But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Oct 24, 2023Wonder Woman #2 is a show of strength and steel. Wonder Woman has often been presented as a being of compassion and love, but King is also hammering home the point that she is one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe. Read Full Review

Oct 24, 2023Wonder Woman #2 is a fantastic issue of a series that is starting very strong. There are some other great comics out this week, but this is the one you should buy. Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Oct 29, 2023While I'm not overly interested in the Amazon's Attack! event that this comic is helping to set up, and which the back-up story foreshadows, Wonder Woman #2 is easily one of the best comic books I've read this year providing action while at the same time exploring the character of Diana, who she is, why she fights, and why she must take a stand for what's right.

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Nov 08, 2023There might have been some doubt that Wonder Woman was in good hands at the end of the first issue of the current series. That doubt evaporates pretty quickly with the second issue. King and company arent doing anything with Wonder Woman that she hasnt done before, but they manage to make it work in a way that feels new and novel while embracing the traditions of one of the most storied heroes in the history of popular fiction. Wonder Womans been a fugitive before. Shes been up against similar villains in the past. If King and company are going to keep things fresh, theyre going to have to continue to do the kind of job that they have done with the second issue. Read Full Review

Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield
Oct 24, 2023That's why I'm sure it'll frustrate people that this entire issue takes place amid a fifteen-minute battle segment of Diana vs. the US military, combined with a lengthy flashback to the final battle of Diana's initial tournament on Themysciraand it is a very odd way to start a run only two issues in. But you know what? It doesn't matter, because it's excellent. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Oct 24, 2023Wonder Woman #2 slows down a bit to reveal how brave and confident Wonder Woman is when entering battle. Not only that, we get to see her abilities pushed to the max as she faces a literal army. Wonder Woman hits with ferocity and intensity, unlike any other superhero comic. Read Full Review

Oct 24, 2023Wonder Woman #2 continues the story arc with a mixture of great character moments and action. Like the best stories, this tale holds a mirror up to our current political climate and issues were wrestling with in the real world. Though Sargent Steel is a hammy villain who detracts from the grimness of the story, theres still a lot to love here and I look forward to seeing what happens next. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi
Oct 24, 2023This new era of Wonder Woman is only on issue #2 but is off to a promising start. Tom King works best telling smaller, more focused, and personal stories and it has been some time since he has been constantly on a major ongoing series. Daniel Samperes art is a fantastic fit for the story that King is telling. So far, the series has picked up some momentum and the narrative is engaging and well-written. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Oct 25, 2023This was a rough follow-up to what was a pleasant debut issue. King's biggest problem might be he writes stories with the thought that they're going to be epic classics that need to pass some high literature test. Instead, he misses the moments to make a fun comic and portrays everything far too seriously. And where's the fun in that? Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Oct 23, 2023Wonder Woman #2 is a visually pleasing action comic that moves at a snail's pace and gives you nothing in return for the time you invest reading it. King makes no progress on the plot, the mystery behind Emelie's actions, or unveiling anything about the Sovereign. If you skipped this issue, you won't miss a thing. Read Full Review

Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez
Oct 24, 2023Wonder Woman #2 is a massive dropping of the ball from a story perspective. Tom King failed to push the story forward in a meaningful way. Luckily Daniel Sampere stepped up big to make Wonder Woman appear as the badass she is with big event-level artwork. The Amazons Attack back-up by Josie Campbell and Vasco Georgiev at least saved things from the story side as we got some development for the bigger direction of the franchise. Hopefully King steps his game up in the next issue to push the story forward. Read Full Review

DC Comics News - Matthew Lloyd
Oct 24, 2023Diana seems to take a back seat as it's all seen through the Sovereign's point of view. Any appeal for this series is like a car crash- you want to see the outcome with the hopes that some people will survive. Nothing really feels new or interesting, and the characters are already twisting into unrecognizable versions. King hasn't put in the work to get the reader to this point in the story to make it believable. Read Full Review

ComicBook.com - Nicole Drum
Oct 25, 2023Daniel Sampere is a master of art here and it might be the finest thing about this book, particularly with how he uses the art to mirror two stories in a way that is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, art alone does not make a story or a comic or a story and we are once again mired in wasted space and wasted time as Tom King drags on two battles that take too long and really offer nothing other than to display Diana's prowess something that literally anyone who has ever heard the name "Wonder Woman" is already well aware of.

To say I loved Tom King's debut on Wonder Woman in the last issue would be an understatement. It had everything I want in a Wonder Woman story and everything I've come to love from a Tom King book. And then Issue #2 came out and I discovered this new run could get even better. Every turn of the page comes with the feeling of something momentous awaiting you. Every panel drips with grandeur from King's writing and Daniel Sampere's art. The juxtaposition between Wonder Woman's two very different lived experiences is a masterclass in storytelling. Few can build a tender tension the way King does and he deploys it exceptionally well here. Sampere's depicts Wonder Woman's strength through two beautifully brutal battles - one on a modern battlef more

I really didn't want to give #1 and #2 a 10. I hold those back for something incredible. To me, this is that. Getting me to care about a WW monthly is a true feat, since there have been so few decent ones. Loved Perez, loved Rucka, liked Azzarello a lot and there's a lot of room for this to change but, so far, this is far and away my favorite WW title ever. Ever.

Although this was still a bit wordy, I ended up really enjoying this by the end. Sampere does an awesome job with the art, and I found King's story to be well-written once more. I still have similar complaints about this issue that I had with the previous, in terms of Diana's dialogue and the amount of narration, but I can't deny that the story is good. I particularly enjoyed that the stories from the past and present complimented one another nicely. I didn't have a strong opinion on the backup, but I did really like Georgiev's art.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much more palatable than #1. Not without its flaws, though, number one being characterization of Trevor.

Remaining cautiously optimistic as I haven't liked King's writing since the early stages of his Batman run but this was another good issue. Though most of DC's backups of late have been awful, this one's interesting and I'm very excited to see Josie Campbell given a Yara Flora story and think she'd be the perfect writer to give that character the run she deserves.

I'm wondering what Tom King's voice for Wonder Woman is, still. We hardly actually see her speak, it's all about how she is perceived. And there's this moment that honestly seems a bit off to me, but I'm not a huge Wonder Woman reader or fan so I'm not sure if it's just me not really getting the character: Wonder Woman basically says, "I don't want to hurt you, but if you keep fighting, I will hurt you pathetic people". The pathetic part is the part that I'm not sure about as it seems a little bit off for the character, as I know them. It could be completely in keeping with WW, idk. I'm just slightly wary of King's ability to write a strong female character that isn't so hooked on those clichés, one of which is an overly harsh, off-putt more

the art is amazing, but the story...not so much. This entire issue is a battle with the US military and Tom King altering Diana's origin story to include his new character so Diana will have a personal connection to the villain. There was a million ways for Diana to have that connection, instead, he messed with her origin. And since she was the only child on Paradise Island, it would not be hard to figure out who she was. Poor writing. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/ir-X9quKku4

It's not awful but way too much set up and not much revealed in this issue, this will make many ppl take it off their pull list imo.

Just what I like to read when I read a WW comic, Diana killing a bunch of soldiers because one Amazon killed people in a bar. This is dumb as hell and King still relies on narration as a crutch because he never learned to show instead of tell.

Great story if you have never heard of Wonder Woman and have no idea who she is. If you are the rest of the world, at least the good side is it is boring, which is probably the best you will get from CIA's Tom King.

The whole time I'm reading this I'm saying to the blue dialogue box "ShUT THE F**K UP!!" Like OMG Tom King is really full of himself... Im only going to keep going because I like the art and I want to read more about Trinity because I was impressed with Wonder Woman #800 when they showed her and Batman/Supermans sons together. But I'm sorry this is horrible, Tom King is a try hard power who thinks his writing is some kind of epic never before told story. His tropes are predictable, his villains are two dimensional and even the other background characters are really full. And this is all because of a bar room fight from ish #1?! BS. I've never read any Tom King stuff and heard some bad things about it but wanting to see for myself goi more
