Wonder Woman #1
This collection launches Wonder Woman into DC's New 52 continuity, written by Brian Azzarello with art by Cliff Chiang. It reimagines the Amazon princess's origin, revealing that she is not the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus, but rather a clay figure brought to life by the gods, and pits her against a new threat involving the god of war, Ares. The volume collects issues #1–6 of the 2011 series, blending Greek mythology with a darker, more visceral tone.
In "The Visitation," Wonder Woman faces a new threat as she encounters Lennox, a half-mortal child of Zeus who warns that the gods are turning on one another in the wake of Zeus’s disappearance. As Diana confronts Poseidon on the surface, Lennox vanishes into the underworld, setting a dangerous chain of events in motion. Written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Tony Akins, with colors by Matthew Wilson and letters by Jared K. Fletcher, the cover by Cliff Chiang captures the mythic weight of this pivotal moment.
In "The Visitation," Wonder Woman finds herself caught in a divine conflict when Hera dispatches centaurs to eliminate a mortal woman carrying the latest child of Zeus. With Hermes watching from the shadows and the presence of Apollo and Zola looming in the celestial fray, the Amazon warrior must navigate the treacherous politics of the gods to protect an innocent life.
In "Home," Wonder Woman brings Zola and Hermes to Paradise Island seeking refuge from Hera’s wrath, but their sanctuary is soon threatened when Strife arrives and stirs unrest among the Amazons, turning sister against sister. With Hippolyta’s wisdom and the island’s ancient magic at stake, Wonder Woman must protect her home and the ones she’s sworn to keep safe.
Wonder Woman seeks escape in London, shaken by a devastating truth from her mother, while on Paradise Island, Hera arrives with a vengeance, targeting Hippolyta. The goddess of marriage and family turns her wrath on the Amazon queen, setting off a storm that will ripple across gods and warriors alike.
In "Lourdes," Wonder Woman teams up with Lennox, a young half-mortal son of Zeus, as they uncover a growing rift among the gods following Zeus’s disappearance. With tensions rising and the Underworld stirring, Diana faces Poseidon’s fury while Lennox ventures into the depths, where Hades and Cerberus await—and Hera watches from the shadows.
