How do two of the most powerful beings on earth are able to save the world while still maintaining a solid romantic relationship? Superman and Wonder Woman come from different cultures and have found a way to make their relationship work, the only problem are the constant menaces that invade the universe and one of the most dangerous that has a close connection to Superman has finally arrived.
This is the first issue of Charles Soule's anticipated series starring two of DC's most iconic characters. Does he delivers?
I would say yeah, at least if what you were expecting was a well written book with great characterization. This might sound kinda strange but hear me out, Soule's portrayal of both Clark and Diana is spot-on, he focus on the characteristics and strenghts of their histories and injects them into their personality to make them different and unique enough to create an interesting dynamic. The narration is pretty solid and helps to make the character express their emotions and past without making it awkward nor overwritten.
My problem here, is that I was expecting a bit more, more creativity, more action, more big moments, etc. In fact the only fight from this issue happens on the last couple of pages while the rest was mostly focusing on Clark and Diana's interaction, there were some nice scenes here and there but nothing that would really make this title a huge bombastic spectacle. Not to mention there were only a few interesting new ideas.
Tony Daniel is on art duties and this is probably one of his best works yet. The scenes are powerfully depicted and his characters are beautiful, I hope that in future issues he's able to create more impressive scenes.
Good issue definitely but kind of a disappointment if you're expecting something groundbreaking.
