Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #1 Review!

The daughter of Wonder Woman launches in her own title which gets to why reading comics is fun! She first appeared in Wonder Woman #800 (2023) created by Tom King and Daniel Sampere. There was a Trinity Special #1 (2024) that collected three parts of the back-up with her first appearance and a new story, “Mothers and Daughters” by King and Sampere. The “World’s Finest” back-ups, part 4 to 9, were completed in Trinity Special: World’s Finest #1 (2024). Trinity was introduced alongside her brothers and wards, Damian Wayne, son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, and Jon Kent, son of the post-Crisis Superman and Lois Lane. The duo met as Superboy and Robin in Superman #10 (2017). “In the Name of the Father: World’s Smallest Part 1” is by Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason. 

The Super Sons team starred in a 2017 limited series. Confusingly, Jon spent time with Jor-El (?) in Superman #8 (2019) before being trapped on Earth-3, he returned to his Earth only to find himself aged up? DC has been retconning all the time, this should be erased since Jon has always been similar to Damian. Jon took the mantle of Superman and had his own title, Superman: Son of Kal-El starting in 2021. So the only hero without a solo title is Damian Wayne. Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #1 has a great cover by Belén Ortega of Trinity holding her gold and silver lassos with a red, blue, and gold star in the background. Also funny is Wonder Robin cover by Lucas Mayer cover parodying the classic Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (1985). It has her carrying a Super Corgi winking as Corgis behind them watch them! 

“Crisis of Infinite Corgis” is by King and Ortega. Ortega first worked on Wonder Woman with Sensational Wonder Woman #11 (2021). She crafted the story of Lizzie Prince with “Trinity: World’s Finest” running as back-ups starting with Wonder Woman #3 (2024). The comic begins with the floating green cloak of Pariah. He was the character introduced in DC’s multiverse event, Crisis on Infinite Earths #1 (1985). We see him revealed with mad eyes monologuing about witnessing a civilization of ten thousand years is about to be lost. He is swallowed by a white light as of the multiverse is destroyed. His despair becomes almost absurd. A splash page as Superman and Green Lantern blast a white event, crowds watch or run from it, while Wonder Robin, young Lizzie, races after a Super-Corgi puppy to save the universe! 

 

Wonder Robin is Lizzie’s identity when she was an elementary school girl introduced in Wonder Woman #3 (2023). A Robin outfit with goggles and green ballerina skirt, a little parody of the Robin, Carrie Kelley, from the ultra-serious Dark Knight Returns (1986), always funny. The Super-Corgi flies away as the city collapses and Wonder Robin pleads to the puppy that she can’t fly. Then crashes into Pariah and she asks after his monologue about the Super Corgi. Pariah tries to explain in his faux Shakespearean rant that the animal is unimportant. Wonder Robin head scratches at Mr. Piranha, funny!, we get not to take world ending events so seriously with Lizzie’s confusion. He tries to explain that he sees everything. A two shot of Lizzie and Pariah asks the direction of the puppy. He is racked with his suffering and Lizzie asks him if he sad. 

He corrects her and tries to explain. Then, Wonder Robin says her mommy says talking helps not to feel alone. Lizzie tells Pariah about a time in the future with her babysitters, Damian and Jon, at Wayne Mansion. We see this argument in three panels, Lizzie on the couch, while the duo starts arguing about which one of their fathers is stronger. Jon says his father has “super-everything”, Lizzie’s expression is bored, funny! Damian calls Jon a “fingerman”, I wonder if this alludes to Bob Fingerman who wrote Bizarro Comics. I like the melodrama from Pariah and here the teen drama from Jon and Damian. Lizzie walks away from them. A number of narrow panels show Lizzie outside on a swing, alone in the winter yard, she swings thinking that Jon and Damian have “mommies and daddies”, but she is alone! Great expressions by Ortega! 

Then, she is told not to cry, and we find on a splash page, Wonder Girl, Lizzie took the name Wonder Girl in Wonder Woman #8 (2024). She stands from a shining, golden machine and uses Lizzie’s full name, Elizabeth Marston Prince! One of the best parts of the character, Elizabeth, after Wonder Woman creator’s wife, and her middle name, Marston after William Marston Moulton. The last name comes from the alias of Wonder Woman, Diana Prince. Back at the present with the white void, Green Lanterns comes screaming out of it, the tone of the comic just makes this funny. Lizzie explains to Pariah that she saw herself as a teenager with a superhero name! She tells him Wonder Robin can't be used on adventures. On the lawn, Wonder Girl tells her younger self that she remembered how sad she was, then took time machine bubble. 

Young Lizzie can't believe it and Wonder Girl looks off scratching her neck about Lizzie's question that she could just change the past! Almost Rodney Dangerfield. Wonder Girl says that it is better if no one knows about the time travel. Lizzie stares at her in awe and says, "You're so cool." Wonder Robin is happy saying her daddy died and wants one so she runs with her arms in the air. Lizzie coutns down, but Wonder Girl is sitting silen, She is rethinking the time travel and Lizzie bursts into tears. Her crying looks inspired by anime! Wonder Girl figures out what can be done. Lizzie's crying streams acorss the bottom of panels. Wonder Girl says that she doesn't have a plan, but an older Lizzie will have a plan. Lizzie pauses wondering if they can go to the future. Teen Lizzie says it has consequences. 

Then, we get "Elsewhere", a vault of drawers with three women working on a loom, the Fates or the Moirai. One has a blue shawl, the kneeling blonde woman in black, tells a joke about fate, and an older woman with a grey shawl and black clothes works on the other side. Maid, the blonde haired woman, is telling the joke when the woman with the blue shawl, the Mother, looks to see someone. The Maid is Clotho, the weaver, The Mother is Lachesis, who draws out the thread. Then the elderly woman, The Crone, Atropos, cutting threads, she also sees the mysterious person with her hands up. Finally, Maid turns to see the threat, holds a golden thread, and says they are not to blame! A cosmic event, destiny changed, with Lizzie or the Lizzies a part of it! A joke, The Lizzies, were the woman gang in The Warriors (1979). At a castle on a sea cliff, "A few more years from now", the adult Trinity says, "I honestly can't remember being this stupid", funny! 

Wonder Girl can't believe she gets three lassos. A statue, hidden from us by leaves, draws the attention of Wonder Robin. Trinity says Wonder Girl should go back and doesn't want to be responsible for the "collapse of time." Wonder Girl is more interested in holding the lassos! Unnotices, little Lizzie shouts out it's him. Thenk we see the statue of Wonder Woman and her love interest!, Trinity and Wonder Girl stare, as Lizzie runs with her fists raised saying, "That's my daddy!" It has been unseen about Lizzie's father, but always seemed inevitable who was the father. Trinity walks out of the time bubble saying she will only stay to see if things are right with the world. She says she will see if lizard monsters haven't taken over the world, this worries little Lizzie! They are again on the lawn of Wayne Manor adn Trinity says it seems alright when they hear a bark. Trinity is shocked, Wonder Girl panics and says she didn't do it, and Wonder Robin screams, "Puppies!" She is just so funny. 

Five Time Machine Bubbles out of Five!
