Great issue. Batman of course is the man taking charge and making sure Diana is on the right side. Hippolyta is really a bitch in this issue and her Amazons are very violent. Example arrow through the neck of one air pilot. This issue ties into Wonder Woman very well and the Justice League just made this issue cooler. I am still anti Nemesis and I hope he dies at the end of the issue. The cliff hanger with the Amazons setting fire to Kansas was great. The Amazons are the freaking bomb. The art is great so I give this issue 2 thumbs up.

Overlooking the confusion wherever a shapeshifter fits into any story, the actual invasion aspect of this is moving along nicely. The Amazons hit the shores of the US in Issue 1 and begin their brutal attack on the historic monuments of the US including live people. Issue 2 is actually even better than #1.
Black Canary, Batman, Green Lantern, and many other classics from JLU enter the scene for search & rescue only at this point. They're waiting to see where Diana fits into the picture. But surprisingly to me (since I haven't been getting Countdown), it's not Diana that stars in this issue, it's Donna Troy. Diana comes in finally and clarifies her intentions to Batman and I swear I made an audible "awwww" when reading it.
Great artwork inside and out. Better writing than Wonder Woman but they go hand in hand. I am enjoying the WW series a lot too but this issue just really proved that it's better.

Like Marvel's Civil War, this book presumes that DC's shipping will be constant. Unfortunately, there's one (what I feel is a) MAJOR event that takes place in a book that's proven to NEVER be on time (Wonder Woman) that's spoiled in this issue.
Pfeifer's writing isn't bad. As I mentioned above, he refers to events that have not yet happened (another instance being the whole "Sarge Steel" dupe thing). However, Pete Woods' art is fantastic. I've been impressed with him for a while now, and his art continues to get stronger with every issue.
In light of the cliffhanging final page, I'm hoping that DC's shipping schedule straightens itself out in time.
