Wonder Woman #14

Wonder Woman #14 is an astonishingly dense issue that somehow feels well paced and will go down as a top ten comic of the year. Read Full Review

Tom King took a long time before returning to in-continuity DC Comics, but he seems to be making up for lost time because this not only fits seamlessly into continuity, but seems destined to change Diana's character for the long haul. Kudos to both this brilliant creative team and DC for just letting them absolutely go for it. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #14 features both love and loss. The issue delivers a punch that leaves the reader dazed long after the book finishes. Read Full Review

This isnt the first time Steve Trevor has died. It might be the single best-framed death of Steve Trevor since the character first appeared back in 1942. All too often the death of Dianas love has come across as being tragically peripheral to the center of her life. Kings treatment of the event hits the page with great force. And naming Dianas daughter after Sarah Elizabeth Marston is a nice touch. King manages a few clever turns throughout the issue, but the overall plot structure from death to birth is deeply satisfying on a few different levels.  Read Full Review

OverallStorywise this is a bit disjointed in parts and perhaps relies a little to much on readers knowing about some of the more esoteric myths that are built into the Wonder Woman story. All that said. The book does eventually make sense of things and does leave things in such a way that it creates a new jumping on point for newer readers looking to check out the book.

Wonder Woman #14 beautifully articulates the birth of Trinity is formed by true love and loss. This is an issue of mourning and seeing how a hero grieves so that she may rise back up stronger than ever. Based on the final page, the loss of her love has only made her stronger. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman returns to its regularly scheduled storyline with a shock and a surprise, both of which make for a pretty emotional and exciting issue. Read Full Review

The story in Wonder Woman #14 drops the ball on every level of writing. The only saving grace is the artwork that even then can't avoid being brought down by the narrative decisions for the story direction. The only thing this issue succeeds in is making this the final issue of this Wonder Woman run I'll be reading. Thankfully we got Absolute Wonder Woman to look forward to. Read Full Review

If DC Comics could see how bad series like this negatively impact the overall line, Tom King would never have had the opportunity to write Wonder Woman #14. The little good he does with this issue is overwhelmed by his poor decisions on story and characterization, perhaps he's just oblivious to the deeper meaning behind Diana's actions. Unfortunately, Sampere and Morey's art is wasted on a series that should've never seen publication. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #14 pulls yet another infamous Tom King bait-and-switch paired with a shocking yet pointless act of violence. King is truly turning into a one-trick pony by killing a longtime character for shock value and confirming that a central plot point since the beginning of this run turned out to be a fakeout.4/10 Read Full Review

This issue had a few problems so let me get those out of the way first. Diana needs to speak more. The Wonder Family i.e. Cassie, Yara & Donna should not just be doing cameos. Instead of Batman or Superman looking for Diana, that could've been the Wonder Family. Not necessary look for her but show them supporting Diana on her grievance. I understand DC puts Bats & Superman in everything and this isn't going to be the exception. But if they're going to be here, they gotta have something to do instead of just take space. I think the Washington Monument can be seen in the background in a panel, maybe I'm wrong but, wasn't the Washington Monument destroyed during the battle with Giganta? I'm pretty sure it's the same monument Giganta trie d killing Diana with. There's no denying it anymore, King cemented his sad and heavy story telling style in a Wonder Woman book. I'm not sure that using Steve Trevor's death was the best way to depict how much Diana loves him. I think if you read the last issue, that was pretty clear. With that being said, seeing Diana the Wonder Woman grieving isn't an issue for me. Not that Diana needs to be humanized or portrayed in a vulnerable way for me to like the character, but she lost someone important that she loves, it's understandable. Also, while I'm at it, yes she stole the flag from Steve's funeral to cry and mourn him, it's okay. I can see why many other readers see those panels with Diana and the flag and immediately connect it to the WW2 era of pro USA propaganda in comics. But me, and take this with a grain of salt, an active service member in the armed forces, I just see a fallen soldier's spouse grieving. Dramatic? Oh yes, quite dramatic. Not a deal breaker for me. I used to believe that Lizzie aka Trinity was the daughter of Emilie, the Amazon that attacked the men at the bar and consequently started this whole situation of the USA government vs the Amazons. She even resembled Emilie to me. But good plot twist by King, I'll admit I did not see it coming. Weather you think it was clever or not, Tom King is paying tribute to Elizabeth Marston, the wife of William Marston and co-creator of the systolic blood pressure measurement used to detect deception, the predecessor to the polygraph, by naming Diana's daughter Elisabeth Marston Prince. Love the full circle of all of that is entailed in this affair. When it comes to the art, Sampere and Morey are the primary (even only) reason a lot of people have kept up with this series, and this issue is just a testament to their skills. Morey in particular doesn't get enough praise as he is in part why these pages look this amazing. more

The art is lovely, but I found nothing exceptionally moving or interesting about this issue. It didn't live up to the hype. And I'm also tired of so much of Wonder Woman's story revolving around Batman, Superman, and men in general.

I never read a Wonder Woman issue before, so I was hoping for this issue to be a great jumping on point, but this wasn’t it. The story definitely feels ambitious, but I understood literally nothing about what’s going on or who the characters are. Apparently WW’s lover died and it’s told in a way that is maybe very artistic, but not very welcoming to new readers. The art in this book is simply amazing, but it didn’t help making me care for the character.

I might not be a wonder woman fan, but I dont think she would spend a year moping around being depressed. But hey, at least we know how Trinity was born

The art is the only thing saving this issue. This just continues to prove that King doesn't get Diana as a character. She steals the flag from Steve's family instead of asking, she crawls into the fetal position and weeps, what the heck am I even reading here? Steve Trevor is killed out of the blue with no setup. No self-sacrifice, no hero's send off. This is just trash. Dropping this title. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/X9NtI_zTMeM

I hate to give this such a low score because Sampere's art is truly beautiful but I have to do it because this story in this ish was all over the place. I was left totally confused and frustrated and again telling the narrator blue box (the sovereign) to shut the f**k up constantly. Blah blah blah blah blah, meaningless exposition. Steve is killed just because, and again none of this consistently flows from one ish to the other. The storyline and pacing feels ADD and unorganized. The only satisfaction is you see she makes Elizabeth out of clay with her hair and a piece of Steven. That was nice, but frankly I think this ish would have been better if it had a good writer and less dialogue boxes taking up so much space and unnecessary at tention. I thought King was improving but this ish proves otherwise. And don't get me started on the disjointed Day 5, then Day 50, then Day 42, then Day 1 drove me f***ing crazy... more
