Meet your worse enemy
For a start I have to say that the cover made by the great Greg Horn is full of realism and dramatism with Wonder Woman fighting against Maxwell Lord. The white background helps to keep the eyes on them.
Womna Woman is following a trace of dead people by an unknown enemy running free in Washington D.C. During her investigation she has memories of the past like the death of her mother or when she killed Maxwell Lord. I wonder how long do we have to be remember her past? Not only in her series but in others.
Troopers of the National Guard tell her where Maxwell Lord has gone to Arlington and Wonder goes there just to find him sitted in the monument of the Unknown Soldier. She grabs her axe and cuts off his head, the guards keeping the monument don't even move, like they haven't noticed what's going on. When Wonder Woman is going to break Maxwell's head she realizas the body has a weapon and is going to shoot the guards, but a rain of black lantern rings fall from the sky to bring back to all those dead soldiers.
Wonder Woman faces them using her lasso of truth to make a ring of fire and destroy them all, Maxwell Lord included, but he's not dead. After destroying the soldiers she feels bad but she knows she had to do it.
I like the story is interesting, then edn with Maxwell's head talking even after the destruction makes it interesting, and gives a point of terror to the usual boring stories of Wonder Woman. You can see Greg Rucka's hand behind the story and Nicola Scott's art that is really good. And Nei Ruffino's colors give the final realism.
I recommend this story to all the Wonder Woman collectors because is interesting, for the art and because is the first time the I see Wonder Woman finishing one of her adventures without help, something unusual.
