As an illustrator, Daniel Warren Johnson’s art is instantly recognizable thanks to his extremely kinetic sense of action and scratchy characters. Everything is in constant motion and every character feels wounded and ragged, even when nothing has happened to them. In Johnson’s hands, each person is seen through a different lens of beauty that removes any sexualization and instead creates a vulnerable humanity. Johnston, Rich (July 18, 2019).

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth was dead boring and dead stupid. The post-apocalyptic vision Daniel Warren Johnson presents is ridiculous - apparently in his dystopian future, humans live in a medieval-type society wearing knight armour, while spending their leisure time in Roman-esque coliseums, and there’s also some jeeps?! It doesn’t make sense. When Diana awakens from a centuries-long sleep, she discovers Earth has been reduced to a nuclear wasteland. Now she's marooned in a dark and dangerous future, protecting the last human city from titanic monsters and struggling to uncover the secret of this dead Earth…and how she may be responsible for it. Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is a grim and horrifying post-apocalyptic tale with a hero searching for hope and opportunities for redemption.

Because in some ways this is that famous Mad Max movie, just replacing Max with Diana. Sure, that is an over simplification of the story-line. It is an accurate description of how I felt by the end of the tale (note: I liked Fury Road). Dead Earth” is human emotions and global fears rendered on an extreme scale. This has all been the story of what it means when you realize how terrible the world can be and your own capacity for destruction and how you decide to move on from that. Due to the Dead: After bearing witness to Diana's failed attempt at peacefully stopping her mother and her resorting to killing her "sisters", the humans put the Haedras to proper rest in graves.

Then there's a bunch of spoiler stuff later into the book which... fits the world, doesn't fit the characters. That's my biggest gripe. If you can put aside this being a "Wonder Woman" book and isntead just read this as a post-apocalyptic book, it's pretty neat. There are giant monsters that DWJ pencils incredibly, with distorted bodies and and giant claws and some gorgeous colours courtesy of Mike Spicer. But as the series goes on it leans heavier and heavier on DC characters, and that takes me right out of it. Diana is woken from suspended animation to find a destroyed world. No spoilers, but part of her journey is discovering what caused the destruction and the agents behind the even more death and destruction in a devastated world. I loved Daniel Warren Johnson's Murder Falcon, so I had high hopes for this. In the end it felt like some regular post-apocalyptic stuff but this time it had Wonder Woman's name on it, and that made it lesser. I always hate when the first thing that happens in some sci-fi/fantasy setting is female characters being abused, and boy oh boy that was certainly the first issue. Diana ends up hostage to the first man in the book and he is going to force her to be his "wife". She meets another character who implies a lot of abuse at his hands. I wish writers would leave this trope behind but hey if you're a man writing a 'dark' book you're obligated to do that, I guess.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth (2020—2020) - DC Database

While Batman may have been enraged by her actions and wished for nothing more than to get his revenge, he still made sure to do the right thing and help protect her. This gives humanity a champion to protect them in the future, helping ensure their survival. In a way, Batman's choice to get over his own sense of vengeance helps ensure the survival of this world, even if he didn't get to see it. But it's also a decidedly tragic end for Batman, the ultimate defeat of the Dark Knight who could conquer any threat, with Batman just accepting his death and letting it come for him as he looked over the ruins of the city he protected.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth (Comic Book) - TV Tropes

In March 2020, following the success of Batman: White Knight (2017–2018) and Batman: Curse of the White Knight (2019–2020), both comics created by Sean Murphy, it was reported that DC was interested in creating a mini-imprint centered around Murphy's works. [59] Referred to as the "Murphyverse", the imprint intends to feature limited series set in the shared universe first established in the White Knight series. [60] The main line titles in this universe have been written and drawn by Murphy himself, with spin-offs being written and drawn by other creators. Sequel Hook: In the final issue, Diana regains her full power and finds one of her gauntlets to keep her powers under control again. However, she needs to find the other one to activate the limiter, and she also vows to find her mother and make peace with her. Asi bych nemusel bejt prekvapenej, protoze sem od DWJ necetl nic spatnyho a Space Mullet, Extremity i Murder Falcon ode me dostali 5*, ale rikal sem si, ze u DC bude mit urcite svazany ruce a nebude to ono. A po precteni Dead Earth bych se ani nedivil, kdyby za nim editor v prubehu prisel a rekl mu, at naopak popusti uzdu jeho fantazii.This take on an angry, hurting, and volatile Wonder Woman is one I love in theory, but in execution, it feels weak. I don’t know if having a woman write this story would’ve solved the issues I have with it...but it definitely wouldn’t have hurt. Johnson gives a solid attempt at doing something unique, and he succeeds in that he capitalizes on his setting, but he fails in his attempts to weave meaningful thematics.

As mentioned before, Daniel Warren Johnson handles both writing and artistic duties on this book, with the aid of Mike Spicer’s coloring. Johnson’s art style isn’t necessarily what you would expect given the violent nature of the subject, and yet it fits perfectly. It has an almost children’s storybook illustrative quality to it, which matches with the mythical tone of the narrative. The main difference here being most children’s storybooks aren’t full of evisceration blood spouting from gaping wounds. The art is hopeful when it has to be, and incredibly dark when it’s called for. Mike Spicer’s colors have the quality of hand painted animation cels, and he goes a long way to capture the tone of any scene he’s helping set. The desert wastes are composed of browns and oranges, highlighted with vivid crimsons when the action gets particularly visceral. Later in the story these earth tones give way to deep blues and grays when Diana and a few other characters are at sea looking for Themyscira.DC Announces 'Suicide Squad: Get Joker!' by Brian Azzarello and Alex Maleev!"
