Absolute Wonder Woman, Vol. 1

Diana of Themyscira grows up far from any island paradise in this reimagining of Wonder Woman. As a baby she is exiled to the underworld, and an enemy raises her there. No sisterhood shapes her and no mission of peace guides her.

The darkness does not break her. Tragedy, danger and magic hone her into a formidable weapon, and she is long denied her Amazonian heritage. Now the time has come for her to rejoin the surface world, carrying new weapons forged in Hell.

Her purpose has changed along with her past. Her mission looks more like justice than peace, and she means to save the world while finding where she belongs, even if she has to carve out that place herself.

This is a superhero comic set in the Absolute Universe, a darker side of the DC Universe born from the events of Absolute Power. Kelly Thompson writes and Hayden Sherman draws. The volume collects issues 1 to 7 of Absolute Wonder Woman and rebuilds the character from the ground up, with a harsher tone than the usual version of Diana.
