how is this issue unimaginative and boring?

Wonder Woman #10
Cheetah enters the fray as the Sovereign recruits Diana's greatest foe to deal the killing blow! Meanwhile, the Wonder Girls may have promised their mentor that they'd stay out of her fight, but well-behaved heroes seldom make history. Will they reach Diana before it's too late?

Wonder Woman #9

Tied with issue #4 for my favorite issue of the run so far. King's doing good work.
Wonder Woman #6
WONDER WOMAN AGAINST HER GREATEST FOES! After thwarting each threat that the Sovereign has thrown at her, he decides to bring in the biggest guns the DCU has to offer. Let the battle royale begin! Plus, the Super Sons' bedtime story goes wrong!
As I mentioned in my review of the debut issue, this series continues to have a Harley Quinn problem. She sucks up so much oxygen throughout every issue that it's difficult to look past her constant presence and enjoy anything else about this book. Without Harley, this could be an habitual 10/10 series because everything else about it has been amazing - the side characters (including any Bird of P more
Birds of Prey #3
The covert first mission of the re-formed Birds of Prey has established their beachhead...in Themyscira! What could be so important to Black Canary that she'd risk the wrath of the greatest warriors on Earth?!
Annoyed me in Cloonan/Conrad's portion that Batman and Superman got more page time and attention than other Wonder Woman characters like Artemis, Nubia, and Hippolyta. It was bad enough their sons were in King's story but the first part didn't need them.
King's story was clearly prologue territory but I liked what I saw of Trinity/Lizzie. Just hope Superman II and Batman Jr. don't take

Diana's visions become more vivid as she finds herself trapped in the dreams of those around her! As she struggles to escape, her life as Wonder Woman h...
Incredible. Simply incredible.
Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #3
The third and final chapter of the critically lauded and Eisner-nominated secret history of the Amazons crescendos with the inevitable-an all-out war against the gods. When Zeus discovers the goddesses defied him by creating the Amazons, seemingly nothing can stop his fervor to eliminate their warriors...not even Hera herself. But the Amazons' numb...
Strong issue. Cloonan and Conrad write a great Hippolyta, definitely makes up for her underuse in their run so far.
Designs for the gods were mixed for me. Hecate was the best but ones from WW: Historia still probably won't be beat for me.
Olympus: Rebirth #1
After years of bitter and violent conflict, the Greek pantheon of gods stands united to welcome their latest goddess...Hippolyta of Themyscira! Due to her heroic efforts in the mortal realm, the former queen has earned her rightful place among the gods and plans to use her newfound powers to take care of her Amazon sisters from beyond. Little does ...
Wonder Woman #789
Man-ifest your future! Thanks to Cizko's new catchphrase, he's gained fans, and more importantly, soldiers in his war against Wonder Woman. But with Checkmate at our hero's side, the depraved doctor will have to bring in big guns like...the Duke of Deception! Will this former agent of Ares prove too much for the Amazon Princess? Plus, a growing dan...
Wow, Rosenberg doesn't get Damian's, Dick's or Bruce's character at all. It's a shame this is so generic, I was looking forward to an in-depth exploration of what Dick's betrayal would cause. What a way to squander their dynamic. Makes me miss the Reborn era even more.
DC vs. Vampires: Hunters #1
A blood-soaked one-shot tale of vampire violence! The Son of Batman, after years of training to be an assassin, is on a path toward utter destruction of the vampire race... Enter Damian Wayne: vampire hunter!
Superman vs. Lobo (2021)
What happens when an indomitable force meets an irritating object? That's what readers find out when Superman runs into Lobo. Think of it like a boy scout joining a biker gang. What will be worse, the damage Lobo causes on his own, or the chaos of trying to stop him? I smell a team-up, fanboys! Numen is the most popular being in the universe, a god...
Action Comics (2016)
"The Last Will and Testament of Lex Luthor"! When Superman's world was reborn, his greatest enemy became his most unexpected ally. But does that truly reflect Lex Luthor-or was it all a sham? Now, as Lex Luthor's path toward righteousness reaches its apex, he finds himself involved in an adventure in which Superman stands to be destroyed. What choi...
Batgirls (2021)
Um, hello-you didn't actually think we'd keep you waiting this entire year without giving you the Batgirls series we've all been wanting for forever, right? No way, we love you too much-just like Batgirls Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown, who are only able to navigate the dark, gritty, and oftentimes scary city of Gotham by leaning on the bright ...
Jurassic League #2
Bizzarosaur has invaded Supersaur's home village, and now the super-powered sauropod must defend his home and the humans who have raised him since his arrival on Earth.

Wonder Woman #788
As Cizko continues to build his forces, Wonder Woman discovers that she will not have to face the threat of this new "Villainy Inc." alone. Diana is joined by friends old and new, including Steve Trevor and Etta Candy, now operating as agents of Checkmate, along with displaced Asgardian heartthrob Siegfried. But as Cizko continues to gain power and...
Really enjoyed this issue, nice seeing so many disparate Transformers all in one series. Art was really good.
Transformers: Last Bot Standing #2
After ages of isolation, the Last Bot meets with the Visitors, the last straggling survivors of a dying race and the greatest threat Donnokt's ever seen. But how will the locals react to not only mysterious Visitors from the stars but also a robot in disguise in their midst?
The resolution of the Altuum plot spilling over from TotA pulls down an otherwise enjoyable issue.
Steve and Siegfried are an absolute delight, Dr. Psycho is creepy af, and Diana has her hands full of problems already.
Thanks to Antiope the Young Diana backup feels more relevant to the present-day story than its past iterations.
Wonder Woman #787
Spinning out of Trial of the Amazons... What lies in the treacherous waters surrounding the island of Themyscira? Wonder Woman takes a deep dive into her culture looking for answers to Altuum's claims of living in paradise before the Amazons ever arrived at the request of the gods. Could the legends told in her childhood all be lies?
Transformers: Last Bot Standing
When the last stars flicker and fade, who will be the only Cybertronian left? The planet Donnokt sits on the edge of the universe, far away from all the stars that are flickering and fading out one last time. It is a world on the precipice of revolution-industrialization-taking its first steps into the realms of the mechanical. And on the far edge ...
Interesting first issue, ending does have me interested in reading the second issue.
