Wonder Woman: Agent of Peace, Vol. 2 Reviews

An ok book. I have to say I did not enjoy this volume as much as the first. Same sort of format twelve short stories of Wonder Woman by various different writers and artists.
There were a couple of stories I liked but these all tended to be more Diana as an ambassador than a warrior or and agent. The stories I did like were against Lex and Black Manta. The rest were ok, just not great for me.
The theme of the book seems to be how Diana inspires and brings out the best in her friends, allies and on more than one occasion her enemies as well. I can say any of these would be my favorite Wonder Woman story but they were okay. -
Lots of fun, even if the villains and sidekicks were a bit more obscure this time, and one or two stories grimply preachy. The artwork is still nicely diverse and not uniform - only in compilations like these can we really compare one artists representation of Diana directly to another.

The second half of a collection of digital stories showing Wonder Woman relying on her diplomatic skills in addition to her fighting prowess. I found it very entertaining; just like the last collection. They saved the best story for last - Wonder Woman and Cheetah teaming up to take down a group of poachers. I am always enthusiastic when Diana holds out her hand in friendship to Cheetah, even if she doesn't always accept it. Cheetah was able to meet Diana halfway here. I still hold out optimism that Cheetah can turn a new leaf and become an anti-hero. I like to think it is only a matter of time. It still depends on whether or not Wonder Woman's writers will be willing to risk such a paradigm shift in Dr. Minerva's animalistic nature. Here's to hoping.

Twelve short comics starring Wonder Woman. Like all such collections, the quality varies, and with so many people writing about the same character, there's some repetition in tone. A lot of the stories blended together because they're very similar. For me, the best stories were the ones with Luthor and Cheetah. The Luthor story keeps him off balance most of the time, which is fun. The Cheetah one is built around the idea of the character as ecoterrorist. It's a new angle, at least for me, and I liked how it fit on her. Sure, it's kind of similar to Poison Ivy's deal, but animals could use their own Ivy. Overall, I'd say most of the stories are at least decent, though they probably shouldn't be read in one sitting.

Some of these stories could have been really good.
One comic is just not enough space to tell a worthwhile story. It's all potential, like 'what would happen if you expanded this and this out', or 'and thennnn...'
Definitely done with Agent of Peace. The artwork is great. It's what I want all comics to look like. -
loved this collection

Sometimes it is quite refreshing to step back from ongoing story-lines for some short stories that don't demand continuity.

3.5 This really made me want a Cheetah/Poison Ivy team-up. Do your thing, comic gods.
