With the tide of the war against the Sovereign turning, Wonder Woman's greatest love takes matters into his own hands with deadly consequences. Could Steve's end be the beginning of Diana's greatest adventure yet? Behold the birth of Trinity!
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
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
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
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
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
Heavy
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.
