Wonder Woman

In 2012, DC Comics relaunched Wonder Woman under its New 52 initiative, with writer Brian Azzarello and artists Cliff Chiang and Tony Akins steering the Amazon princess into a bold new direction. This six-issue Urban Comics run reimagined her mythology, grounding her in a gritty, horror-tinged world of Greek gods and family intrigue. Azzarello’s take reframed Diana as a fierce, reluctant warrior caught in a celestial power struggle, while Chiang’s sleek, expressive art gave the series a distinct visual identity. It remains a defining, divisive era that stripped away decades of continuity to forge a raw, modern Wonder Woman.
