And while it will only be 14 days before I get another dose of Greg Ruckas wisdom and craft, this is where we regrettably say goodbye and thank you to Nicola Scott. It has been an honor to read, absorb, and adore every page along the way. Read Full Review

Greg Rucka dishes out another flawless issue for a perfect series. WONDER WOMAN #14 not only delivers but goes beyond the quality we've come to expect from this title. Still artistically beautiful and dynamic in script, "Year One" comes to a close that is sure to be a staple in Wonder Woman must reads. Read Full Review

If you still havent picked up this series, please do. Its one of the best of DC Rebirth. Read Full Review

Overall, this is a really strong issue. The art is gorgeous and it's very well written. Wonder Woman comes across as a terrific character in several moments and the action is exciting. I highly recommend reading this issue. Read Full Review

The team have done something which I feel has been a long time needed for Wonder Woman: they've created the story that speaks to the very core, the very essence of what Wonder Woman is. Of why she is important. They have made Wonder Woman's All Star Superman or Green Lantern: Rebirth. They've re-established why Wonder Woman is unique and vital. Read Full Review

This is a beautiful finale to Year One that sets the stage for the next chapter of the Wonder Woman saga. Read Full Review

The next two issues will be unique as they mark the kick off to two new story arcs. So long as Scott remains to handle the even numbered issues, Wonder Woman will continue to be a can't miss title. Read Full Review

Wonder Woman #14 is a fantastic issue, a great conclusion to the "Year One" arc, and an issue that continues to build upon the series' reputation as one of DC's strongest titles. Read Full Review

"Year One" is definitely a highwater mark for the character over the past few years, and this arc will go down as one that is repeatedly referenced for years to come. Read Full Review

It's clear that the origin story in Wonder Woman #14has reached the moment where she's become the icon we're familiar with. It's a valuable insight into how the world embraced her, and how she earnt their trust. But just seeing her having drinks with the other characters and not spending all of her time with the Justice League is a breath of fresh air. This origin story works fantastically in telling the world's first reactions to the Amazonian. But it also works in brilliant tandem with the main story of losing her home, whilst also being able to stand on its own as a singular plot. Read Full Review

The optimistic tone is a welcome counterpoint to the comparatively grim present-day storyline, and Rucka and letterer Jodi Wynne continue to convey Diana's language barrier in fun, clever ways. Read Full Review

I enjoyed this issue even as it seemed smaller than the buildup that lead to it.  It's a mix of satisfying moments and rushed bits, but Nicola Scott's art makes it all look fantastic.  I liked this Year One finale more than the Lies one, but like that issue, I was left wanting so much more.

Wonder Woman #14 is another thrilling outing and provides a satisfying conclusion to the "Year One" arc. Read Full Review

"Year One" reaches it's conclusion, and Diana's confrontation with Ares is quite dramatic, though overall maybe things wrap up a bit too quickly for me. This issue is bittersweet, as it is Nicola Scott's last; her pencils are gorgeous here, and have been throughout the whole story. She was made to draw Wonder Woman. Sigh!

SCORE: 8.1

Comic Book Review (7/10) "Good"
Wonder Woman #14 "Year One Finale"
Writer: Greg Rucka
Penciller: Nicola Scott
Plot: Ares, the god of war, has attacked an American base seeking the knowledge to the location of Themyscira. However, to Ares' surprise, it seems one of the consequences of leaving Themyscira was losing the knowledge of the location of the Amazonian home. Can Wonder Woman defeat Ares and contain the poison that makes men and women belligerent?
This feels like a very rushed finale to a 7 issue story arc, and it feels like Rucka was trying to wrap everything up by this issue and the issue feels rushed as a consequence. After the fight with Ares, Diana proceeds to contain the "poison" that makes people want to war in several countries. I would've preferred if the search for the poison was a bit more elaborate and well done, but it felt very generic and anticlimactic. The whole international search wrapped up in a few pages!
Scott's beautiful art elevates this mediocre ending to this story arc and I have to say that Perez' Ares run feels more epic than this story arc but at least we get Scott's beautiful art one more time before she moved on.
