strejdakingSo, in unlikely case there is somebody who doesn't know about Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, she is something like Wonder Woman's Azrael, although I prefer to think of her as her Vegeta. An Amazon from a lost tribe of eeeeevil Amazons who took over Wonder Woman's mantle during the nineties and while she was basically there to be the EXTREEEEEME WW to contrast with all-loving Diana, she nevertheless was embraced by many fans, enough to remain a consistent part of the franchise, despite so many characters who got ditched and forgotten, even starring in the recent Red Hood and the Outlaws book.

World of Wonder: Wonder Woman #8

With Patty Jenkins on board for the WW sequel, there's the question of present-day Diana's supporting cast, now that Steve Trevor and Etta Candy have been canon-locked into World War One.
Luckily, WW: Rebirth provides an answer to that, in the form of (and starting with) Barbara Minerva. Check it!
Words: Greg Rucka
starwolf_oakleyFor the "World of Wonder" theme, here is LEGENDS OF THE DC UNIVERSE #5, the conclusion of "Moments" by William Messner-Loebs and Mike Deodato. It takes place early in Diana's post-Crisis career as an ambassador, and involves her losing some illusions about the outside world.
( A moment here. A moment there. )

starwolf_oakleyFor the "World of Wonder" theme, here is LEGENDS OF THE DC UNIVERSE #4 has the first part of a Wonder Woman story called "Moments." It takes place shortly after Diana has left Themyscira to become an ambassador.

DCSHG: Summer Olympus
May. 30th, 2017 08:27 pmozalineOne of the free books to be given out for Wonder Woman day and you can already see it free on comixology.
Here's four pages, wherein Diana introduces Bumblebee to Zeus, her father.
Wait... Zeus, her father?
( Noooooooooo )

icon_ukI checked and it's been five years since I posted this, so I'm giving it a bit of a revival.
I've also discovered there was an old series of posts about Diana called "World of Wondy", so I'll probably merge them with the current theme, for ease of access.
The new movie will hove to the New52 reveal that Diana is the actually the daughter of Zeus, a story idea so at odds with the concept of Wonder Woman it boggles the mind. I believe that Rebirth might have done away with that (though I'm not sure), but the movie was already underway so it played the cards it was dealt
Trigger warning for misogyny, violence against women and rape (though that latter is not seen, it's so heavily implied as to be worth mentioning)
( Perez art under the cut (What? You need more of a reason?) )

ozalineFirst off I'd like to draw your attention to this novel on Previews: https://previewsworld.com/Catalog/JUN172273
She will become one of the world's greatest heroes: Wonder Woman. But first she is Diana, Princess of the Amazons. And her fight is just beginning. Diana longs to prove herself to her legendary warrior sisters. But when the opportunity finally comes, she throws away her chance at glory and breaks Amazon law - risking exile - to save a mere mortal. Even worse, Alia Keralis is no ordinary girl and with this single brave act, Diana may have doomed the world. Alia is a Warbringer - a direct descendant of the infamous Helen of Troy, fated to bring about an age of bloodshed and misery. Together, Diana and Alia will face an army of enemies determined to either destroy or possess the Warbringer. If they have any hope of saving both their worlds, they will have to stand side by side against the tide of war.
That sounds like an interesting take Diana's origin with this Alia in place of Steve... I will read it!
This is also an interesting take on Wonder Woman's origin (Supergirl doing a comic for June Moone's art class in DC Superhero Girls: Out of the Bottle #2).

icon_ukAs you will hopefully have noticed, there's a movie opening at the end of the week, and it's something of a big deal.
It's the first big screen female led superhero movie (Important addendum: following the first couple of posts below, let me amend that to "the first big screen female led superhero movie of the modern age" as I had overlooked a couple) and the first one devoted to one of the first female superheroes. I refer of course, to Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot.
The reviews have been universally positive, and those of you following her various creators on social media will have noticed that they all LOVED it.
Scans_Daily owes a lot to Diana of Themyscira, and this, we feel should be appropriate to reflect that, but honouring her with... well, it was originally going to be a "Week of Wonder", but nah, Diana deserves more so we're having a "World of Wonder instead
We're interested in seeing ALL the Amazon's who have contributed, so Diana is a given of course, but also Donna, Cassie, Hippolyta and Artemis, heck if you have an Io, Nubia or Phillipus scene that you want to showcase, bring it on!
Mortal associates like Steve Trevor, Cyndi Meyer and Etta Candy or scenes with her villains like the Cheetah, Dr Cyber or even these delightful scamps from Villainy Incorporated
So let's see lots of posts folks, Diana deserves it and we don't want to disappoint her, do we?
