Wonder Woman #2
This volume collects the second story arc of the Rebirth-era Wonder Woman series, focusing on the 'Year One' storyline that reimagines Diana's origin. Written by Greg Rucka with art by Nicola Scott, it explores her early days on Themyscira, her departure from the island with Steve Trevor, and her introduction to Man's World. The collection also includes the 'Wonder Woman' Rebirth one-shot and issues #2, #4, #6, #8, #10, and #12 of the main series, presenting a fresh take on the Amazonian princess's beginnings within the DC Universe Rebirth initiative.
In "Year One Part One," Wonder Woman #2 (2017) kicks off a pivotal chapter as Hippolyta calls a council of the Amazons to decide how to respond to the arrival of Steve Trevor on Themyscira. With tensions rising and beliefs divided, Castalia’s conviction that the gods have sent Steve as a sign leads to the decision to hold a tournament to choose an Amazon champion—Diana, who emerges victorious and prepares to journey to the outside world. Written by Greg Rucka and brought to life with dynamic art by Nicola Scott—whose pencils and inks define both the interior and the striking cover—this issue sets the stage for a bold new beginning, grounded in myth and purpose.
In "Year One Part One," young Princess Diana of Themyscira trains under the watchful eyes of Areto and General Philippus, her curiosity about the outside world growing with each passing day. Meanwhile, Steve Trevor endures military drills alongside his close friend Nick, whose life takes a personal turn when he marries Maya and becomes a father to a newborn daughter—Steve’s eventual goddaughter. When Steve and Nick’s unit is deployed, their plane crashes on Themyscira, leaving Steve the sole survivor, injured and stranded in a world beyond his imagination.
In "Year One Part Two," Queen Hippolyta calls a council of Themyscira’s leaders—General Philippus, Epione, Areto, and Castalia—after Steve Trevor’s arrival stirs unrest among the Amazons. With divided opinions on whether to intervene in the outside world, Castalia’s belief that the gods sent Steve as a sign ultimately sways the decision: a tournament will crown the champion to accompany him. Princess Diana of Themyscira rises as the victor, earning her place as the Amazon envoy to a world she’s never known.
In "Year One Part Three," Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor face the unfamiliar challenges of the modern world after arriving in the United States, where they’re detained and questioned by federal agents. As language barriers stall communication, Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva is brought in to interpret Diana’s ancient tongue, while Steve grapples with the painful task of telling Maya about her husband Nick’s death. Meanwhile, Diana receives a mysterious visit in her holding cell—her divine patron gods appear in animal form, each offering her a gift that marks the beginning of her journey in this new world.
In "Year One Part Four," Diana of Themyscira steps into the world of modern America with Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, and Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva on a trip to the mall—a mundane setting that quickly turns chaotic when gunmen from the Sear Group launch a surprise attack. With civilians and children like Rebecca and her brother David caught in the crossfire, Diana and Steve must act fast to protect the innocent and bring the assailants to justice.
In "Year One Part Five," Wonder Woman grapples with her new identity after stopping a mall shooting, as public fascination grows and Steve Trevor witnesses her powers firsthand. With the captured Sear group operatives in her grasp and the Lasso of Truth revealing chilling truths, Diana uncovers a global threat tied to a hidden enemy — one whose name, when anagrammed, spells a name long thought mythic.
In "Interlude," young Barbara Ann Minerva, driven by a childhood encounter with a mysterious white mouse and a teacher’s quiet wisdom, embarks on a global quest to uncover the truth behind the Amazons—her journey marked by lost artifacts, a fateful dig led by Dr. Martins, and a haunting vision of a Tunisian mother and child who may hold secrets older than time.
