Now, I can't draw my way out of a paper bag nor can I write an acclaimed series of stories to save my life. I have much respect for anyone who pursues a creative and artistic profession.
That being said, I found the artwork for this issue was not to my liking at all. The facial expressions, the poses, the perspectives and compositions were all off or awkward to me. I don't think Tom Derenick's style suits Wonder Woman at all. And it affected my reception of this issue.
As for the story side, this was a let down. As others have noted, the death of Aphrodite shouldn't mean love is dead for the entire world. It should deeply affect those who believe she is the embodiment of Love--the Amazons, the other Olympians, maybe even extended to Steve due to his connection with Diana. But the rest of the world running loveless and rampant is just odd.
The choice of showing the fight against Cheetah in flashbacks rather than real-time diminishes the intensity and import of it.
I gave this issue 2 stars.
