Once again, it’s time for a new two-part story in the world of Wonder Woman!

As usual, the writing by Gail Simone is fantastic, giving Wonder Woman the personality and voice that has been thrown around a lot for some time now. It’s like a match made in heaven; it’s always making me say, “Oh, Wonder Woman would so do that.” Simone brings a great balance of action, great dialogue and stories interesting enough to keep me hooked on this series. The humor makes me laugh and giggle. For example, when she meets a Khund called “Neko” - which is her iSpace handle - who is a fan of Wonder Woman. Her father introduces her as the daughter who watches “the MTV”, and I thought that was a real riot.

Bernard Chang is the new artist for this two part story, and I must admit that I was a bit skeptical that anyone could do the same justice as the Dodsons did, but I was quite impressed by what he drew. I had a few irks with some of her facial expressions; for example, in the last panel, she was supposed to be shocked, but instead she looked like she was about to go to sleep, and her head seemed bigger than usual. Other than that, he did capture her facial expressions well in other panels, and the action scenes were drawn very nicely.

Overall, I’m happy with this issue. #19 gives us a clue of who she’ll be fighting, and I’m pretty psyched right now to find out how this showdown will go down. Last time Wonder Woman fought a Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) she ended up getting throw into the sea, so I’m eager to see how this pans out.
