Tom King and Daniel Sampere’s time on Wonder Woman is drawing to a close, as DC has announced December’s Wonder Woman #40 will both wrap up the “Wonder War” storyline and serve as the end of the creative team’s run.
King and Sampere have been working together on the book since 2023, with King writing all 40 issues and Sampere drawing most of the run. Together they’ve had Wonder Woman hunted by the U.S. government and made her a mom. They’ve brought Trinity, Wonder Woman’s daughter from the future, and villains like the Sovereign and the Matriarch to the book. The series was nominated for an Eisner Award in 2024, in both the Best Continuing Series category and the Best Short Story category, while King was nominated for Best Writer in 2025.
