The Comic
This comic is all set up for the big payoff of the next issue. Really, that's all it is. Wonder Woman is set up for her wedding and the cliffhanger gives you an idea of what is going to be the payoff.

The Art
Akins is back as a guest artist. I would say that his tone this time is to mimic what Cliff Chang has done for the book, but his style is a little more cartoony at times. It was OK on its own merits.

The Cover
We have another cover that gives you the big cliffhanger of an ending as the first thing you see about the issue. Seriously, whose idea is it to do that? That just takes away from the end.

What would have worked better? Put the picture of Wonder Woman in her bridal dress on the cover in some intimate detail with the words "bride to be" or something corny that is put on other books.
