Finished reading Superman/Wonder Woman: Casualties of War, this begins writer Peter J. Tomasi's run on the series as the two heroes come into conflict with a villain who blames them for not being able to save their own family when Darksied's attacked five years prior. The book opens up with a flashback to the first meeting between Superman and Wonder Woman during Darksied's attack. While in the present Clark Kent is finishing writing up a piece for one of the many people who were lost during the Crime Syndicates invasion in Forever Evil as Diana rushes him along so they don't run late for their date. While in New York Clark and Diana feel a large tremor coming from a local nuclear power plant where Atomic Skull and Major Disaster are attacking the place which leads to the appearance of a new superhuman calling himself Wonderstar who captures the villains as they try to flee from Superman and Wonder Woman. After another team up with Wonderstar, Superman and Wonder Woman discover Wonderstar's true motive as he revels himself as Magog who was given his powers by the Greek sorceress Circe. Overall this was a good book as it continues to further develop the relationship between Superman and Wonder Woman especially for Diana as she gains a lot of character development within the book that helps to strengthen her relationship with Clark. Magog's origin and motivation is incredibly interesting as he blames Superman and Wonder Woman for not being able to save his family from the army of Parademons that attacked Earth. While Circe's inclusion into the book is very intriguing with how her hatred for Wonder Woman's mother fuels her motivation in trying to get back at Hippolita through Diana. The art work is great as the fight scenes are choreographed extremely well. While the design of Circe's monsterous Ani-Men is great as they all have a werebeast look to them. 7.5/10.
