Wonder Woman #753

Wonder Woman settles just a bit more into Boston as an appealing member of her supporting cast gets a few key moments with the hero. Its an issue with action, drama, and the lead-in to further tensions to come that terminates in a hyper-dramatic moment at Dianas place, which launches #753 directly into #754. Its a smartly-constructed issue that Orlando and Raynor have put together.  Read Full Review

While another creative team debut is imminent, Orlando and Raynor keep delivering solid action and character work on whats proven to be a resurgence of sorts for Wonder Woman. Read Full Review

Max Raynor delivers some great art throughout this issue. Not only are the fights big, bold and brilliantly detailed, but the character details are fantastic along with the backgrounds. There is a scene between Nora and Diana on the rainy streets of Boston that looks amazing both in the framing of the panel and the details in the art. Read Full Review

Steve Orlando's Wonder Woman run is turning into a fascinating experiment now that it's doing its own stories, pulling characters and plot threads from some super-obscure DC books " not all of which are WW-related. Read Full Review

Though somewhat slight in plot,Wonder Woman #753 works for what it is, contrasting Diana with a warrior of a more hack-and-slash mindset in a way that winningly showcases her strengths. This is a great time to get in on this title! Read Full Review

"The Iron Maiden" has proven to be a solid arc that sets more pieces up moving forward. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #753 was another solid issue in Steve Orlando's run on this series. Orlando continues to build a strong foundation to make the eventual clashes between Wonder Woman and Four Horsewomen something to look forward to. Read Full Review

We come to the end of the Iron Maiden arc in this issue, and though it closes this chapter on a fitting note for Diana and Valda, the pacing cuts us from establishing an emotional connection with Valda. The art suffers, possibly from such a rapid release schedule, but still has lots to offer. Read Full Review

I think overall, it just felt too safe. I wanted to be left more in a state of awe, and feel like that the creative team really poured themselves into it, rather than they completed a project. Read Full Review

The result is an issue that is heavy on action which is always fun to read, but it also comes across as a bit haphazard, narrative-wise, and muchof the Valda element of things just feels superfluous once it comes to a rather lackluster end. Read Full Review

I like the idea of the Four Horsewomen, but I also like the idea of a story that I can follow and one that seems to have real consequences.  I didn't see much evidence of those two things, and while I did like the art, there wasn't much else that tickled my fancy here.  Read Full Review

I think this issue is fine. My big problem right now is Warmaster. I don't find her motivation compelling and she's not doing much of anything. The issue feels like a lot of set up with a cool fight scene thrown in. But the art is gorgeous and there are some decent character moments. Read Full Review

Prelude: I haven't been enjoying Orlando's Wonder Woman but let's see how he handles this arc before Tamaki starts on the title. The Good: Interesting cliffhanger. The Bad: The pacing of this issue is very confusing. It's boring. Conclusion: The issue... it exists. There's nothing that completely ruins the title, but it just doesn't work well for me.

The history of Valda was a mess and it annoyed me more than it probably should have. The rest of this comic was coincidentally a mess, so that’s nice consistency at least.

This title is such a slog. DC needs to learn to care about Wonder Woman. She's part of the Trinity, right?

DC really needs to start caring about the two parts of the Trinity as well.
