FOR THE BATMAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING! Amidst their adventures as Superman and Wonder Woman, Clark and Diana take a thrilling journey into space to get a birthday gift for their dear friend Bruce.
There's no Trinity story in this issue, just another perfect issue from what is becoming DC's best book. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #7 is highly enjoyable, and while the story it tells isn't directly relevant to the narrative of Wonder Woman, the underlying relationships it plays on are. Read Full Review
A fun side quest for Clark and Diana. King writes a pitch-perfect day out for two characters facing uncertain futures back home on Earth. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #7 is a charming break from the chaos. It’s a remarkable romp that completely changes the comic’s mood, precisely the palette cleanser the series needed. It’s fun, fresh and energetic. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #7 is a delight in a character showcase that reminds us Wonder Woman is as commanding and powerful at fighting a villain as she is present shopping. The depiction of Superman only adds to the greatness of Wonder Woman, and it's fun to see the two interact as longtime friends. Wonder Woman #7 will be one of the happiest sights you'll see all week.

March delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. The character designs are great and I love the beautifully detailed backgrounds. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #7 shows exactly why the Trinity is the best superhero tandem ever. Stories like this are truly missed and more like this are needed. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #7 is one of those rare issues where you get to see these larger-than-life characters be a bit more human in a way that doesn't involve unspeakable tragedy. If you can stomach some corny jokes and a decent amount of sentimentality, this will be a fun read for you. Read Full Review
This isn't groundbreaking storytelling but certainly a refreshing change of pace that further drives home the Sovereign story needs to wrap up sooner rather than later. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #7 takes a break from the Sovereign for a filler issue with a guest artist to send Superman and Wonder Woman birthday shopping for Batman. The gift selection is sweet, but King writes Superman like a sheepish child to Wonder Woman's sage mothering, and the sitcom-level jokes go over like a lead balloon. Read Full Review
Wonder Woman #7 isn't an issue that illustrates Tom King's potential as a writer. It tries at being a fun riff on "For the Man Who Has Everything, which doesn't work on its surface, but struggles even further with poor characterization. The idea of a fun mall romp between two-thirds of the Trinity sounds good in theory, but it requires so much more to make that story worthwhile. Maybe this one was meant to be an online shopping trip. Read Full Review
Fun, great characterization, and March can draw him some WW.
This is a blast. With heart. Tom King is a wizard.
This was a lovely and fun read! I really liked: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy references, Earth Bucks puns, dad jokes, BatCat, and a really true rendition of mall experiences. I also appreciate how well crafted this short story is, with a lot of different call-backs, connections, and multi-layer themes. And I think that King did a great job of letting each character here shine on their own! I always liked March, and he did a great job here, as usual.
Before I say anything, that "sup" joke from Superman was incredible. Anyways, this was the best issue in a while. It felt great to not have the Sovereign narrating me into oblivion, though I'm pretty sure it will return with the next issue. Also, while March did a solid job as the fill-in artist, I'm definitely ready for Daniel Sampere to come back.
This issue was a nice change of pace. It was fun and funny, and had genuinely good character moments for Diana. We see her worn down by the conflict of the first arc, for once. Why was this never shown in the first arc?
As someone who's been involved with and had friends involved with some sort of activist work, this issue kind of invokes the feelings of being so rundown by that work and just needing a break from it, for a moment, so you don't go crazy. Now if King had written Diana to be more openly affected during any of that first arc, this would be more effective. But I'm willing to overlook her disaffectedness in that first arc because I enjoy this issue a lot. It's giving me what I desperately needed: A Wonder Woman with ch more
while it's not as good as the previous issue, I was pleasantly surprised at the small quiet moments between Superman and Wonder Woman. I'm conflicted on how Superman acts, but I like the ending nonetheless.
Tom King excels at these slice of life stories. I enjoyed them in his Batman run and I'm glad he's doing them in his Wonder Woman run too.
Entertaining April Fools issue.
King does Super heroes doing regular, everyday things so perfectly.
Tom King throws us a curveball w/ a delightful detour to the series’ larger story. WW & Superman go on a quest unlike any they’ve faced before: finding the perfect birthday present for Batman in a giant alien mall (which has VERY strict parking rules).
Seeing these two longtime friends traverse the mall’s 594,838 stores in search of a gift for the brooding billionaire is a fun way to explore their dynamic & throw in some fun Easter egg jokes along the way. The dialogue highlighting their genuine friendship adds a layer of humanity to these god-like heroes. I’m loving King’s characterization for Diana & it continues here even in a lighter situation.
However, Superman’s portrayal felt a touch off. King inject more
This little break from the main story was a little over the top for me, although it did have its moments
Fun issue. But not needed at all. Another cooldown issue is just killing the main one.
This issue was a slog to read and I really didn't jive with King's voice for Superman especially (though not as painful as his voice for Damian & Jon). He's clearly trying to recapture the fun of Date Night (which I really liked) but failed with constant goofy lines from Superman and writing Clark very generic as if he doesn't know Bruce like a brother. So many bad jokes and lines that just made no sense for them to say ("please don't tell Darksied"). That said the final few pages taking the picture and Bruce receiving the gift were fantastic and gave me some feels to see him smile like that but it's just a shame the journey to get there was so poor.
Stupid. Shocked this side story was so bad. Really corny shit.
More out of character writing. I tire of this.
My 4 points go to Marchs great art. 0 to King and that is generous. I should deduct for his trash.
A huge swing and a miss! Why wouldn’t we see a flashback story that explains why Diana does not want Clark to interfere or just do a reprint that supports why Diana is refusing help (except King probably doesn’t have the receipts needed to support it).
