Superman / Wonder Woman: Futures End #1

SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN saga now wraps up with a teasing twist to the wonder couple as we now get to rewind the clock and go back to the aftermath. It was a solid story and if you want a FUTURES END worth reading this one is it. Read Full Review

The issue is a step up from the Wonder Woman one shot as the clarity of this issue makes the story an overall better read, even though the previous issue ends up being a cop out. Read Full Review

But Azzarello's book was quality for the story it was telling. I guess since this is as much an Elseworlds as anything I can enjoy it for what it is. And that is a story that finally shows me who Wonder Woman should be. Not the sword wielding, stab first, 'kill your enemies' person. But a hero who is looking to move away from war and death.

Superman/Wonder Woman: Futures End #1 may not fit well as a Futures End story, but as a look at war it was good.  Wonder Woman does what it takes to win while past Superman shows there is still a chance for our favorite power couple.  I wish there was a way for the ending to show up in the regular run of Wonder Woman and this book, but I know it won't and/or can't.  It's still real to me. Dammit. Read Full Review

Don't bother reading this issue without having read Charles Soule's Wonder Woman: Futures End #1 first. Or maybe don't bother reading this one anyway. The Wonder Woman issue offered a great little tale that fell apart as soon as it transitioned into this second part instead of just ending. Sadly, little in this chapter justifies the continuation.

A confusing mess of arbitrary plot developments with clueless art to boot. Read Full Review

The gravitas of what transpires in this book is hampered by staccato dialogue (heavy use of ellipsis and seemingly truncated sentences) and below-average art. Not recommended to anyone who hasn't been keeping up with Superman/Wonder Woman - there's nothing here to offer new readers. A rare blotch on the hitherto excellent track record of Charles Soule.

Story is generally pointless and sort of redundant, but the feel-good climax could have redeemed this issue, if not for the art. This issue is easily the worst-drawn comic book issue from the past few decades that I have read. It is so ugly in general, that many people will just stop reading this midway.

This is the second part of a story that shouldn't have a second part. There's no real confrontation with Nemesis from the Wonder Woman issue, and there's very little development for the characters or story. The best thing about this book is the ending, with Wonder Woman becoming the Goddess of Peace, instead of the Goddess of War. That's a great moment to see in an otherwise worthless book. The art isn't great, and tends to look rushed at best in places. But the thing that really kills this for me is actually the editing. Sentence structure is terrible in places, and should have been caught. Words that were unnecessary in the sentences, words that were missing... it's a mess. I recommend not buying this book, since it makes the Wonder Woman issue meaningless. more
