* AssPull: [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/NewGods Granny Goodness]]]] as the mastermind. Not only was this reveal not given ''any'' buildup in the book, it wasn't even properly explained in ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' OR [[spoiler:''Death Of The New Gods'']]!
* FanonDiscontinuity: To many Wondy fans, thanks to how the story derailed the Amazons. Considering the LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain attitude by characters long afterward, it may be CanonDiscontinuity as well.
* HarsherInHindsight
** In Wonder Woman vol. 3 #14, a character echoes most of the fandom's sentiments by saying "The last thing we want is ''Amazons Attack: The Sequel''". DC's ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'' crossover pretty much gave us ''Amazons Attack: The Sequel'' in the Amazon-Atlantian war. However, while the Amazon-Atlantian war did have some more similarities to A.A. ([[spoiler:both sides were manipulated by traitors within their ranks]]), much more care was put into the plot and it was better received - it wasn't all about {{Straw Feminist}}s killing men for being men while being under control that could've been easily broken, at least.
** In spite of Diana's best efforts, "Amazons Attack: The Sequel" does come to pass in Comicbook/WonderWoman2023 during ''Comicbook/DawnOfDC''. While initially presented as a remake, Sergeant Steel states his reasons for disliking Wonder Woman was not doing enough the first time Amazons invaded the US, and since there is nothing like that in the Rebirth-Infinite Frontier-Dawn Of line one can only assume he's referring to ''this'' event, somehow. If anything, is getting criticism for copying the original too much[[note]]because of Diana becoming a HeroWithBadPublicity, the United States forcefully deports all Amazons in U.S. soil (and kills them when they don't come quietly) and cordons off Paradise Island[[/note]].
* HilariousInHindsight: This ultimately wouldn't be [[WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls the last DC story]] to have a twist involving [[spoiler:Granny Goodness being the main villain]], though it made far more sense there than it did here.
* MemeticMutation: The page quote is so stupid that [[NarmCharm it's awesome]].
-->'''Batman''': Bees. My god.
* MoralEventHorizon: The first pages of the book, where two Amazons slaughter a man and his young son while they're looking at the Lincoln Memorial and discussing what UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln stood for -- and then one Amazon asks the other about the statue. "Just a ''[[StrawFeminist man]]''." And this is the EstablishingCharacterMoment for the invasion. It went FromBadToWorse from there. Much worse.
* {{Narm}}: The BigBad [[spoiler:being ''Granny Goodness'' [[UnexpectedCharacter of all people]]]] comes so far out of nowhere that some readers actually find it hilarious.
* SignatureScene:
** The scene where Batman acts incredulous at the idea of the Amazons using venomous bees as one of their weapons.
** The [[AssPull sudden reveal]] that [[spoiler:Granny Goodness is [[HijackedByGanon behind the whole fiasco.]]]]
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Fans were actually excited about the prospect of the Amazons and the United States coming to blows, especially since the project originated as an aborted prelude to ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. Things went downhill fast in large part due to the execution being almost completely nonsensical, [[{{Flanderization}} flanderizing]] the Amazons as {{Straw Feminist}}s with flimsy-to-nonexistent reasoning for war, making Wonder Woman herself an almost-complete non-agent in her own story, and overall being [[KudzuPlot a mess of various incomplete subplots and motivations that don't cohere at all]].
