Dec 21, 2019Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #1 is a surprise from DCs Black Label, which until now has been home to established DC superstars like Frank Miller and Scott Snyder, playing in familiar sandboxes. Its a nice departure for Black Label and one thats extremely welcome. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Olivier Roth
Dec 18, 2019This is a strong debut issue for Johnson's take on Wonder Woman and I can't wait to read the second issue. DC Black Label continues to be a really fun alternative to most mainstream DC books on the shelves and diversify the company's selection more and more with each new release. Read Full Review

Newsarama - Forrest C. Helvie
Dec 19, 2019Writer/artist Daniel Warren Johnson's story positions Wonder Woman as humanity's last surviving hero and protector, and it very much plays out like a superhero riff on Mad Max: Fury Road as far as the narrative goes. Artistically, Johnson and Spicer's style complements the raw and rough world where Diana finds herself and really sets the tone for the first issue. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Kate Snchez
Dec 18, 2019Overall, I think thatWonder Woman: Dead Earthwill thrive once all four books have been released. While I love the title there are some glaring issues that keep this book from greatness though I have absolute faith in its development which makes me frustrated that the book is coming out every other month, but is to be expected with the 48-page count. If you're looking for a different kind of Wonder Woman story, pick upDead Earth. Read Full Review

This was a great read. DWJ does a great job WW's larger than life persona. The art is just amazing. It's refreshing to read a positive female role model without the writer talking do his audience (yet) Let's hope he keeps this up! I'm on board

I haven't read a Wonder Woman story since DC Rebirth's "Truth" and "Lies" story arc a couple of years back. I've been having a good run of luck with DC Black Label series so adding Dead Earth to my pull list as an easy decision. Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is a nice companion piece to Batman: Last Night on Earth. Both books cover similar post-apocalyptic scenarios. Dead Earth benefits by being a much tighter and focused narrative. Last Knight on Earth felt like a tour of the decimated DC universe while Dead Earth feels like a personal journey for Diana. There are some big twists in this issue and come surprising and unexpected cameo's from DC heavy hitters. One element that I didn't care for was the cover. It's pretty bland and it does more

It took a while to adapt to art, but it was great issue. Wonder woman is in post-apo world like a concentrated hope and light. She want to save everybody. I'm looking forward to next issue with more information about past and connecton between WW and catastrophy that decimated humankind.

So Wonder Woman Last Knight on Earth then? I do like seeing Wonder Woman get a dedicated graphic novel about the end of the world that would usually be reserved almost exclusively for Batman. I don't like the new Cheetah design.... eww. Yes, I get she is a mutation.

Solid, interesting, pretty. Not as gripping as it could've been until the very end. But it's going to be four issues, each the length of this one (which was 45 pages of actual comic book, x4 for a total of a ~180-page story in the end) and the final page definitely got me primed for what's next.

Solid start. An elseworld story of Wonder Woman in a post-apocalyptic world, written and drawn by DWJ. Its sad that this is the best Wonder Woman series going on rn. Im short, WW wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by monsters with pockets of humans, and has to figure out what happened in order to help humanity survive. Lots of build up, but done crisp and clean writing with some bombastic action scenes of WW fighting monsters. Art was the perfect style for such a genre, really gritty and raw with colors that pop out to the eye. However, I really don't like how Wonder Woman looks. Sorry, but she was always a Victoria Secret style of an MMA fighter, here she is a teenage sized mess of a bad hair day. I know DWJ wanted to show he more

Yet another post-apocalyptic comic from DC. I enjoy the art but every character seems so young, Wonder Woman looks 14. A bit of a drag of an issue but this series definitely has potential

8.0
A pretty solid start here, in my opinion. I think a little bit of the story here felt somewhat rushed, but it wasn't anything to the point where I didn't enjoy the book. The story, as a whole, is definitely interesting and it leaves me wanting more. Also, Johnson's art is great, of course.

In which Diana wakes up to a ruined earth, is betrayed, then beaten, yet her undying resolve to love mankind, flawed though it may be, still causes her to emerge victorious. I loved some aspects of this but was very bothered by others. First of all, either this was crammed with way too many plot developments, or I've become so used to the plot decompression in modern comics that I FEEL as though too many plot developments were crammed into this. Daniel Warren Johnson takes on a very busy tour on Wonder Woman: Dead Earth #1 yet I felt I wasn't allowed to ever stop and smell the roses, so to speak. Because of the hastened pace, it feels as though many things that could've been explained better (or at all) had no time to breathe, and it more

I checked this out because of how much I enjoyed Daniel Warren Johnson's Extremity and Murder Falcon. Diana looks a bit young, but the creature designs are cool. Even though this is a post apocalyptic future, the weirdest thing is Batman's body in full uniform dead on his couch. It's not like Batman to die sitting down. But I'm liking this overall, DWJ is good at expressing his characters' inner emotions. If you like this, check out Extremity which is even better.
