(Wonder) War is over?
I don’t know if this has been posted or not, so I apologize if it’s come up already. I use the Amazon app to keep track of the trades I want and when they come out before making my Wednesday trek to my LCBS. I haven’t bought a main WW trade since Fury but I’ve still kept track for my longshot hope the run turns it around and/or to let friends/family buy them for me, for the Sampere art if nothing else at this point.
On a whim, I searched “Wonder Woman by Tom King, Vol. 6” (since I knew Vol. 5 will be Wonder War: Act I) and sure enough, this popped up. I know they weren’t a lot of people’s favorite issues, but I’m glad to see the Batman issues getting collected in a trade. Still weird to me they held them this long.
And this is how I found out that I guess we’re four issues away from The Wonder War being over. I would say I’m surprised that it’s not longer, but I think this means we’re four issues away from the end of King’s run too, for which it’s felt like the writing’s been on the wall for a bit now. Do not take this post as confirmation; I’m just speculating. I don’t even know where King would go after this arc (if he even wanted to keep going anymore.) Plus, ending in December would mean a new writer for the new year, which feels apt.
