“Different Worlds”

In "Different Worlds," John Byrne and George Pérez deliver a mythic showdown as Hermes calls Wonder Woman to Olympus, only for Superman to arrive moments later—separated by a cosmic rift. The two heroes, each arriving in different parts of the godly realm, face Darkseid’s manipulation as he toys with their loyalty and strength. The cover, a stunning collaborative effort by Byrne, Schaffenberger, Giordano, Swan, Mignola, and others, captures the epic scale of the confrontation.

Hermes summons Wonder Woman to Olympus from her romantic meeting with Superman, and the Man of Steel follows, but they arrive in different locations. After Hermes explains to Diana that Olympus has been taken over by Darkseid, the New God toys with the heroes, making them battle, as he discusses with Desaad his plans. When Superman and Wonder Woman find Darkseid and point out that he has conquered nothing as the Olympians abandoned their home, Darkseid sets off explosives throughout Olympus and leaves. But Olympus immediately regenerates and Wonder Woman and Superman return home as friends.
