Wonder Woman by Mike Deodato #[nn]

In "Homeward Gazings [The Contest Part 1]," Wonder Woman faces the weight of her choices as she stands before her mother, Queen Hippolyte, and the Amazon warriors—Jocasta, Mala, Helen, and Hadja—recounting the brutal battle against a demon invasion. With tensions rising and the past echoing in the present, Hippolyte calls for a new Contest, testing Diana’s resolve and the strength of her people.

In "The Blind Eyes of Time [The Contest: Part 2]," Wonder Woman finds herself drawn to the village of the Bana-Mighdall Amazons, where her presence stirs echoes of the past. As Diana confronts visions of Antiope—her ancestor and the legendary warrior—she is haunted by a dreamlike memory that blurs the line between past and present. With Queen Hippolyta’s wisdom and the fierce presence of Artemis and Mala, the truth of her lineage begins to unfold in ways she never expected.

In the final stretch of the great contest, Julianna Sazia pushes forward with ruthless determination, while Diana and Artemis each fight to claim their place in the arena’s legacy. As shadows from the past resurface—through a haunting flashback—Diana uncovers a secret about her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and Herakles that threatens to unravel everything she thought she knew.

In the final stretch of the Contest, Wonder Woman races across perilous terrain alongside Artemis, Mala, and other warriors, as Julianna Sazia tightens her grip on power. With rivalries tested and ancient secrets stirring, Diana uncovers the truth behind the rift between the Amazon tribes—revealing a past that reshapes everything she thought she knew.

In "Violent Beginnings," Princess Diana steps into the role of Wonder Woman with a new edge, confronting Boston’s rising crime wave as she grapples with her Amazon upbringing and the harsh realities of a city in turmoil. With allies like Etta Candy and Julia Kapatelis at her side, and figures like Inspector Indelicato and the Brassalton brothers pulling strings in the shadows, Diana must redefine justice on her own terms—no longer bound by tradition, but driven by a need to act.

Cheshire, Poison Ivy, and the Cheetah are back—freed from jail, exile, and a strange dimension—and now they’re on a dangerous mission for Julianna Sazia, targeting Paulie Longo. But Longo’s not defenseless: he’s hired Diana, the former Wonder Woman, to protect him, setting up a clash of wits, claws, and ancient power.

In "Poisons, Claws and Death Part II," Diana faces a reckoning as an old ally aids her escape from captivity, while Paulie Longo presses the White Magician to honor a long-standing debt. Meanwhile, Artemis confronts the cost of her unflinching honesty as tensions rise among the fractured group.

In "Joker's Holiday," the Joker descends on Boston with a twisted agenda, teaming up with Julianna Sazia as chaos unfolds across the city. With the White Magician's monstrous creations running rampant, Wonder Woman and Cheetah must set aside their differences to confront the threat—while Inspector Indelicato, Moot, Geoff, Paulie Longo, Cassie Arnold, and the mysterious Exploiter all play their parts in a city on the edge.
