We've seen the beginnings of Atlantis's war with the surface. Now witness the origins of the Atlantis-Themyscira War in the pages of Wonder Woman and the Furies #1. Love lost, treason, deception, and murder. This issue has everything and a Kraken too!
If you don't read Flashpoint in the order DC listed all of the tie-ins in the pages of Flashpoint #1 and #2, you'll be doing yourself a disservice. There are some many cliffhangers, crossovers, and shocking reveals that require reading everything in order for maximum effect. I've been doing pretty good job of that myself, with exception of a couple of mix-ups, and I must say that doing so has really blown me away with the level of quality and excitement in every book.
Up until this point, this issue is perhaps my favorite of the bunch. The storytelling of Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett was spectacular. But really what did it for me was the artwork. Scott Clark's (Batman Incorporated) mix of CGI imagery of the landmarks of Altantis and Themyscira and swift pencil strokes crafting younger versions of Wonder Woman and Aquaman were stunning. And look this the cover by Ed Benes (Batgirl)! The level of detail put into the ruins of London are breathtaking.
Excellent Stuff!
