Kings story draws on some provocative ideas of heroism and villainy that seem to be circulating through the margins of the popular superhero genre. Wonder Woman remains a fascinating character with Kings characterization even if shes not really the central focus of the issue.

If only Wonder Woman as a character is as fleshed out as Daniel Sampere's illustration of mice. Read Full Review
