I appreciate the ambition of this story, particularly the tone and art changes as Diana, Siggy, and Ratatoskr explore the different worlds on the hunt for Janus' future half. However, it didn't all come together, and in some parts, this long story dragged or leaned so heavily into the mythology that you were expected to fill in the background.

Hanging a lampshade on Earth-11's binary gender swaps didn't do it for me. I really wish cis feminist writers would leave these stories in the past.

Diana's voice and viewpoint weren't quite there. I did like what the writers did around discussions of wisdom and how we need both our past and our future.

I did enjoy Siggy as her hunky himbo, and yay for Diana having sex and it being just normal.

Overall, it was a middle-of-the-road Wonder Woman story.
