“Powerplay”

In "Powerplay," George Pérez and Len Wein deliver a gripping showdown as Steve Trevor races to stop General Tolliver from igniting global conflict, while Diana confronts Ares himself—using the Lasso of Truth to force him to face the devastating consequences of his own ambition. With Pérez’s dynamic art and Tatjana Wood’s vivid colors, this 1987 classic captures the stakes of war, deception, and the fragile line between power and purpose. The cover, penciled and inked by Pérez, perfectly encapsulates the tension at the heart of the issue.
