From the cover to the last page, this was a superb issue. A proverbial wet dream for fans of The Fourth World. And who knew it would happen in the pages of Wonder Woman?! Similar to Azzarello’s Orion, the updated vision of New Genesis is inspired and original, while simultaneously remaining true to the original. As soon as they walked through that Boom Tube, I wanted to go right back.

Chiang’s artwork in this issue was the cleanest and most pristine it’s been in a while, reminding us again of why he is so celebrated whenever he manages to squeeze out a full issue. Wilson also deserves credit for coloring New Genesis and its inhabitants in such a way that it makes you believe its everything the Highfather claims it is.

Azzarello continues to knock it out of the park with every new issue. The only crime present here is that this title stands so grievously apart from the rest of the DCU, in both story and quality of storytelling.
