- Awesome Art: The art is heartbreakingly and viscerally beautiful at making Diana look small, be it in a post-apocalyptic world reduced to barbarianism or the haunting sanctuary of Themyscira.
- Nightmare Fuel:
- The state Cheetah is left in due to the experiments done on her. Her body is much more muscular, a cheetah's head has replaced her right hand and the right side of her face has a maw full of sharp teeth.
- Issue #3, where Diana remembers how the world ended. She went completely berserk when Themiscyra was struck by a nuke. A nuke Superman redirected to protect Smallville from the world's genocide of the Amazons. When she found out what happened, she was consumed by murderous fury and attacked him. During that fight, she stopped being Diana and in her place was a savage, screaming beast with glowing blue eyes. In that state, Diana beat Clark to death with her bare hands and a shard of Kryptonite, devastating the planet with the collateral damage of their fight.
- Squick:
- Hippolyta post-mutation. From the waist up, she seems fine... from the waist down, she's a giant fly-like monster with its own head, and she's also the largest of the Haedras.
- At the end of Issue #3, Diana rips out Clark's spine from his corpse to shell her Lasso of Truth.
- Unintentionally Unsympathetic: While Hippolyta is shown to be a monster both figuratively and literally, the story still tries to paint her as something of a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds Tragic Monster type. Problem is that Hippolyta is the one most responsible for everything bad that happens to everyone and herself. While the story is vague on the details, the implication is that due to global warming beginning to flood lower parts of Themiscyra, Hippolyta and the other amazons demanded that the human race submit to their leadership and forced course correction and when they refused, the amazons began an invasion so devastating that even Superman was having trouble holding it back. The invasion was so destructive that the military decided that the only way to stop it was by nuking the amazons. Countless years later, Hippolyta is still completely unwilling to recognize her own role in the destruction of her own people (in fact it doesn't even seem to register that she's done anything wrong) and no one calls her out on it. And on top of that, it was her putting Zeus' blood into Diana (despite the implication that Zeus raped her) that made Diana too powerful and unable to control her emotions without her limiters leading to her beating Superman to death in a battle so destructive that it literally burned entire swaths of the world with nuclear fire. All things being considered, the reader will probably have long since stopped caring about her plight by the time the book is over.
