Wonder Woman #62

This is an example of how truly great the character can be when someone thoughtful and sincere, with a mind to make real change in the world around them, is given the keys to the kingdom. Read Full Review

This is a great finale to this story. It looks great; I love the style. And the story is interesting and ends in a way that is satisfying in a bitter sweet way. I really enjoyed this issue. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman (2016-) #62 was a superb finish to an intense story arc. G. Willow Wilson once again flexes her storytelling abilities to create a tense, emotional, and introspective issue, packed with nail-biting action. Read Full Review

Overall, this was a perfect conclusion to an arc that started off a little weak. Chalk up that uneven beginning to Wilson getting her bearings, though, because she finished with strong, and has managed to lay a solid foundation for what will, hopefully, be a long run. If youre a fan of Wonder Woman done right, stick around to see where this story is going. People will, no doubt, be talking about this run in a few months time. Read Full Review

Writer G. Willow Wilson gives us a strong ending to "The Just War." Durovnia has peace, Ares has a quest, and Diana needs to find out what happened to Themyscira. Artist Xermanico draws one of the best-looking books I've seen this year. Read Full Review

Wilson, Xermanico, and Fajardo Jr. give readers a little bit of everything in Wonder Woman #62 a comic book that is thoughtful and well-executed. Read Full Review

I truly enjoyed Xermanico's art in this issue. Everything was done with stunning details and a fluid grace of movement in the action and fight scenes. A truly enjoyable visual experience. Read Full Review

Will Wilson actually take Diana back home and bring the Amazons back into the supporting cast? We'll see, but I continue to be consistently intrigued by the ambition of this run. Read Full Review

This has been one of the better arcs of late, starting strong and staying strong throughout. Overall the story ends well closing the arc while opening more questions, signaling new challenges and a new direction for Diana as she moves forward, an entertaining read and well worth picking up.

I really liked this issue and thought it was one of the most gorgeous comics of the year so far. Xermanico is wonderful and I hope he returns to the title very soon. Wilson's script was pretty good and the way she plotted the action, along with Xermanico's execution, was delightful. I'm hoping the run can sustain this positive trajectory. Read Full Review

The final confrontation was underwhelming, the but resolution was nice. Wonder Woman is in good hands with G. Willow Wilson at the helm. Read Full Review

In the end, there is plenty more thinking and talking about justice and other big ideas, all wrapping up with a terribly modern feeling: there is no end to War, there is only sometimes an end to fighting. As endings go, it is a solid landing, planting Wilson's Wonder Woman squarely for take-off to her next adventure. Overall, reception for this arc has been lukewarm (not just me!). I'm hopeful, however, that now that the awkward start is complete, Wilson and team can really take Diana into new places and continue to build her legend. There's a lot of promise in this team-up of Wilson and Wonder Woman that hasn't yet been realized. Maybe next month! Always, in comics, there's next month. Read Full Review

While the story has a few glimmers, the conclusion to the Just War feels imbalanced. Read Full Review

Art remains an improvement over what Cary Nord gave us in the first two issues – I'd really like him to be replaced full time, sadly solicits imply otherwise – but that doesn't do much to cover up the fact that this first story arc in Wilson's run didn't do much for me. It pains me to say that because as I noted earlier, I am a huge fan of hers and wanted her on this book. I can see what she was trying to do with the political side of this story and posing the question “what is a just war,” but she didn't spend enough time setting it up in the earlier issues, which led to this ending feeling abrupt and hollow. I still have faith, and my score reflects that despite what my review may have indicated – butt G Willow needs to really bring it in the next arc. Read Full Review

There's still promise in Wilson's basic handling of the characters, but this storyline got too big too soon and feels out of place. Read Full Review

Not only was the move to Xermanico a positive step, but prolific colorist Romula Fajardo Jr. shines in this arc's final issue. Wilson again demonstrates a wholly different skill set from her relatable Kamala Khan dialogue, crafting believable grandiose lines between gods. Ares and Diana fighting more about means than ends was a refreshing take, and this run is back on track. PS: Was this arc about Syria or just overall interventionism?

The conflict's been dealt swiftly. The political moments here were interesting, excellent writing.

"We do not part as friends" A solid conclusion to a bit of uneven arc. But I think, that for a first story that is supposed to set up something bigger this was pretty good. The dialogue is good and I really like the way GWW is portraying Wonder Woman. She's strong, determined but doesn't act recklessly. I like that. The art was a bit flimsy, but this issue and the last one look great. The fight between Diana and Ares in this one looks stellar. Overall, I'm satisfied and I look forward to more stories from Ms. Wilson.

An unimpressive arc that seemed to wrap up much more neatly for the final chapter. That whispering thing BETTER NOT LINGER as long as Fury whispering to Thor!

Well the story arc has ended and we have no idea about the Greek animals we saw carrying Steve couple issues back. And something big like Aphrodite gets pushed aside. The art is lovely and dialogue eh ok. Hopefully G. Willow Wilson has her footing down after this arc

There was a lot going into this to like, but I think that it sort of lost its way a little and failed to really get into anybody’s heads, people and gods just seem to sort of be doing things on a whim and I dunno, I really liked it at the start...

Characters flip-flop. Complex threads are either neatly cleaned up or not at all. Disappointment follows. What else is new?

I thought this was fine. I think it was a little hollow. I never really found that stakes all that high and I didn't really find anything in this as inspiring as the writing and art wanted me to. It just wasn't set up properly, I think.
