SUMMARY:
Entitled “Nine Days,” DC Comics released this issue for November 2015. One week before Christmas, the U.S. State Department calls upon Diana, as Themyscira’s neutral ambassador, to mediate a dispute overseas between two rival countries.
Over nine days, she must concoct a treaty between the feuding San Egnatio and People’s Republic of Morota, especially when oil rights found along their shared border come into play. Further complicating Wonder Woman’s efforts are the younger and older versions of the conflicted goddess, Eris/Strife, egging on both sides. What ethical means must Diana sacrifice to justify an end result ensuring lasting peace?
REVIEW:
Though the premise is intriguing, the dry storytelling likely means a single read. The art squad’s visuals are more than sufficient, but they don’t add extra substance to make this story more entertaining. While Sensation Comics # 14 should appeal to contemporary Wonder Woman fans, it won’t likely leave any lasting impressions.
