A superficial story amounting to a series of uninspired, predictable fight scenes, flat characters, inane dialogue: this book is easily one of the dullest, most uninspired Wonder Woman installments I have read in ages. A pity!

4.5⭐️ lots of twists and turns, and little surprises and good old fashioned gods fighting gods in all out battles. Diana can’t help being Diana , great art again.

Mediocrity , Wonder Woman Vol. 6 , be thou name .
I think as a whole this issue might impress people , but considering the awesomeness that preceded with Rucka's Wonder woman run , it's very dissappointing.
The thing I hated the most was Mr. Generic from Town Amazon , Jason . Not only is his character and motivation generic , he even looks generic and I swear if I see another disjointed family feud in comics I am going to smash a hammer on my head , Thor , Aquaman , The Young Justice Aqualad , This . Enough already!
And I know people like Grail , but I don't like her either , I didn't like anything from the whole Darksied war thing and Grail is no different. The killing of a certain god in the first few pages itself bugged me
What I did like ? I am not sure , I guess it had some moments that made me want to read more , and look for more answers and that intrigue at least deserves praise , specially considering I was put off by the tale told from the get go

Robinson: "What if this Wonder Woman book was about... wait for it... a man?"
DC: "Great idea, bro!"
You know it's quality when in the last issue, it takes 2 pencillers, 3 inkers, 1 colorist, and 1 letterer to finish it.

Some of the things that happened don't make a lot of sense to me, but I had fun and enjoyed the art, so it's still (mostly) a win for me.

So with a new writer, there is a new storyline. Diana has a brother! I was not very surprised but bringing Darkseid into it and his daughter, Grail definitely made things interesting. Though the killing of Zeus children was sad. The art was great. But the whole "I am your father" thing felt abit off to me. Diana has not met her father for years and her loyalty felt strange. Unearned. But this volume ends on a cliff hanger of a fight I would have liked to see. Well, I will need to pick up the next volume.

3 1/2 stars.
Wonder Woman's tale continues in Wonder Woman, Volume 6: Children of the Gods. This is part of her latest series, which started back in 2016. It's also not technically her current series, as DC has many standalone series coming out for this beloved heroine.
Wonder Woman is many things. A hero, an inspiration, a leader. Now, she's a sister. Realistically, fans knew that she had plenty of siblings (well, half-siblings), out there. But that was before we were made aware of Jason.
Jason, her twin. Hidden away from everyone, even his sister, Jason has quite the story to tell. Now, it is time for Diana to learn the whole story. All while taking on the risks that come with adding another person to love into her life.
James Robinson picked up the writing for Wonder Woman Volume 6, and right away you really can see the change in writing style. The sudden shift of focus, including Jason into the mix. While still carrying many lingering elements (looking at you, Darkseid).
I'll admit that this wasn't my favorite volume out there. Yet it fascinated me all the same. The whole story of Jason was interesting, as was the way these two finally found each other. Okay, the follow-up on Darkseid was also interesting (and I imagine he appeared at other places in the comics at this time as well, and it's simply something that I missed).
There were definitely good and bad parts to this plot, resulting in something that was solidly okay. Given the lows and highs that come with a series as long-running as Wonder Woman's, I'll take solidly okay, and I won't even complain about it.
Counter to the okayness of the plot, the artwork is fantastic. It's bold and vibrant in ways that only Wonder Woman can pull off, and I love it. I was particularly drawn by how human the characters looked and felt, as their emotions were clear and the impact of the battles unavoidable. It is exactly that this series needed.
Slowly but surely I'm getting caught up in Wonder Woman's series. Up next: Wonder Woman, Volume 7: Amazons Attacked.

I’m liking Grail as a character, but I do find the cross over stories a little less enjoyable. It’s less fun if you’re not up to date with JL
