Diana’s visions become more vivid as she finds herself trapped in the dreams of those around her! As she struggles to escape, her life as Wonder Woman hangs in the balance. When the dust settles, will she still be the Amazons’ greatest champion? Find out in this extra-special celebration!
In addition the Trinity variant cover above this milestone issue has a few more variant covers below.
Plus the main cover.
The main story is called “Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth?” which will not be collected following in the footsteps of Superman’s “Whatever Happened To The Man of Tomorrow?” a story told in September 1986’s Superman #423 and Action Comics #583 which were also collected.
That marked the end of the Silver Age and beginning of a new age for Superman ushered in my John Byrne’s Man of Steel.
That original farewell story inspired “Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader?” in April 2009’s Batman #686 and Detective Comics #853 which were naturally collected.
In that same tradition, although set in modern times and not as a “last of an era” story, Wonder Woman’s “Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth?” is also told over two issues in May 2023’s Wonder Woman #799 and June 2023’s Wonder Woman #800 and is expected to be collected soon.
Wonder Woman #800 Spoilers and Review.
The “Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth?” tale ends in this issue which serves is a series of dream sequences where Wonder Woman helps her Justice League colleagues before waking up.
The story itself is mediocre, but the art teams for the various dream sequences where generally top notch making for an eclectic reading experience, but the real intriguing part of this issue was its last 10 pages of story.
It introduces, Trinity, Wonder Woman’s super-heroic daughter Elizabeth Marston Prince to readers.
Its a story set in the future with Superman’s adult son Jon Kent and Batman’s adult son Damian Wayne.
They’ve both taken over their fathers’ super-heroic roles in a story by the new Dawn of DC creative team for the new WW series that kicks off with a new Wonder Woman #1 in September 2023.
Trinity has three trials to endure in the story that Jon and Damian will help her with.
Jon Kent takes on the Trial of Pain.
Damian Wayne takes on the Trial of Skill.
Elizabeth Marston prince takes on the Trial of Honor.
All three seemingly overcome their trials.
The book ends with Trinity visiting an aged prisoner who will tell her how Wonder Woman defeated them in the past.
This looks to be how at least the first arc of the new Wonder Woman series will begin to be told from a storytelling perspective.
Next Up.

To carry out their plans, the government starts a task force, the Amazon Extradition Entity (A.X.E.), to remove those who don’t comply, by any means necessary. Now, in her search for the truth behind the killing, Wonder Woman finds herself an outlaw in the world she once swore to protect!
Writer Tom King (Batman, Mister Miracle, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) and superstar artist in the making Daniel Sampere (Dark Crisis, Action Comics) join forces for this action-packed relaunch and the beginning of what will undoubtedly become a groundbreaking run on the character.

The Pulse.
I didn’t enjoy the main story “Whatever Happened To The Warrior Of Truth?” that marked the end of Wonder Woman volume 5, but did enjoy the back-up story that leads into the WW volume 6 series and features Wonder Woman’s delighter Trinity. Due to the mixed perspective or main and back-up story, I’ll forgo a rating, but encourage you to read the back-up if this milestone issue happens to get in your hands.
