Wonder Woman by George Pérez #1

In a tale woven from myth and destiny, the Olympian goddesses shape the Amazons to guide humanity, only for their purpose to be lost to time and Ares’s cunning. When Hippolyte longs for a child of her own, the goddesses grant her a daughter born of clay—Diana—whom they send into the world to stand against Ares’s latest designs. As Diana rises to prove herself, the fate of both gods and mortals hangs in the balance.

In "A Fire in the Sky!", Wonder Woman must race against time when Colonel Steve Trevor is sent on a dangerous mission that threatens Themyscira. With Hermes guiding her and the gods watching, Diana must retrieve a vital amulet from Harmonia, save Trevor from a deadly trap, and confront the hidden forces manipulating events from the shadows. As she prepares to step into Man's World, the true scope of her mission begins to unfold.

In "Deadly Arrival!", Wonder Woman races against time as Hermes leads her to Harvard to consult with Professor Julia Kapatelis about the mysterious talisman of Harmonia. While Diana and Julia begin their research, Steve Trevor battles for survival in a hospital under siege by Ares’s followers, and a cursed statue of Decay is unleashed upon the Kapatelis home—awakening with deadly intent and threatening to consume young Vanessa Kapatelis in a night of escalating terror.

In a world where myth and modernity collide, Wonder Woman faces a threat born of entropy itself—Decay—only to discover that her very essence, tied to the Earth’s renewal, is the key to stopping it. As headlines erupt and public faith in her grows, Diana is drawn into a web of conspiracy, where even her closest allies—Steve, Etta, and Matthew—seek her help to clear a name shadowed by betrayal.

In "The Ares Assault," Wonder Woman [Diana] races to uncover the truth behind Harmonia’s talisman, realizing it’s a warning of an impending global war. With the help of Etta Candy, Julia Kapatelis, Colonel Steve Trevor, and Colonel Matthew Michaelis, she uses the talisman’s mirror image to summon allies and confront Deimos and Phobos—only for the battle to escalate when Phobos flees and the team is thrust into a missile base to face General Tolliver and the god Ares himself.

In "Powerplay," Wonder Woman must confront Ares not with steel, but with truth, as she uses the Lasso of Truth to challenge his vision of endless war. With General Tolliver poised to ignite global conflict and Steve Trevor racing to stop him, Diana forces Ares to face the devastating cost of his ambition—losing not just his followers, but his very essence.

In the wake of her return to Themyscira and restoration by the Olympian gods, Wonder Woman [Diana] chooses to leave the island and return to Boston, where she tends to the injured Vanessa Kapatelis. As she prepares for a military debriefing, Diana connects with publicist Myndi Mayer, who helps her navigate the public narrative—only to draw the gaze of the enigmatic Barbara Minerva, whose interest in Diana’s story and her lasso hints at something far more complicated.

In "Time Passages," four women reflect on how Wonder Woman’s presence has reshaped their lives—Julia Kapatelis recalls the chaos of Diana’s mission cut short by G. Gordon Godfrey’s smear campaign, Etta Candy pens a confidential note to Steve Trevor about military responses to the Ares Assault, Vanessa Kapatelis journals her struggles and quiet admiration for Diana at school, and Myndi Mayer drafts a letter to Julia about her public relations efforts. Amid these personal accounts, a mysterious letter arrives, hinting at a meeting Diana never expected—her story, like the women who write about her, is still unfolding.

In "Blood of the Cheetah," Wonder Woman confronts Barbara Minerva, whose true intentions are revealed when she touches the lasso forged from Gaea's girdle. As the Cheetah emerges, Diana is forced to flee, pursued through the jungle while Julia Kapatelis and Vanessa Kapatelis stand by, their loyalty tested. With Chuma and Lieutenant Etta Candy watching from afar, Diana must decide how far she’ll go to protect the sacred relic—and herself—before returning home.

In "Paradise Lost!; (Challenge of the Gods Part 1)," Wonder Woman is tested like no Amazon before her—challenged by Zeus himself to prove her worth through a series of trials set by the gods of Olympus. With Pan’s mischief fueling the contest and her own resolve as her only shield, Diana steps through the portal beneath Themyscira, facing Cottus and the fearsome Hydra in her first trials.

In "Fire and Torment; (Challenge of the Gods Part 2)," Wonder Woman faces terrifying forces beneath Themyscira, from the Hydra to the monstrous Echidna, as her mother Hippolyte defies Philippus to join the battle. With the fate of the island hanging in the balance, Diana confronts a figure from her past—someone she never expected to see again—amid the chaos of divine wrath and ancient fury.

In "Echoes of the Past; (Challenge of the Gods Part 3)," Wonder Woman confronts the lingering mysteries of her lineage as Hippolyte uncovers hidden terrors beneath Themyscira, while Diana Trevor’s past is revealed through a journey that led her to the island decades ago. With Hades now by her side and Pan’s cryptic new mission calling her to Earth, Diana must bridge the gap between myth and modern war—where heroes face the relentless Manhunters.

In "Demonplague; (Challenge of the Gods Part 4)," Wonder Woman and Hippolyte confront a new wave of ancient horrors, aided by Harmonia, who returns Diana’s talisman to help contain the demons still bound within Heracles. With the demons now transferred to Ares, Diana believes her mission is complete—until Hermes arrives with a final, unexpected task: avenge the murder of his son, Pan.

In "For the Glory of Gaea," Wonder Woman returns to find Heracles bearing the immense weight of Themyscira over her mother Hippolyte’s lifeless form. With the gods’ intervention, the island is freed and the wounded are healed, leading to a moment of reconciliation and a new chapter for the Amazons—choosing Diana as their ambassador to the outside world. She returns to Boston, where her life with the Kapatelis begins anew.
