Wonder Woman #43

Steve Trevor lets Jason know how little he is trusted. Diana is attempting to force the information out of the Female Furies. Just what does Darkseid have planned? Read Full Review

The issue ends with the promise of another showdown, so do yourself a favour, and pick up this issue so that you are not lost when issue #44 hits the stands. Robinson has an opportunity to stay in the high rev range all the way to #50 and silence those who are still pining for a Rucka return. Godspeed Jimmy. Read Full Review

The artwork for this issue was pretty decent. There were moments that stood out more than others; such as the chaotic scene on the third to last page. I love the use of a fractured image to imply that they all got grabbed by the portal. The swirling nature is nothing new as far as representing portals goes, but the fracturing was new. I liked it. Plus there's plenty of dramatic poses, and as per usual Diana gets most of them. Read Full Review

While Wonder Woman #43 does not answer every question about Darkseid's plans or even where Jason got his powers, it is a fun issue. There was a moment where Trevor mentioned that Amanda Waller had offered the services of the Suicide Squad to him. That would have been an interesting crossover event, had it played out that way. However, allowing Trevor and Jason's relationship to grow a little more added extra depth to Jason's development as a character. He wants Steve Trevor to trust him and he is willing to do whatever he needs to earn Steve's trust. In the final events of the issue, Wonder Woman #43 ensures that readers are going to see a lot of action in the next issue. Read Full Review

WONDER WOMAN #43 is a great build-up to the grand confrontation between Darkseid and Wonder Woman. However, Jason's characterization, as well as a lacking of Wonder Woman herself, takes away from the overall piece's potential. Read Full Review

While the story structure and dialogue has improved, it's clearly a rehash of the last issue. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman continues to be disappointing and while the character dialog in this issue comes off better than previous issues........ it's still a padded out issue, where the only bit that really matters is the last couple of pages.  I love the art in this issue, but like usual....... that's really the only thing I love about this book. Read Full Review

All in all, this issue felt like filler, and poor filler at that. By the end of the book, Robinson finally delivered on the promise of the teaser from the issue before, but its too little, too late. If this arc has any hope of being saved, the pace is going to have to pick up on the back half. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #43 is another issue of Robinson's run that not only completely lacks a compelling plotline, but shows a complete lack of understanding of its main character. Read Full Review

This issue isn't that bad but it feels superfluous. Outside of the ending, nothing is really accomplished. A lot of time is wasted on the fight with the Furies which looks great but feels hollow. The issue feels like the story is being stretched out and it ends up being a fairly boring issue. Read Full Review

Each issue of the current Wonder Woman run manages to accomplish very little in the least interesting manner possible. Read Full Review

I'm really enjoying Wonder Woman #43 and James Robinson is kicking goals again with an enjoyable story that is furthering to the mythology of this Amazonian Princess. It is brought to life by the amazing art of Marco Santucci who creates that blockbuster experience for one of our favourite DCU heroes, the amazing Wonder Woman Read Full Review

Welcome to the Oblivion Bar where the first round is on me and the pretzels are free! Be warned: like the pickled eggs at the bar, this issue is going to get SPOILED rotten. Here is what you get: Steve doesn’t trust Jason. Wonder Woman tries to get the furies to tell her what’s going on; and Darkseid wants relics from ARGUS so he uses his Stargate ( no lie it looks just like SG1) to teleport part of ARGUS to the Amazon Jungle. But the real question is: do I like it? Well, kind of... From an outside perspective, we get Wonder Woman and freakin’ Darkseid!!! We get Jason, Wonder Woman’s long lost twin Brother, Grail, Furies, and some killer fights. But it does just feel like something is missing. Maybe it’s how Jason is wr itten or his background? Maybe it’s Steve Trevor always calling Diana “angel”? But I just feel like a book that has Darkseid in it should feel bigger and better than this is... but it’s not. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an ok book and issue. The art is also ok but it’s just..... ok. Should we trust Jason or not? Did the gods give him is armor or not? What exactly are Jason’s Powers? Is he an elemental? What does Darkseid REALLY want? Before it was to be a big boy Darkseid again. But what now? Why don’t you just go back to apocalypse? I think we just aren’t getting any answers and just tacking on more questions. I hope we get some of these questions answered in the next issue because I can see the potential in this comic right now but it just needs to come out!

In this issue of Wonder Jason, Jason continues to revel in his newfound superpowers. He's so cool, you guys. He's so powerful now, he's even stronger than his sister (you know, whatsherface. I wanna say... Dina? Diane, maybe?). He's so powerful, he's still discovering new abilities! But Steve Trevor is not impressed! He doesn't want anybody hurting His Angel (swoon!). And, hoo boy, I wouldn't want to get on his bad side, because according to James Robinson, the guy is a top-grade enlisted Navy man, a government operative and (by logical deduction) the youngest Air Force Colonel in US history! He even hows how to defeat that Dana chick! Gosh, it's great to finally see some Strong Male Characters taking the lead in Wonder Woman. Meanwhi le, Didi faffs around and generally fails to contribute anything, as per usual. I know this sounds harsh, but I just don't see why Robinson is keeping this girl around any more. She's such a dud! Like, last issue, Grail straight-up told her what Darkseid's plan was. He needs an army, and in order to get one he needs to reach Themyscira. Home of a race of immortal warrior women. It doesn't take a genius to do the math, right? Welp, ol' Debbie isn't much of a thinker, so she decides to interrogate the captive Female Furies and see if they can spell it out for her. And I know what you're thinking, she can't screw this up, surely -- she has a Lasso of Truth! All she has to do is tie the prisoners up and wait for them to start gabbing. But no, that's just too damn sensible for Denise, who has to complicate things yet again by releasing the prisoners, giving them back their weapons and making them fight her. As if once she's beaten into the ground, they'll start to feel differently about betraying their boss. Ugh, she's such an ass. Whose idea was it to let Darlene tag along on this story anyway? more
