Wonder Woman Vol. 5: The Wonder War Act I

Wonder Woman faces the next evolution of her legend as Tom King and Daniel Sampere’s modern epic continues into its most powerful act: The Wonder War!

The Matriarch commences her crusade to rule over the DC Universe. As heroes and villains alike fall to her insurmountable power, Wonder Woman and her daughter Trinity must unite to save all that they hold dear. Time’s up for the princesses of Themyscira, and the Queen of America will not rest until they bow to her will.

As allies fall one by one, it's up to Trinity to stop the Matriarch. Can the daughter of Wonder Woman finally live up to the name and all the pressures that come with it?

The Eisner-nominated creative duo of Tom King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) and Daniel Sampere (Dark Crisis) is back for the most riveting installment of their Wonder Woman epic yet!

Plus, the origin of Wonder Woman as you’ve never seen it before, told through the eyes of the man who loved her—Steve Trevor! Could Diana’s past hold the key to saving the future? From rising star writer Stephanie Williams (Nubia and the Amazons) and epic artist Clayton Henry (Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent).
