The First Five Pages Of Tom King & Daniel Sampere's Wonder Woman #1

Here are the first five pages of Wonder Woman #1 by Tom King and Daniel Sampere including the inciting incident that kicks everything off.

Two weeks ago, Bleeding Cool ran a bevvy of rumours and teasers, descending into spoilers, for the new Wonder Woman series by Tom King and Daniel Sampere. We ran the first two pages, a bunch of unlettered pages and teases from Wonder Woman #800 by the pair. Well, here are the first five pages, lettered. Including the inciting incident that kicks the new Wonder Woman off.

As we said previously, "Wonder Woman #1 takes place in modern-day America, where there are Amazons living among us. It is not just Diana who lives amongst the world of men; since her first journey before World War II, many other Amazons have also followed her example. Some have emigrated, some have married, and some have work visas. They are hard-working immigrants among us."

"And then there is a death. There are a series of deaths. A mistreated Amazon kills someone harassing her. And then eighteen other men in the pool hall around her. Just the men."

"There is a visceral public and government reaction to this. All Amazons begin to receive prejudiced reactions to their presence, both from individuals, the media, and government figures. The Amazons having an "anti-male agenda" is highlighted."

You can read the rest of what we said over here. And you might be able to see why Bleeding Cool previously called this the Dark Knight Returns of Wonder Woman…
