DC Comics' "Death" Of Wonder Woman For Infinite Frontier (Spoilers)

We've been looking ahead at DC Infinite Frontier – and especially the #0 issue, which is going to FOC this weekend. You can catch up with a few of them here and debate their veracity as usual on the internet and call me whatever names you wish.

At the end of Death Metal #7, Wonder Woman died. Um, spoilers. It may not have been entirely clear, and indeed she's explicitly told that's not what happened – but in Infinite Frontier #0, it's basically that.  Sacrificing herself as part of the cost of resetting the multiverse, the Omniverse, in the eyes of The Hands who were all ready to be done with the place. And those left behind her in mourning.

So how is she in Infinite Frontier #0? The solicitation says that "Beyond the mortal world, Wonder Woman settles into a new role in the godsphere" while in Wonder Woman #770, it reads "it's just another day in Valhalla! The warriors here spend their days fighting and their nights drinking—and if they die in combat they'll be resurrected in time for the party. Strange, though, that no one seems surprised to see Wonder Woman in this crowd. It's up to Diana to find out why things are going wrong in the Sphere of the Gods—and whether it has anything to do with what landed her in the Norse afterlife."

Which is why we have seen Wonder Woman's new, ethereal look. She's no longer on the mortal sphere, and she's going on an Infinite Frontier tour by The Spectre in a Books Of Magic style, as she has choices.

The timeline has been reset, and all of history is remembered. Wonder Woman is "The One", she could ascend to godhood on Olympus. Or she could join the Quintessence, alongside Phantom Stranger, Spectre, Highfather, Mamaragan, Hera and Ganthet, that lot. And so… she prevaricates. And since she's read all the 5G books that may or may not come to pass, she wants a look at what comes next before making her choice.

Of course that also involves a tonne of Themyscirians jostling to be the New Wonder Woman even as they mourn her. She's not even cold…
