5.0 out of 5 stars some of Simone's best work
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2019

Following her battles with Genocide and Ares, Diana has some cleaning up to do. Gail Simone proves she understands exactly what makes Wonder Woman such a good character with these arcs.

First, she has to deal with Dr. Psycho's escape. What remains of the department of metahuman affairs has traced to an underground fighting arena in Japan. Not being familiar with this scene, she gets Black Canary to show her the ropes. The two's friendship makes for some great comedy.

Next, there's Zeus's new amazons to deal with. Zeus is urging his new Amazons to rid the world of war, and the former captain of Hippolyta's guard is manipulating them for her own ends. This arc has some great political machinations to follow, and set the stage for Simone's final arc in the next volume. Can't wait.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Entry into One of My Favorite Wonder Woman runs

Warkiller is the third collection in Gail Simone's run on the character. It mainly deals with Wonder Woman cast out from her own tribe, attempting to stop a potential war between Themyscira and the outside world.

The trade consists of two smaller stories. The first is about Wonder Woman teaming up with Black Canary to investigate an underground metahuman bloodsporting ring. This story is okay, but Wonder Woman and Black Canary engaging in stereotypical "girl talk" gets a little tired at times. Just because she's the foremost female superhero doesn't mean she has to fall into gender cliches.

The second story, though, is much more sophisticated, capping off the storyline that has run since the beginning of Simone's run, with the misguided "Circle" plotting against Diana, Archilles being awarded control over Paradise Island by Zeus, and a familiar foe directing events from the background.

In a character that often lacks direction or a definitive identity, Gail Simone's work remains one of the tightest and most interesting takes on the character. I'd recommend this, as well as the rest of her run, to any Wonder Woman fan.

Having Dinah in this volume shows Diana in an interesting and refreshing light, interacting with someone who's a friend and who can, to some extent, understand her. Not only was it amusing, it added depth to her character. For a similar reason, it was nice to see Wonder Woman interact with Giganta. The beauty of this comic is in its characters and the way they appeal to basic human emotions and desires.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but unspectacular.
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2010
Gail Simone came on "Wonder Woman" after a time of considerable trauma in the character's mythos. The stories containedin "Warkiller", from issues #34-39 of the ongoing "Wonder Woman" comic, represent the culmination of many of the plot points of the first two years that she has spent on the title. Much like the story that preceded it, "Rise of the Olympian", "Warkiller" proper is a mix of good ideas and erratic execution. Some spoilers follow.

After the finale of "Rise", Simone gives a two-issue story where Diana teams up with Black Canary. These two have notionally been very close friends for decades, but this is the first actual story where they spend any real time together. Simone is, of course, an old hand with Canary from "Birds of Prey", and writes the two of them engagingly. The plot is decent, and introduces an interesting element in Pele, the daughter of the slain god Kane Miohai. There is also a new wrinkle in Diana's powers.

With this done, Simone returns to the main plot: the new order on Themyscira, where Achilles and his Gargareans are nervously settling in and trying to make the best of Zeus' commands. Alkyone and the Circle are still scheming, and Achilles unwittingly grants them a major opportunity when he selects Alkyone to be his queen, as a gesture to the Amazons. Ares' hand continues to play out, and Diana, initially aimless, is drawn back into the fray. There are numerous good ideas and dramatic situations here, but it never really comes together into something satisfying. Too much of what Alkyone accomplishes she does only because others act in bizarre ways (such as the aforementioned marriage, or letting her have free rein even when he no longer trusts her). And Achilles and the Gargareans, introduced with a lot of fanfare, continue to be pathetic. A battalion of Prince Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry could take them.

All of this is well-illustrated by rotating artists Aaron Lopresti and Bernard Chang, who have been working on this title a while now and are at home here. They convey Diana's world in a convincing and beautiful manner.

This book continues to frustrate me a bit, because Simone's Diana is a great character, and all of the ingredients are here, but the mix is never fully satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to the run
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2010
This book follows off of the epic Rise of the Olympians, and while it doesn't reach the same heights, it is none the less enjoyable throughout.

We start out with Diana and Black Canary hitting an underground supers fighting circuit in search of info, and these two issues are a lot of fun. We don't see the supers underbelly of DC that often, and seeing two pros step into it made for a fun time. They never lose track of the plot, but it's still just really fun to see them kick tail for the enjoyment of it.

Then we move to the titular Warkiller arc, which follows the Achilles' plot from Rise of the Olympians as well as The Circle from the first trade in Gail's run. Achilles has been granted the rulership of Themyscira by Zeus, a situation that the the Circle, a quartet of amazons who want Diana dead and possess the soul of Genocide, are quick to take advantage of, using Achilles' lack of familiarity with the tribe to put both Diana and her mother in tight spots. The tension is high, not only for Wonder Woman, but Achilles, who's torn between his loyalty to Zeus and trying to make things right.

Gail's Wonder Woman is as ever spot-on, and Achilles is an enjoyable character as well.

Out of Gail's books, I'd give this a 4/5 stars, it's not quite as good as The Circle or Rise of the Olympians, but I liked it more than Ends of the Earth. Compared to an average superhero comic, though? Easy 5. Simone continues to deliver one of Wonder Woman's best runs, rivaled perhaps only by Rucka's in recent memory.
