Rejecting uniformity
My first impression of this issue was that it was good not great, but then I stopped for a moment and thought about it. What was the story that this story is trying to tell? And I came to the conclusion that this is one of the most interesting Wonder Woman stories ever told. For anyone who doesn't appreciate Wonder Woman they think of her as a warrior and as the person that snapped Maxwell Lord's neck and thus not very interested in peace. This is, however, the exact opposite of what the character represents. In what could be seen as a critique of the aloof nature of Superman and Batman, Wonder Woman has decided to come to ground in more ways than one and fore go the Wonder Dome for contact with the human race. The Wonder Dome does not take this very well. Its sentience has become self-aware and it casts itself with no direction until it finds a group of being much like itself. This sort of goes against the background of the Lansinar technology but there is no reason to say that this is not where they got it from. In what I felt was an interesting comment on uniformity and conformity, the dome decides it cannot remain as a member of this group even though it experiences perfect harmony and the reason is that its work is not done and that its devotion to Diana and her cause is too great. The resolution of the device is not as it was, something providing protection and security to Diana, rather it fulfills her dream in a different way by becoming an institution of learning about peace. So often in comics writers just write out items or characters off panel and we never see what happens to them. As the end state of the invisible plane though which has been with Wonder Woman almost as long as she has existed, the result is finally something which Diana needed. Excellent issue, don't expect a lot of action, but the message is profound.
