Wonder Woman #10 brings the Woman of Wonders capture at the hands of the Sovereign to a close with an explosive battle on a deserted island against Cheetah.
Is Wonder Woman #10 Good?
“Huh? How does a fight against Cheetah resolve the conflict with Sovereign” you might wonder. Don’t worry. We’ll get to that, but just know that if you’re still a Tom King fan after this issue, you deserve every ounce of mockery you get.
When last we left Diana in Wonder Woman #9, Diana spent nearly the entire issue flitting from one hallucinogenic scene to the next with her imagined version of Steve Trevor. Why? To escape the mental anguish of being held in isolated captivity by the Sovereign. She may have also eaten one or two rats in her cell.
In Wonder Woman #10, the issue clearly labeled as the FINALE, the ever-chatty Sovereign narrates how all his efforts to break Wonder Woman had failed… but for one. In a desperate act designed to bring Wonder Woman to heel, the Sovereign maroons our hero on a deserted island with one other inhabitant – Barbara Minerva aka Cheetah.
Why would Sovereign do this? Unknown.
The battle rages over days as Cheetah and Wonder Woman kick, punch, slash, and beat each other to a stalemate. Eventually, their battle concludes when Cheetah gets the upper hand, but Diana professes her undying hope to save Cheetah from herself because she loves her.
Does that mean Wonder Woman and Cheetah are “more than friends?” Unknown. King intentionally obscures the nature of their love, presumably to get online pundit tongues wagging, but you could interrupt that love as platonic, sisterly, or romantic.
Diana’s expression of love inspires a reversal in the Cheetah’s aggression. She drags Diana to a campfire until she comes out of her unconsciousness, and the two chat like civilized people. Through the conversation, we get the hint or suggestion that Diana allowed herself to be captured by the Sovereign so that she could find and rescue Cheetah from the deserted island.
Meanwhile, Cassie, Yara, and Donna engage in comedic hijinks as they try to fly the invisible jet to get to the deserted island to rescue Diana. Apparently, a jet that’s invisible on the outside also means the jet is invisible on the inside. Shenanigans ensue.
