Oct 23, 2019Tom Derenick brings some beautiful art to this issue. Everything from the characters to the background details are great. I loved all of the fight scenes between Diana and Cheetah. Read Full Review

Oct 23, 2019Ultimately, this was a good run with a lot of intriguing elements, but I think the schedule changes kept it from becoming a truly great one. Read Full Review

Nov 03, 2019This is an okay issue. It's a decent finale to a not great story. The conclusion is a little easy and requires little to no effort on Diana's part. Atlantiades solves everything by giving Diana new armor and, seemingly, new powers. There are some interesting moments and ideas that could be cool in future issues but there's not a lot in this to grab onto. Read Full Review

Oct 23, 2019We get Wonder Woman winning the day with a touch, a new god and a whole lot of nothing in between. In the end, most of the consequences were wiped clean and I was left wishing I had something more than the art to praise here. Sadly, the love returning to the world didn't help me love this issue or this run at all. Read Full Review

Oct 23, 2019The finale of "Loveless" reads like a mandatory connecting issue between much more significant events, poor form for a story built across so many issues and month. Read Full Review

Prelude: While it started out well, Loveless has been decreasing in quality every issue. Is this the one to turn it around? The Good: I liked Atlantiades becoming the new Goddess of Love. That cliffhanger has promise. The Bad: Story was resolved too quickly. It's the ole "give the hero a power boost to defeat the villain" trope. Conclusion: It's a passable issue but Wilson still misunderstands the character and the story was wrapped up too quickly and predictable for what was previously set-up. Also editors screwed up with the Doom Symbol but that's across all of DC, but most recognisable for Wonder Woman.

A frustrating (and premature) ending to G. Willow Wilson's generally uneven run, and we're closing without it feeling like she ever really found her feet on this book or the voice for some of these characters - especially Barbara Ann who is just a generic ranty villain instead of the tragic figure Greg Rucka made her at the start of this series. Everything is rushed, motivations are unclear, and the drama never really soars. This book just never felt like Wilson's heart was in it.
