Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor Special #1

Tim Seeley nails the dynamic between Steve and Diana, bringing a bit of fun to a relationship with some secrets. Christian Duce's artwork coaxes the reader into empathizing with the characters. Read Full Review

Christian Duce's pencils are perfectly suited for bringing Seeley's script to life. Duce's artwork is crisp and detailed, perfect for all the action presented this issue. Unfortunately, all of Duce's characters have similarly drawn faces. This especially becomes obvious in the scenes involving the children, but even the Oddfellows outside of Steve look a little too interchangeable. Read Full Review

As with most stories like these, its all a contrivance for Seeley to tell us who he thinks Steve Trevor is, and in the final analysis, its that Trevor is a man whos been made irreversibly aware of the impact that his gender has on the world around him and as a result has to re-evaluate the parts of him hes encouraged the most to disregard. The Steve Trevor we meet in this comic isnt woke, hes learning a new sense of awareness, and if there were ever a reason to read a comic about Steve Trevor, appreciating the nuances of a portrayal like that is about as good of one you could ask for.

On the whole, it's entertaining at times and looks good, but at the end of the day Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor Special #1 simply isn't special enough. Read Full Review

A fun one-shot for fans of the movie and a nice Rebirth of sorts for Steve Trevor. Hopefully, this leads to more from these characters! Read Full Review

Seeley gives all members of the team time to shine and let off a few laughs, but is able to keep the story on track for a somewhat serious finale. I don't think the world is clamoring for a "Steve Rogers and his Howling Commandos" series but if their appearances in the main title (or in a few more one shots) are anything like this I'm game.

This is a good issue that may not jive well with the regular run of Wonder Woman, but was a nice spotlight for Steve Trevor nonetheless. Christian Duce's art is great and while I don't care if we see Saturna or the Oddfellows again, I enjoyed my little visit with them this week. Read Full Review

It wasn't the best Steve Trevor story ever made, but this issue will be an effective bridge for potential new readers who have seen the Wonder Woman movie. With that said, I think this was entertaining enough for old readers to enjoy as well. This issue accomplishes what it set out to do. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor is a fun one-shot, but you could wait for it to show up in a trade paperback. Read Full Review

There might not be a lot here for more seasoned fans, but this is an effective and entertaining story that embraces its world, and that's not a bad thing. Read Full Review

While I applaud the Steve Trevor special for introducing the diverse group of characters seen in the new Wonder Woman movie to the comic books, it did little else productive. The opening scene with Wonder Woman was cringe-worthy at best, inappropriate at worst, and out-of-place no matter how you look at it. The movie does a much better job developing Charlie, Sameer, and Chief and I recommend watching that instead. Read Full Review

Anyone still wanting more after seeing the movie may want to pick this book up since this is a great jumping on point. Though the story has it's weak points, it's worth reading simply to see Charlie, Sameer and Chief again. Read Full Review

Overall the character's biggest weakness is how vanilla he can be, but you need aspects of that to keep everything else grounded. The book succeeds in showing why people trust him, but it doesn't necessarily succeed in showing why they love being around him. Read Full Review

Where the ongoing Wonder Woman series ranks among DC's better books these days, this one-shot feels generic by comparison. Read Full Review

Despite my criticism I didn't hate this issue. Wonder Woman: Steve Trevor #1 had its moments and I did learn more about Steve Trevor and really enjoyed Diana's moments, though they were brief. But when my favorite part of a book is a character who shows up on maybe five pages at most, that's not a very good sign. I found this title to be pretty mediocre and as a start to what may be a series, it didn't pull me in. Overall, if you want some good Steve Trevor action you may just be better off reading a regular issue of Wonder Woman instead. Read Full Review

The whole thing reads like some drunken fever dream of plot and dialogue that only casually matches up. It's a speed dating of two different books. Half of it is trying to be smart and witty, with children that live forever and some supernatural shit, and the other half is just bad DC writing with Trevor playing the straight man alongside awful villains.

It's not particularly great or anything. The main plot is pretty much disposable. But Steve's monologue at the end really took the character to another level for me.

This special was sort of pointless to me. I get that it is meant celebrate the movie, but it still had very little story to it, with no real emotional depth provided. Collect this if you are a Wonder Woman fan and want to support the movie and characters.

I'll be honest and say I picked this up because the relationship between Diana and Steve was so good in the WW movie and was riding on that high. I almost cried man tears when Trevor made the ultimate sacrifice and I'm convinced it definitely was for real, because if you think about it, the movie is a giant flashback and in the present Diana thanks Bruce for "bringing (Steve) back to her" by being able to locate the original photo and Steve's watch. So it feels like the last time Diana saw Steve was literally right before he jumps on that plane. The comic is take it or leave it... It's mostly about Steve, Diana is a sidenote.

We've all, inadvertently, given a little spoiler info when doing a review about a particular issue. Why spoil the movie, though?

It's ok, it's just that Steve Trevor is not that much of an interesting character on its own. The ending indicates that there will be a followup on this story, but I would not be disappointed if it wouldn't happen.
