WONDER WOMAN #14
A long time coming, Gail Simone’s first issue of Wonder Woman (#14) hits next week, and DC Comics has provided Newsarama with your first look inside its pages.
Back in April, when we announced Simone as the new writer on the series, Simone described Wonder Woman and the challenges writing the character as: “The book is about the best goddamned warrior planet Earth has ever known, and she happens to carry a mystical arsenal around just for the hell of it.
“If a writer can’t make that interesting and fun, they really shouldn’t be writing superheroes.
“There are layers upon layers of the character, and we’ll get to them all. But let’s just make it very clear that Diana is the premiere asskicker in the DCU, period. Batman and Superman have other things that make them special. Diana is the one who occasionally carries an axe if someone gives her lip.
“This is actually in my first issue, but the quote is, ‘When a giant robot attacks Metropolis, send Superman. An alien attack? Get Green Lantern. When a car is hijacked by an escaped loony, turn on the bat signal, by all means. But if an ARMY shows up on your doorstep, that’s when you call in Wonder Woman.’”
Simone is joined on the series by the husband/wife art team of Terry and Rachel Dodson.
The solicitation for the issue reads:
An electrifying new era begins for the world's greatest superheroine! Gail Simone (BIRDS OF PREY, SECRET SIX) joins the phenomenal art team of Terry and Rachel Dodson for what promises to be one of the most exciting Wonder Woman stories ever told!
What exactly is The Circle, and what deadly secret do they hold about Diana's birth? What familiar face from Wonder Woman's past returns with a mission to spy on Special Agent Diana Prince? Why is the Department of Metahuman Affairs on a collision course with the wounded remnants of the Society of Super-Villains? You won't want to miss any of this story that spans the globe and shakes Diana to her core!
DC Universe | 32pg. | Color | $2.99 US
