Wonder Woman 608 Review

It's been pointed out that given my criticisms, my overall rating of the book is too high. However, I still have a little faith in what the book set up and that is keeping me interested. The best part of this issue to me honestly is the set up for 609 in the last couple of pages.

I was finally able to go to the comic book store today and get this as well as Superman. Its weird. Superman has been very talky of late and I haven't liked where its going. Wonder Woman has been all action and I don't like where its going either. If they would combine the two, it might be a good book or maybe even worse. Regardless, I am just hoping this will be ending soon and I can drop these books.

I love JMS' work on Spiderman and even though I find both books' premise interesting, it has become mirred into too much crap. The writing is too much to take in and the action pieces do not flow well. Its probably better JMS got off these books, because he can deflect some of the blame. Unless, the endings are amazing, I can't see this being anything then a disappointment. There have been good issues here and there, but rarely back to back. Most of the good issues have been in Superman while Diana is been left to suffer.

I belive both the Superman and Wonder Woman arcs were planned out as 12-issue runs.

From what Chris Roberson said, I think JMS is just responsible for the overall plot direction at this point, not a lot of the details like Superman being "talky" or WW being "all action."

Well the Wonder Woman arc was extended one more issue and will end at #613.
