One of the better-reviewed iterations of Wonder Woman recently has been the Eisner-nominated digital first series Legends Of Wonder Woman. It was written and pencilled by Renae De Liz and inked, coloured and lettered by her husband Ray Dillon. Published digitally every week of two weeks, it was collected as a nine-issue print series, then collected in a hardcover a few weeks ago. The second part of the story was due to begin any day now and the creative team had been hard at it after a DC PR interview announced that the second volume had been greenlit in June.

thank you! And good news, were starting Legend of Wonder Woman Vol. 2 right now! :)

That is no longer to be. Even though she was halfway through…

Renae De Liz posted on Twitter a series of statements.

I am sad to announce Legend of Wonder Woman pt 2 has been cancelled. I am surprised & devastated I won't be able to finish the project.

I am very grateful to DC for the opportunity to work with such an iconic character over the last few years, that was a joy like none other

I am so sorry to fans of LoWW, as the story is left unfinished, and there were so many fun adventure to be told.

We love superheroes because they stand up for what is right. We teach our kids to do the same. Sometimes it just doesnt work out when you do

I am. I had no idea it was going to happen. I was in the middle of drawing part 2.

Thanks, Tim :) Well you certainly made the experience of the first Volume so much more enjoyable with your reviews. Thank you.

Thanks. I see good things on the horizon, but at the moment, it's all rather bleak looking.

It also looks to be joining the likes of Top Ten Season 2 and Prez as highly acclaimed DC Comics titles that never gave us their partially completed second volume.

She also ran some layouts from the planned series…

As a love letter to the fans of Legend of Wonder Woman who patiently awaited Part 2, here's an icy villain for ya :) pic.twitter.com/3RDEV4as2P
