Because he doesn’t know the character at all. Same reason he has her not helping her friends escape. He has her just making out with Steve.
Gamorra found! Wonder Woman and Robin have finally located Amanda Waller’s super jail holding the powerless heroes they once fought alongside. Can the new dynamic duo break them out before they become trapped themselves? An undercover ally may hold the key to everything!
As we tackle the last few tie-ins to Absolute Power, some of them are big and explosive and some are surprisingly intimate. This issue, which continues last month's awkward team-up between Wonder Woman and Damian Wayne, somehow manages to be both. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #13 uses its levity to instill hope. The whole book is fun and freeing, with humor laced within the action. It’s ultimately a positive reading experience. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #13 closes out the Absolute Power tie-in story well, playing up the Damian team-up aspect and progressing the larger story nicely. More importantly, King's dialogue lands every time, feeling natural and apt for his take on Wonder Woman. Read Full Review
On top of being a gargantuan chapter in the Absolute Power event, Wonder Woman #13 is another wonderful slice of Tom King's Diana Prince. The issue highlights Diana's vulnerability when faced with life without her powers whilst never compromising on tonal nuance established by King as her story weaves in to that of the wider DC event.

Wonder Woman #13pairs Steve Trevor with Diana and Damian Wayne on a reckless mission to break all the heroes out of Gamorra Island Prison. Tom King gets the job done, even if Damian's voice is off and Wonder Woman's contribution ranges from marginal to ridiculous. Get this issue if you want to know how the prisoners escaped, but skip it for everything else. Read Full Review
Tom King drops the ball on tapping into the potential Absolute Power provided him to tell a cool prison break story in Wonder Woman #13. The choice of focus on Wonder Woman's relationship with Steve Trevor ended up superseding all the potential of this type of story. Add in how King has seemed to lost steam on narratives around the Trinity back-ups and this is comic book best forgotten. Read Full Review
While I feel like the Absolute Power tie-in aspect of things probably doesn't help with the strength of the issue, Wonder Woman #13 i also just sort of bland on its own. Read Full Review
This is one of the best issues of Absolute Power. Actually very
surprised to see the meh reviews on this issue. The playfulness of
Diana and Damian is superb. And the stand that Wonder Woman makes
without her powers will get you. Art is also top notch. Even the
back story is good. Just love the tone of this book
why does tom king make Wonder Woman speak like she's in a Shakespeare play
A good issue, although I do think this ended a bit suddenly. I just felt a little underwhelmed, despite the fact that I found the majority of this enjoyable. For the backup, I will say that I wish like half of it wasn't recapping/retelling things we've seen already. The moment where Damian reassured Diana was nice, though.
I don't hate this issue, clearly. I'm giving it a 7. But it's irksome. I could be *really* uncharitable and mean, and make my review one sentence: "Oh, look at Diana, so caught up in her lusty womanly wiles that she can't help her friends escape prison." It's irksome. I'm trying to be nice though.
What a waste of time. The arwork is good and I love the pic of her with the sword. Too bad the artist forgot to draw it on her back for most of the beginning of the issue. The kissing went waaaay to far to the point that it was laughable. Maybe it was supposed to be a joke, but it didn't land. Instead, it made the character look stupid. She has no powers and she's in a battle situation that she is not taking seriously. The interaction between her and Damien is the only thing that kept the issue going.
