Zealot Cosplays As Wonder Woman – And Starro? Urban Legends Spoilers

Published Tue, 10 Aug 2021 07:39:12 -0500

Spoiler time! You have been warned! In Batman: Urban Legends #6, Zealot returns… properly The Batman anthology series Batman: Urban Legends has been telling stories of Grifter, the Jim Lee, and Brandon Choi-created character from WildCATS, who was reintroduced to the DC Universe in the Batman comic book. DC Comics has teased several other WildStorm characters arriving in the DC Universe. Still, their August solicitations promised Zealot, taking over the Grifter feature in Batman: Urban Legends in August with issue 6. Being sent by the HALO Corporation, of which we have heard a little of late. With a mission to take out Maxwell Lord, but going up against someone who is a bit of a zealot herself on occasion, and has beheaded Maxwell Lord herself back in a prior continuity, Wonder Woman. And then she popped by the comic book a little early a couple of months back.

This time, however? In the towers named after WildCATS artist Travis Charest, she has a brand new look for the occasion.

Well, clearly, with Comic-Cons on hold, Zealot has to take her cosplay opportunities as and when she can.

Just with a sword in each hand and no need for a shield. Which is even worse news than usual for Maxwell Lord.

So naturally the real Wonder Woman has to turn up and confront her double.

And reveals that they have a shared history.

Of course, if everything happened and everything mattered, maybe that includes a certain Wildstorm/DC Comics crossover back in the day… and that day being 2008, courtesy of Keith Giffen, Lee Garbett, and Trevor Scott.

There wasn't so much conflict between them then, just a Starro ripped off the face. Which is suddenly a lot more topical than it used to be…
