- The art was really cool. The character art was a teensy bit inconsistent and tended to be quite blocky (at points characters look like Lego bricks lol), but the panel composition was outstanding throughout
- I liked that the story leant into the Greek mythology, it was a bit convoluted at times, but very cool nonetheless
- Steve was heckin cute
- Diana is so endearing and lovable. She's kind of what I wish wonder woman was more often, focused on her goals and doing what is right rather than being portrayed as overly badass

A solid wonder woman entry, highly recommend!
