Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #6: It’s Never The End

Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #6 concludes the miniseries centered on three time-displaced versions of Trinity searching for the missing Super Sons’ corgis while also secretly attempting to connect with the father they never knew. This issue takes place in very recent continuity, specifically during the storyline in which Steve Trevor dies and Trinity is born. It is revealed that shortly before his demise, Steve Trevor encounters one of the missing corgis, which leads to a meeting between the oldest of the time-displaced Trinities and her father.

This series has been as heartfelt as it has been hilarious, with the different time periods the characters travel to representing significant moments in DC history. Many of these stories are self-indulgent in the best possible way for writer Tom King, who uses his extensive knowledge of DC continuity, and at times even his own past work, to tell a dramatic yet comedic story. While the series maintains a delicate balance between drama and humor, it ultimately leans more toward comedy, though this final issue shifts noticeably in a more dramatic direction.

At the start of this issue, Trinity is getting to know her father despite knowing that he will be murdered later that day. Their growing connection is juxtaposed with Steve’s recollection of events and his reflections on what they mean for the future of these characters. While this is a story about love, loss, and family, it is also deeply rooted in comic book continuity. Although the ending contains a few surprises, attentive readers may be able to anticipate where it is headed.

The series would not be the same without the art of Belén Ortega, whose style is perfectly suited to both the comedic and dramatic elements of the story. This issue is particularly unique because it takes place during a storyline Tom King previously wrote in Wonder Woman, which was illustrated by Daniel Sampere. Seeing Ortega’s interpretation of this period, at times echoing Sampere’s earlier work, is truly impressive. No other artist could have elevated this series in the same way, and this final issue solidifies it as a definitive work for Ortega.
