In Wonder Woman #37, “The Wonder War” continues! Steve Trevor and his daughter Trinity arrive in the present after a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Matriarch 20 years in the future. Now they must find Wonder Woman and convince her of the threat a seemingly innocent child will pose in the years to come. Will the truth prevail? Don’t miss the exciting first chapter of “The Wonder War Act 2”!
Wonder Woman #37, written by Tom King with art and cover by Daniel Sampere, will feature variant covers by David Nakayama, Kyuyong Eom, and Mahmud A. Asrar. This first chapter of “The Wonder War Act 2” publishes on September 16 with a main cover priced at $4.99 US and card stock variant covers priced at $5.99 US.
In Wonder Woman Annual: Wonder War – The Matriarch #1, we witness the Matriarch’s inferno. After the shocking events of Wonder Woman #34, the Matriarch must crawl her way through Hell and back to the land of the living to stop Steve Trevor and Trinity from changing the past. The only thing that stands in her way is a river filled with the souls of heroes and villains alike who perished by her hand. Retribution is coming for the Matriarch. Will she survive it, or is she doomed to fate?
Wonder Woman Annual: Wonder War – The Matriarch #1, written by Stephanie Williams and Leah Williams with art by Eduardo Pansica and Belén Ortega and a cover by Daniel Sampere, will feature variant covers by Kyuyong Eom, Guillem March, and Leirix. This 48-page special publishes on September 30 with a main cover priced at $5.99 US and card stock variant covers priced at $6.99 US.
“In the Matriarch Special, Leah and I are exploring a single motif: conviction versus doubt,” said Stephanie Williams. “The Fates take Lyssa’s Green Lantern ring and send her alone onto the Phlegethon, the River of Fire she was warned about as a girl. This leaves her isolated, compelled to confront her own fears and uncertainties. We’re intentionally paralleling the events of ‘The Wonder War Act 2’ that begins earlier in September. While Tom and Dani fight the external war in Wonder Woman #37, Eduardo, Belén, Leah and I are following Lyssa’s internal struggle after she chooses fate over freedom.”
