Wonder Woman #5
This volume collects issues #26-30 of the Rebirth-era Wonder Woman series, written by Shea Fontana with art by Mirka Andolfo, David Messina, and others. The story follows Diana as she faces a mysterious threat that targets the Amazon way of life, forcing her to confront her own past and the very heart of what it means to be a hero. A key subplot involves the return of a classic Wonder Woman villain and the deepening of Steve Trevor's relationship with the Amazons.
In "Heart of the Amazon Part One," Wonder Woman faces a personal crisis when a bomb detonates at Etta's brother's wedding, leaving her injured and Diana forced to intervene. As Diana takes Etta to Dr. Crawford for treatment, the doctor's hidden motives come to light—she steals Diana's DNA in a desperate bid to survive her illness, only to be consumed by the power she gains. Written by Shea Fontana and illustrated by Mirka Andolfo, with colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and letters by Saida Temofonte, this pivotal issue explores the cost of desperation and the weight of legacy. The striking cover by Yanick Paquette and Jenny Frison captures the tension of the moment.
In "Heart of the Amazon Part One," Wonder Woman returns to the U.S. after a harrowing mission aiding refugees, carrying the weight of a war-torn world. Tired and introspective, she’s drawn into the warmth of Etta Candy’s brother’s wedding, where she finds unexpected connection with a young girl and a moment of peace amid the chaos. Flashbacks reveal a younger Diana confronting the painful truth that her innocence must give way to duty—just as she once did, on the island of Themyscira.
In "Heart of the Amazon Part Two," Wonder Woman rushes to protect Etta Candy and the wedding party when a bomb detonates at the reception, only to find herself outmaneuvered by Dr. Shannon Crawford, who steals Diana’s DNA in a desperate bid to cure her illness. As Crawford’s transformation into a twisted echo of Diana begins to unravel, the Amazon must confront not only a dangerous foe but the terrifying cost of power taken without consent.
In "Heart of the Amazon Part Four," Wonder Woman is pursued through the jungle by five elite female bounty hunters, each with unique skills and deadly intent, as a mysterious geneticist offers a staggering reward for her capture. With Steve Trevor and Etta Candy at her side, Diana must evade relentless foes—including Cheshire, Cat Eye, Platique, Abolith, and Baundo—while uncovering the dark origins of the genetic experiments threatening to reshape humanity.
