☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Swan Song," George Pérez delivers a powerful chapter of Wonder Woman’s journey as Diana is captured and brought to the island of Aeaea by Circe’s beasts. With the goddess Hecate’s influence looming, Circe prepares a spell to undo Diana’s very essence—only for Julia and the rebels to arrive, disrupting the plan just in time. The story unfolds with emotional weight and mythic stakes, illustrated with precision by Pérez and McLaughlin, and colored with depth by Carl Gafford. The cover, a striking piece by Pérez, captures the moment’s tension in bold, expressive lines.
In "Swan Song," Wonder Woman grapples with unexpected emotions stirred by a dream encounter with Superman, even as she prepares for a charity fair in her honor. When Solomon Buchman kidnaps Maxine Sterenbuch, he reveals a shocking truth: her pen pal, Valerie Beaudry, has been transformed into the Silver Swan, a woman with dangerous sonic powers. As the fair unfolds, the experiment's dark purpose takes shape when Valerie, now the Silver Swan, turns her abilities against Wonder Woman.
In "Bird of Paradise / Bird of Prey!", Wonder Woman races after the Silver Swan through the skies above Boston, their clash ending in a tense standoff that leaves both warriors unsettled. Meanwhile, Diana confides in Vanessa Kapatelis about her complicated feelings for Superman, prompting a plan to arrange a meeting with Myndi Mayer, while an unseen pursuer stalks Hermes through the halls of Olympus.
In "Traces," Wonder Woman and Vanessa Kapatelis journey to Greece, where Diana is called home by a message from her mother, Hippolyte. As she explores ancient sacred sites, Diana’s presence draws the gaze of a shadowy figure, while on Olympus, Zeus begins to orchestrate a grand migration of the gods.
In Greece, Wonder Woman is drawn into a volatile conflict as ancient forces stir beneath the surface—both mortal and divine. With the sons of Chronus forging a new alliance and Circe’s influence spreading through the island, Diana must navigate a web of loyalty and betrayal, facing off against a monstrous army as tensions explode into open war.
In "The Witch on the Island," Wonder Woman is captured and brought to the mystical isle of Aeaea, where Circe, allied with the goddess Hecate, seeks to deepen the rift between men and women through ancient magic. As Circe prepares a spell to unmake Diana from the clay of her creation, Julia Kapatelis and the rebels launch a daring assault on the lair, disrupting the ritual just as divine forces intervene.
In "Who Killed Myndi Mayer?", Wonder Woman teams up with Inspector Ed Indelicato to unravel the mystery behind the sudden death of high-profile publicist Myndi Mayer, following a trail that leads through a web of secrets and suspects—including Lt. Mike Shands, Capt. Ablamsky, and Chrissie Fenton—only to uncover a truth far more unexpected than either of them could have guessed.
In "Cosmic Migration," Wonder Woman, alongside Hippolyte and Menalippe, is called to Olympus to aid the divine pantheon in a desperate mission: to repair and reforge their shattered realm so they can embark on a cosmic migration, seeking a new home among the stars. With the fate of the gods hanging in the balance, Diana must navigate ancient powers and celestial upheaval as the Olympians prepare to leave their sacred realm behind.
In "Part 2: Dust," Wonder Woman and the Amazons confront a haunting memory as Hippolyte recalls a journey with her sister and the fallen queen Hypsipyle of Lemnos—where aid offered to a people in need led only to tragedy. The past echoes through the present as Diana and her companions face the weight of history, loyalty, and the fragile line between salvation and ruin.
In "Part 5: Flight of the Icarus," Diana recounts to Hippolyte how she and Steve Trevor, alongside Lieutenant Etta Candy and others, uncovered a dangerous conspiracy at a military contractor, testing the limits of trust and duty. With the weight of past betrayals and the looming shadow of Icarus’s legacy, the mission takes a sudden, unexpected turn that challenges everything Diana thought she knew.
In a bold move that reshapes the course of history, Wonder Woman stands before the United Nations to announce the opening of Themyscira to the world—only for Lord Hermes to descend in a flash of divine arrogance. But even gods are not immune to deception, and as Hermes’s pride blinds him, he walks straight into a trap orchestrated by Phobos and Euryale, setting off a chain of events that will test the limits of power, loyalty, and what it truly means to be a god among men.
With Hermes' caduceus in their hands, Phobos and Euryale awaken the deadly Ixion the Assassin, unleashing chaos in the heart of the city. Wonder Woman arrives to face the threat, confronting Phobos while Hermes works to reclaim his power—just as allies like Lt. Etta Candy and Maj. Baines close in from the ground.
