Wonder Woman by Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang Compendium

Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang’s landmark run reimagines Wonder Woman for the groundbreaking New 52 era—now collected in one compendium!

Her fellow countrywomen treat Diana like an outcast, unworthy of a place among their ranks no matter how hard she fights for justice as Wonder Woman in the outside world.
