares, Diana going to Circe in an attempt to put things right, a tale of Diana of Themyscira before a certain pilot crash landed, Diana through the eyes of the Bombshells, receiving a call to return home, and a melancholy tale of the a remorseful Silver Swan. We also get Diana's presence at the 1939 World's Fair and a story of sisterhood featuring Wonder Woman and the young hero Star Blossom. Read Full Review
I like almost all the stories we get in this issue and besides those, there are a bunch of pinups throughout that look awesome. This is an easy buy for Wonder Woman fans. Read Full Review
A well-executed celebration of the essence of Wonder Woman and all that makes her so great. Read Full Review
Batman has "Year One." Superman has All-Star. But Wonder Woman has never been quite as simple or as straightforward with her characterization - and perhaps it's fitting that her 750th anniversary issue follows suit. Read Full Review
This was very good. Get to know what she really stand for. Art was awesome and story. Must read.
Prelude:
Well, this is going to be a hard issue to review so things will be a bit different this time around.
The Good:
I liked the finale of The Wild Hunt. It's passable in my opinion.
Absolutely loved From Small Things, Mama.
Loved Never Change. Really good highlight of Rucka's Rebirth run.
I liked To Me and it's interesting to show off Bombshells again.
Liked Always. It's nice to see how Wonder Woman differs from the other heroes.
A Brave New World was interesting especially for DC's future.
The Bad:
Didn't like the Interrogation much though it did bring up an interesting point about heroics.
To Leave Paradise was a bit boring.

As is typical with these, I really loved some of the stories, didn’t care for some. Overall, really enjoyed it. And I love when we get pinups!
The continuation of the current Wonder Woman run continues in this story. It's not bad, just that it's been dragging for quite some time now. Other than that, WW #750 had some other amazing stories.
I don't normally follow Wonder Woman's comics, and it's a shame, since her history and legacy belong to the pantheon of comic legends. 750th issue of her series was something I couldn't pass, though, due to its one in a lifetime celebratory nature. It's something special, and like any of its compilation kind, it suffers due to uneven quality of writing and art.
By far, my favourite stories here are Rocka's "Never Change" and Ayala's "Always", simply because they focus so much on humanizing Diana's antagonists, as well as putting the protagonist's compassion and love to the foreground. She's been a Star Sapphire once, just to remind.
These two short stories were great, even if we've seen Cheetah remaining/turning back to Chee more
I am so sad to see that even if WW receives a extra-size, it still the worst one. I am going to review this extra-size 80th Anniversary in two ways. The first is the ongoing story of WW Rebirth, and the second is the rest of the anthology.
The ongoing story with Cheetah and this sword and Diana's patron, I just don't care anymore. After Rucka, no writer besides the Jason arc was even competent enough to make me care about what is even going on with WW and her journey. Its boring. Cheetah has no strong motivation, no nuance, or any nuance that makes sense, WW puts an end to Cheetah's hunt in the most cliche overused WW style, I just don't care. Which is I am dropping this title, which is so infuriating because I want WW to be up more
Quite a mixed bag; some okay stories and artwork and some truly horrible stories and art work. Disappointing for such a big issue (#750).
Not good enough for a commemorative issue. Even worse compare with AC1000 and DC1000.
This was so long, and for what? We got like one good story tops.
I think this anthology is a totem of mediocrity. Most of the stories here fall flat for me. Steve Orlando wraps up the ongoing arc that was incredibly bad, and the quality didn't magically change for this celebration. Then we get a bunch of stories not even worth mentioning. Then we get Vita Ayala's story, which is just a rehash of two previous issues in this run, if I'm remembering correctly. The only story that works here is the final one. The ushering in of the 5G timeline by Scott Snyder. This one captured the character of Wonder Woman best, in my opinion. Overall, this was lame, unfortunately.
