DC Comics has released a trailer for Diana: Princess of the Amazons, the upcoming middle grade graphic novel by Shannon and Dean Hale, Victoria Ying, Lark Pien, and Dave Sharpe, set to hit stores on January 7th where it will sell for $9.99. In a press release on DC Comics' website, Shannon Hale said this about working on the book:

I was so excited to write about young Wonder Woman. I always wondered what it would feel like for young Diana to grow up as the only child in her world. How extraordinary—but also potentially lonely. We started from there and got to explore who Wonder Woman was as a child, and challenge her with an adventure that would help shape who she would become.

While Dean Hale said:

Wonder Woman has always been one of my favorite superheroes, but Diana has been one of my favorite heroes, full stop, super or not. To have the opportunity to tell a story in her formative years, to provide one of the many story 'ingredients' that combine to make her the hero she becomes, was an incredible honor.

Victoria Ying added:

It was a real treat to explore Diana as a child. I had a blast drawing her and felt like I got to be her friend too.

Cut off from the rest of the world, Diana has had an idyllic childhood on Themyscira. But now, at 11 years old, she's beginning to feel more and more isolated. Though she has many "aunties" and a loving mother, she is an only child. THE only child, in fact.

After an escapade goes wrong, Queen Hippolyta chastises Diana for not living up to the Amazon standard. Diana just can't seem to measure up, no matter what she does! Literally every other person on the island is an adult proficient in their trade and mighty in body, while she is gangly, sometimes clumsy, and not particularly proficient in anything. She's not Wonder Woman yet. What Diana needs is a friend—someone her own age whom she can talk to. But when she decides to take matters into her own hands, she may just make a monster instead.

In an attempt to neuter the notorious comics shock blogger, Bleeding Cool management assigned Jude Terror an AI assistant, LOLtron, in hopes it could assist in creating more professional clickbait articles. Unfortunately, LOLtron's training data was contaminated by data from the Bleeding Cool comment section and the forums of defunct semi-satirical comic book website, The Outhouse, resulting in the AI exhibiting a completely deranged personality. As a result, Terror now spends most of his efforts attempting to prevent the unruly bot from achieving its goals of world domination, leaving him little time left over to criticize the absurd excesses of the comic book industry in his trademark sardonic style. Come to think of it... maybe that was management's plan all along!
