Charming and delightful are the first two words that come to mind when it comes to Future State: Wonder Woman #1.

Jones and Bellaire's art is impeccable across the board but shines best in moments of fast-paced motion such as an early fight against a multi-headed beast. The energy of Yara's movement is conveyed with such grace and swagger, and this is to say nothing of the lush setting they strike up to situate the scene.
Some narration runs through the issue, with the earliest pieces of it providing some background on who this new Wonder Woman is, yet it's almost unnecessary considering how strong a sense of the character comes through in Yara's actions and words herself.
The briskness and head-strong determination that she demonstrates throughout drives Future State: Wonder Woman #1 and is more than enough to warrant getting on board in order to follow her and see where she ends up.
Make sure you've read ALL of the best Wonder Woman stories of all time.
