Wonder Woman #10

Wonder Woman #10 concludes the storyline of the Sovereign attempting to break down Wonder Woman  without wrapping up the entire arc. Having been unable to beat Diana with hired guns, the United States Army, or weeks of torture, the Sovereign looks to let Wonder Woman’s greatest enemy do their job for them as they drop Wonder Woman off on an island in the middle of nowhere where the only other inhabitant is Cheetah. The result is another great story of Wonder Woman kicking some butt while also showing some heart with the frenemy who knows her as well as anyone else on the planet.

Wonder Woman #9

Wonder Woman #9 is an interesting, and effective, way to prolong the Sovereign storyline without any real advancement. We need to know Wonder Woman is still being held by the evil organization but rather than show us her rotting in a cell over months, instead we see the world Diana creates in order to not fall into despair. And at the center of that world is Steve Trevor who acts as her sounding board and, in one crucial moment, reminds the Amazon that she can’t, even in a moment of weakness, ever give in.

Wonder Woman #7

I often lament the lack of one-off super-hero stories. Give me a full story in a single issue and I’m happy. Everything these days gets geared to an arc to be easily bound together as a trade paperback with most of those stories, unfortunately, being often stretched beyond its limits. So I celebrate Wonder Woman giving us a fun little one-issue story of Wonder Woman and Superman shopping at a galactic mall for a birthday present for Batman. Sure, it’s it he most bizarre and illogical place ever (in the middle of Wonder Woman’s battle against Sovereign which is mostly ignored), but it’s still a fun read.

Wonder Woman #6

While it’s unclear what Diana‘s allies were doing, especially given the recent effort to show how unwilling each of them was to let her stand alone, that’s exactly what is in store for Wonder Woman as the Sovereign sends a coordinated attack against the Amazon using the various allies gathered in the last issue (Giganta, Circe, Doctor Psycho, Angle Man, Grail, and Silver Swan) in the National Mall while leaving one more surprise for last.
