A lot of fun is to be had when Wonder Woman and Batman team up for a murder mystery on Mount Olympus. Just the idea is super fun on its own! Thankfully, the comic matches the potential. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #20 is a sharp tonal shift that feels refreshing. It merges mythological stakes with a detective structure while spotlighting a compelling Diana-Bruce dynamic. Tom King's precision storytelling and Guillem March's structured visuals make this issue a strong, cerebral breather with plenty of intrigue to come. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman returns strong with the first chapter of a brand new arc. Blending Dark Knight detective story with Greek mythology makes for a tonal shift in King's story. But it's a shift which is an electric page turner. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #20 is basically a jumping on point. The first phase of the Sovereign story is over, and this newest tale is a nice little pause. Wonder Woman is getting a lot of attention, so throwing in a quick little mystery story is the perfect way to give new readers a taste of what the book is like. This issue definitely isn't going to convince anyone who doesn't like King's run that it's gotten better, but it's still a rather entertaining issue with some cool moments. March's use of the nine panel grid is outstanding. It gives the story beats the right kind of rhythm, and pulls the reader along. March seriously makes this story read like a million bucks. Art is always important to a comic, but this would have been an entirely different story without March's work; it would have still been good, but it never would have been this good. Read Full Review

Guillem March's art was nice, I never thought this style would be nice to look at in 9-grid panel format. But hey, when it works, it works. This is a break from The Sovereign story, but let's not get too comfortable, all roads lead back to that dreaded story... The decision by King of bringing Batman to Olympus to investigate a crime, will get the same hate as Waid's decision to bring Batman AND Superman to Themyscira to solve a crime there. Diana doesn't know any other detectives? Rhetorical question, she absolutely does. Maybe is King who doesn't know any other hero/cop lmaoooooooooooo

I am going to try to not compare Main Wonder Woman to Absolute Wonder Woman, since that is a really weird way to say which book is better or I prefer. I like to judge each book by its own merits, and not bring another book down.

For me, Tom King's Wonder Woman feels very stiff. very awkward, very stale and formal. The dialogue is short and concise, and I understand that Wonder Woman is a greek demigod. But she lived here on Earth for a long time, so it's strange to have Wonder Woman speak this inhuman or out of touch shakespearan dialogue.

And a vocal minority are very conflicted and dont like Tom King's voice for Batman. I am one of those people. I feel that Tom King doesn't really get Batman, and he often writes Batman out of character and acting very strangely in this story. The line about God in church with Batman and Wonder Woman doesn't hit hard because the writing for these characters are so strange and bizzare.

Overall, it's not terrible, and it's a nice break from the previous villain. But it feels that this Series doesn't feel natural to me. Or I could be wrong more

There’s a huge shift of gears with this issue moving past the Sovereign storyline. It doesn’t mean it’s any better, just different. Batman feels way out of place. Diana seems far too vengeful and quite detached in an odd sort of way. Guillem March depicts her almost as a femme fatale as she appropriates Batman for this mission to find out who killed Ares and clear Hippolyta’s name. In some ways it feels like it exists in its own universe more so than the previous 19 issues did, and boy did they ever! Tom King creates a strange moment in which he attempts to give Bruce and Diana a more personal connection, but it just ends up being awkward. Elements of the actual investigation are solid, but it all feels like something manufactured around that dagger we saw last issue, which also happens to be the murder weapon here. more

The idea of Wonder Woman and Batman teaming up isn't inherently a bad idea. Hell, Liam Sharp wrote and drew a crossover between the two that I thought was pretty good. But the execution here leaves a lot to be desired. Wonder Woman seeking Batman's help to solve a case makes absolutely no sense, especially since she has the wisdom of Athena. I guess one could assume she wanted someone to hold her back from attacking the gods for their belligerence, but it certainly isn't written that way, with her only explanation being "you're the World's Greatest Detective." In fact, this whole issue just feels too focused on Batman as opposed to Wonder Woman, IN HER OWN DAMN BOOK. At one point, Zeus puts Batman on a different level above gods and mortals. The obsession of DC to put Batman on god level is getting ridiculous at this point. Wonder Woman did feel out of character in this issue for the majority of it. It is explained near the end of the issue that she is tired of the gods treating humanity like playthings, which is understandable, but it is placed in an awkward point in the story. The final moment between Batman and Wonder Woman of him admitting that she made him believe in God again was a good moment, but I feel it would have been better in a Batman issue. I haven't seen such a falloff for a run. more
