A quick and enjoyable read. As much as I like seeing the new and short world version I am not a fan of how easily Arthur and Diana are played and that this collection has a lot of characters other than wonder woman even though this is supposed to be her story in flashpoint.

I will call it false advertising since this insalment is only one third about Wonder Woman, and eventhough it was nice to learn more about some less known heroes of the DC universe it was still disappointing....
It was hectic and the reading experience was not very fluent.
Parts that intrigued me were short and then there was a sharp turn into some other plot twist - it was all too fast for my liking.

The whole idea of the flashpoint series is something I really love, this was not my favourite but I really enjoyed it still

These were very enjoyable story arcs and crucial for understanding what happens in the larger Flashpoint story.

The World of Flashpoint featuring Wonder Woman: I thought this book would give a glimpse of the initial stages of War and related to it. But I was taken for a roller coaster ride.
If only the Authors could have stopped with Wonder Woman and Aqua man it would have been better and they could have released a separate TBP for Resistance and The Outsider where both had an important role to play in the whole Flashpoint Paradox.
Seems that they had other plans. Although the story and the pace were good to an extent it was tiring to read and see the same few incidents repeating often. Otherwise, this is a decent read.

Brilliant to get more insight on the world of Flashpoint and its war. I'd recommend reading the issues in the order they were published (and not series by series as I did), it's probably more enjoyable that way (not that I didn't enjoy it!).
Emperor Aquaman: Not my favourite of the bunch but quite nice, even knowing next to nothing about Aquaman(I'm wondering if they'll eventually start drawing him as Jason Momoa?). It was interesting to see more of the war and what surrounds it.
Outsider was the one I liked the least, not because I had no clue who the character was (wikipedia-d him later, found at least one of the iterations to be really interesting), the story was built so you'd understand what was going on no matter what, but because said story simply didn't catch my attention. He might be a fascinating character, but it's difficult to judge in three issues. And he seemed completely disconnected from the war thing (though in retrospect he wasn't) so that might be another reason.
Lois Lane and the Resistance: now that was really cool. Great to see Lois kick ass in her very own way, and to get a better sense of that side of the Flashpoint world! The ending was great too.
Wonder-Woman and the Furies: really great too, I finally got a better sense of the whole conflict and what happened "behind the scenes", so to speak. Diana was brilliant, even when misguided. Really liked it.
I'm getting used to the style of art as well, so that's always good :) Bring on the next round of Flashpoint books!
