I liked parts of this issue today but overall felt muddled and bit of a step down from some the previous ones. Cheetah, Silver Swan, and Giganta appear but they're just illusions conjured by a character called Phobia (a Titans villain apparently). I try not to get too up an arms when they don't feature WW villains but this seemed particularly egregious when they're could have been a Duke of Deception or Phobos appearance.
Next issue features Cheetah so hopefully a high note to end on before Sensational starts up.

I found the issue downright insulting. Yet ANOTHER non-Wonder Woman villain? It doesn't help that we [I]just[/I] had an 11-issue story arc of psychic villains fighting Wonder Woman who wishes to redeem them.
That said, I've always liked Phobia so at least they chose a villain that isn't often used (like Deathstroke, Black Manta, or Lex Luthor before her). And I am always a sucker for WW redeeming her villains. So while it's disappointing to think you're getting a story featuring some of her major foes and then, well, not, at least it was a decent story.

The ending with Diana taking her to group therapy was one of the stronger parts of the issue, reminded me a bit of Orlando's Mayfly issue.

Decent issue today, though had kind of a PSA-feel to it. There was also some good use of Diana's animal communication powers. Cheetah appeared in it (closer to her pre-Rebirth version) so at least this series ends on a stronger note than how it began with Harley.
On to Sensational next week.

I bought this week's issue & last week's due to the appearances by Cheetah, Giganta, & the Silver Swan. I'll probably read them later this week. Glad to see some actual Wonder-rogues get some page time.

Dr. Psycho seems to be the villain of the first story for the next digital series so hopefully the trend continues.

It wasn't awful, but I have a hard time believing Cheetah would care about the plight of animals. She also looked way too much like Tigra.

Yeah, kind why I felt it had kind of a PSA-feel to it.
Not sure what was going off with the black bikini look also. :p

Fingers crossed! :)

Is Tigra taking a vacation in the DCU again? Cause that sure as hell wasn't Cheetah.
