Wonder Woman: The Contest #[nn]

In "Homeward Gazings," Wonder Woman returns to Themyscira to face the weight of her choices, as her mother Queen Hippolyte calls for a new contest to test her worth. Amid the Amazons—Jocasta, Mala, Helen, and Hadja—and the lingering echoes of a demon invasion, Diana must defend her recent actions while confronting the past, including a haunting flashback involving Circe.

In "The Contest, Part 2: The Blind Eyes of Time," Wonder Woman journeys to the village of the Bana-Mighdall Amazons, where her striking resemblance to their legendary ancestress Antiope triggers a haunting vision that blurs past and present. As Diana confronts echoes of Antiope’s legacy among the fierce warriors Mala and Trigona, the line between memory and destiny begins to unravel.

In the final stretch of the Last, Great Game, Julianna Sazia pushes forward through the mob while Diana and Artemis close in on victory. As the contest intensifies, Diana confronts a chilling revelation from a past she thought she knew—her mother’s secrets and a shadowed truth about Herakles that threatens everything she believed.

In the final clash of *The Contest: Conclusion*, Wonder Woman races against time and old wounds as Julianna Sazia tightens her grip on power. With rivalries laid bare and the past unearthed, Diana uncovers the long-buried truth behind the rift between the Amazon tribes—just as the finish line looms ahead.

In "Violent Beginnings," Princess Diana steps into her role as Wonder Woman with a raw, unfiltered edge, confronting Boston’s brutal turf wars head-on. As she grapples with the weight of Amazon ideals and the harsh realities of the streets, Diana must navigate uneasy alliances and rising tensions—especially with Cassie Arnold and Inspector Indelicato—while proving that strength and justice don’t always come in silence.
