☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis deluxe hardcover collects the complete 'Year One' storyline from the 2016 Wonder Woman series, issues #2, #4, #6, #8, #10, and #12, written by Greg Rucka with art by Nicola Scott. It reimagines Diana's origin, from her upbringing on Themyscira to her arrival in Man's World and her early days as Wonder Woman, with expanded backmatter and a larger page size. The volume also includes the 'Wonder Woman: Year One' backup stories from the same issues, offering a cohesive, visually stunning retelling of the Amazon princess's classic beginnings.
In "Year One Part One," Wonder Woman's origin takes a bold new turn as Hippolyta calls an Amazon council to decide how to respond to Steve Trevor’s arrival on Themyscira. With tensions rising and opinions divided, Castalia’s belief that the gods have sent him as a sign leads to a decisive tournament to choose the Amazon champion who will accompany Steve to the outside world. Written by Greg Rucka and brought to life with striking art by Nicola Scott—both in pencils and inks—this pivotal story captures Diana’s first steps beyond paradise, setting the stage for her destiny. The cover, also by Nicola Scott, beautifully frames this moment of transformation.
In "Year One Part One," Diana of Themyscira trains relentlessly under the watchful eyes of her Amazon sisters, yet her curiosity about the outside world only grows stronger. When Steve Trevor survives a plane crash on the island, injured and alone, his arrival ignites a chain of events that will test the isolation of Themyscira and the bonds between its warriors—especially as Nick and Daki, two strangers from the outside world, become entangled in the island’s ancient secrets.
In the heart of Themyscira, Queen Hippolyta calls a council to decide the fate of Steve Trevor, the man who’s washed ashore on their island. With tensions rising among the Amazons, Castalia’s belief that the gods have sent him as a sign sways the decision: a tournament will crown a champion to journey to the outside world and face a looming threat. Diana, driven by curiosity and purpose, emerges victorious—and prepares to step beyond the island’s shores.
In the third chapter of *Wonder Woman: Year One*, Diana and Steve Trevor arrive in the United States, only to be detained and questioned by federal agents. As language barriers threaten to stall their mission, Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva is brought in to interpret Diana’s words—unaware she’s already entangled in the mystery surrounding the Amazon’s arrival. Meanwhile, Diana receives a mysterious visit from her patron Gods, who appear in the form of animals and bestow upon her gifts that deepen her connection to her heritage.
In "Year One Part Four," Diana adjusts to life in America alongside Steve, Etta, and Barbara Ann as they head to the mall—a whirlwind of noise, crowds, and unfamiliar sights. When gunmen storm the building, Diana and Steve spring into action, stepping into the chaos to protect the innocent and keep the crowd safe.
In "Year One Part Five," Wonder Woman faces a new threat as the mystery of the Sear group deepens. With Steve Trevor by her side and the Lasso of Truth in hand, Diana uncovers a chilling connection between the attacks and the ancient god Ares—whose true hand may be guiding the chaos from the shadows.
In "Interlude," Barbara Ann Minerva’s relentless quest for truth takes her from ancient ruins to forgotten temples, driven by a discovery that could rewrite history. As she uncovers fragments of a lost civilization, her path crosses with Lord Cavendish, Ms McLeod, Doctor Martins, and Viktor Yakuvic—each drawn into a mystery that tests their beliefs and ambitions.
