Tom King’s Wonder Woman Vol. 4: The Island of Mice and Men is a seven-part epic among a nine-issue collection, yet another masterpiece from King.

Knowing that King has his fans but also his detractors,¹ I wonder if that word “masterpiece” seems overblown. I recently read Jeremy Adams' Green Lantern Vol. 5: Fractured Spectrum and I thought it was excellent, fast-paced and putting unlikely characters in unexpected situations. But it did not offer the same all-encompassing world-building that King accomplishes here in a relatively small space; it did not feel as urgently of-the-societal-moment as King’s story (perhaps unfortunately) does; and that Green Lantern book was not controversial like this Wonder Woman volume is — controversial in the sense that good guy Diana here is not always right, I didn’t always agree with her choices, and I don’t even think King means for the audience to always agree with her choices.
