Reviews

[Nicholas Perez]

The next installment of Yara's story wonderfully incorporates the Brazilian myth of Iara, her namesake. Not sure how I feel about Eros showing up at the end, but I'm interested.

[Corrie]

After reading Joëlle Jones’ Future State Wonder Woman I continue with the spin-off series of Wondergirl (7 issues), where Jones introduces her officially into the DC Universe.

In Homecoming Part Two: Yara receives a sacred gift from the river Goddess Iara and is ready to be on her way to greatness. Little does she know, another pantheons have been watching her as well. In part two she has Artemis, Wondergirl, Eros and even some of the Amazons after her.

Themes: Brazil, a merry chase.

An okay issue. I'm interested in reading further, but so far I'm not as hooked.

[Sarah]

Nowhere near as good as the first issue, but I'm invested now so I'll keep reading.

!!! This series continues with its strong start!! I'm loving Yara as a character, the fact that they are really using so much mythology for this story, the way all these little different pieces are building up to make a bigger picture for the story, and the inclusion of some many great (and underused) characters! I'm so freaking excited that Cassie Sandsmark/Wonder Girl is going to be part of this book! I was fearful she was going to disappear into the DC comics vault again after the ending of Young Justice. I adore her and I'm so happy she is being utilized. Also! Artemis!

[James DeSantis]

Pretty awesome issue! Wonder girls everywhere. Nice fights. A bit jarring to change from different characters but keeps it exciting.

[Katie]

This issue was even more action than the first

LoVED the scene with Iara

very excited to see more!!!!!!!!

[Marine]

The story is cool but lot as cool as the pride variant cover

[Kastie Pavlik]

The opening art is gorgeous! A few pages of fight panels detracted from an otherwise great story. I really like the marrying of Greek and Brazilian mythology.

[Casey Anderson]

The first section of this was absolutely beautiful. I loved that story and character. The rest very good as well.
