Orlando's done great work on this title before, so one volume in to Wilson's run and this already feels like placeholder. I'm hoping for better coming up, but also I know Steve Orlando's already scheduled to replace Wilson. In the middle, Wilson tries to do some world-building, but for me the first story hadn't drawn the reader far enough in to make the middle story work. The final story, "The Grudge," shows more promise, but this feels like largely the cache of Wilson using other writers' notable characters than the writing itself. Wilson ventures into familiar, ambitious territory with "Just War" proper, the kind of thing a Wonder Woman writer shouldn't try unless guaranteed success, and here Wilson doesn't quite make it. 1: The Just War ends better than it begins, but this is still a halting start to the writer's run.
