Wonder Woman: Dead Earth: Absolute Edition

A warrior awakens to a broken world—Wonder Woman fights for redemption in a powerful post-apocalyptic epic.

The Earth is dead. After an event called the Great Fire scorched the planet, what remains of humanity has reverted to tribal societies who live in fear of mutated creatures called Haedras.

When a weakened, amnesiac Diana awakens from stasis to this shocking new world, she realizes that she has failed her mission to protect humankind and sets out to right this wrong. As she discovers more about her strange new home, she encounters new allies and old enemies. And as her memories return, she comes to understand that sometimes the ability to forgive can be more powerful than brute strength.

This oversize Absolute edition features the entire four-issue series written and illustrated by Daniel Warren Johnson (Murder Falcon, Beta Ray Bill) and includes a new introduction, character sketches, the series outline, scans of all the original ink Pages, stickers, and more—all presented in a collectible clamshell hard case.
