This was alright at best, very boring in my opinion. It doesn't even really deserve three stars, but two of them are just for the issue in the *slight spoiler possibly* Star Sapphire world . That whole issue was a nice break with gorgeous art and an entirely different color scheme with some hints of interesting back story that I don't know about. Would love to read more about that world.
I was actually so glad when the gods took Jason away, I thought oh thank goodness, and then remembered I was supposed to be sad lol. I hope I never see him again, or at least if I do that they make him in any way interesting.

Gotta be in the top worst runs of Wonder Woman, and I've read a lot of Wonder Woman.

The plot twists are increasingly less surprising.
Also, I didn't say this in past reviews, but I've been feeling that Diana isn't being well represented, it feels like her new motto is "punch first, think later".

Jenny Frissons covers are gorgeous. I liked the guest star of the Star Sapphires.
The Dark Gods appear because of Diana'a wish, however unintended it may be and wreck havoc worldwide, heck they even render the Justice League into comas of sorts. Jason finally becomes a hero, it felt like he was grown from when Diana meets him. Though I hope they get more time together.

Wonder Woman, Volume 8: Dark Gods follows the events of Dark Nights: Metal, and that means that things have gotten a fair bit darker in the world. How could it not, when every hero and heroine knows exactly what is aiming to break into the world they've sworn to protect?
New (and significantly less altruistic) gods keep appearing, and it seems like only Wonder Woman and her newly found brother, Jason, stand a chance at taking them down. Granted, doing so will almost certainly come at a price.
So, Wonder Woman, Volume 8: Dark Gods wasn't the best volume out there, I'll be the first to admit that. It also was far from the worst. It did an excellent job of being bright and flashy – both in subject matter and with artwork.
However, a lot of it simply felt...hollow. For lack of a better term. It didn't feel like the stakes were real, and the constant back and forth with Jason (is he alive? Is he dead? And back again) got so exhausting that I just couldn't bring myself to care.
Which actually makes me feel kind of bad, since this is the end of James Robinson's run on Wonder Woman. I feel like I should be appreciating that more than I am. On the bright side, the new gods were interesting, while they last. Sure, they were a bit over the top (there's literally a mob god that controls and creates mobs), but that sort of fits with the grand scheme of things, and how catastrophic things have gotten since Dark Nights: Metal was introduced.
All things considered, I'm feeling pretty neutral about Wonder Woman Volume 8. That being said, I'm looking forward to what is in store for Diana next (yes, I know I'm so painfully behind on her series, I'm working on fixing that!).

I suppose that it is the nature of the thing that a WW DC title has a possible world ending problem and then a surprising solution.
I was a bit disappointed by the end of the Jason storyline, plus the way that Steve was shoved to the side.
I still have hope though!
