The Pulse:
Another beautifully rendered issue on art – from everyone – that makes the book visually breathtaking. The history of the Esquecida and Yara Flor was intriguing while the Trial of the Amazon parts (very few) felt like an afterthought as the book ends where the last issue of Wonder Woman did. You can tell that this was meant to be the penultimate issue of the previously ongoing Wonder Girl series. An entertaining read, but a mixed bag. 7 out of 10.
