The World of Flashpoint Featuring Wonder Woman by Tony Bedard
4.0
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!
