Big Changes Coming To Wonder Woman & Amazons For Dawn Of DC (Spoilers)
Revenge Of The Gods, gets backed into Lazarus Planet with the upcoming Dawn Of DC with big changes coming to Wonder Woman,
"After the events of Lazarus Planet, the gods of the Multiverse have decided to take down the heroes they once called champions and the world they've sworn to protect. For years the gods sat idle atop their mountains as their legends faded into obscurity along with their bodies. Now is their time to remind the selfish mortals of their existence and take back the world with something more powerful than belief…fear. Only the brave heroes Wonder Woman and Shazam stand in their way, but will their combined powers be enough?"
This week's Lazarus Planet: Revenge Of The Gods #1 by G. Willow Wilson, Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, Cian Tormey and Alitha Martinez begins a new crossover event, Revenge Of The Gods, that gets backed into Lazarus Planet by DC Comics. And looks to join the events of Lazarus Planet with the upcoming Dawn Of DC publishing plan, and indicates rather big changes coming to Wonder Woman, the Amazons and Paradise Island, Themyscira. And there's a threat to the Amazons that comes from, well, public opinion. It looks like Themyscira is going to be cancelled, quite literally.
And it appears that a choice is going to have to be made, as to the future of Wonder Woman and her place in the DC Comics cosmos.
And Wonder Woman being forced to choose between the two worlds once more. As the solicits for the upcoming Wonder Woman #797 says, "After Diana's shocking choice to align herself with the gods, her world has changed. Could godhood be the answer to all her problems?" And that choice is made for the rest of the Thmyscirians, including Nubia, Queen of its people, who have to deal with this from the other direction,
Here's what's coming down the Themyscira pipe…
