Wonder Woman #95

In "Poisons, Claws, and Death! Part 2," Wonder Woman #95 (1995) delivers a tense, character-driven escalation as old debts come due and Diana’s captor makes a risky move to help her escape. With Paulie Longo pressing the White Magician on a long-standing promise and Artemis confronting the cost of her unflinching approach, the stakes rise in this gripping installment written by William Messner-Loebs and illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr., with colors by Patricia Mulvihill and letters by John Costanza. Brian Bolland’s striking cover captures the issue’s dark intensity.
