Wonder Woman #3
This third volume of the 2005 Wonder Woman series collects issues #14–20, following Diana as she navigates a complex relationship with the mysterious warrior named Beasts while confronting the manipulative sorceress Circe. The story arc delves into themes of identity and power, with artwork by Terry Dodson and Aaron Lopresti.
In "Swan Song," Wonder Woman is summoned to Olympus by Hermes during a quiet moment with Superman—only for the two heroes to arrive in separate places. With the gods' realm seized by Darkseid and the New God testing their resolve, Diana and Superman face a twisted trial as the enemy manipulates their bond. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by Byrne and George Pérez, with cover art by Pérez, this 2005 issue blends myth and might in a moment where friendship is tested and Olympus itself defies destruction.
In "Swan Song," Wonder Woman grapples with unexpected emotions as she prepares for a charity fair held in her honor, while Solomon Buchman kidnaps Maxine Sterenbuch to reveal a chilling truth: her pen pal, Valerie Beaudry, has been transformed into the Silver Swan through a dangerous experiment. When Valerie’s sonic powers erupt at the fair, her attack on Wonder Woman sets off a crisis that threatens to unravel everything—especially as Henry Cobb Armbruster’s hidden designs begin to unfold.
In "Bird of Paradise / Bird of Prey!", Wonder Woman must confront the Silver Swan in a sky-high clash above Boston after a chaotic showdown at the fair, while personal tensions simmer back home—Diana confides in Vanessa Kapatelis about her complicated feelings for Superman, prompting a plan to reconnect through Myndi Mayer, all as Hermes flees an unknown pursuer through the halls of Olympus.
In "Different Worlds," Wonder Woman and Superman are pulled from a shared moment by Hermes, only to be separated upon arriving at the besieged Olympus. With Darkseid and Desaad manipulating events from the shadows, the heroes confront the New God’s twisted games—each forced into conflict, yet united in defiance. As Olympus itself begins to heal, the two return home, their bond strengthened by the trial they endured.
In "Traces," Wonder Woman and Vanessa Kapatelis journey to Greece to meet Julia, but Diana is soon pulled back by a message from her mother—news from home that stirs old memories. As she walks the sacred paths of Greece, Diana’s presence draws the gaze of a shadowy figure, while on Olympus, Zeus begins to orchestrate a vast, unseen migration of the gods.
In Greece, Wonder Woman must navigate a growing conflict between those loyal to the island's witch and the rebels who have turned violent, after the killing of Theophilus' nephew ignites a firestorm. As the three sons of Chronus forge a new pact that dissolves their old divisions, Diana finds herself caught between ancient forces and a rising tide of monstrous allies led by Circe.
In "The Witch on the Island," Wonder Woman finds herself captured and brought to the mystical isle of Aeaea, where Circe, wielding dark power backed by the goddess Hecate, plots to deepen the rift between men and women. With Diana trapped and Circe preparing a spell to unmake her, Julia Kapatelis and the rebels launch a desperate assault on the lair—just as divine forces stir to intervene.
