How Wonder Woman’s New Series Leads Into Amazons Attack
Diana Prince’s new Dawn of DC series officially launches on Sept. 19 from writer Tom King and artist Daniel Sampere. Solicitation information for the series’ first issue indicates an Amazon Safety Act, which restricts any and all Amazons from entering the United States, will be passed after a mysterious Amazonian is accused of murder. Diana will have to uncover the truth behind the murder, all while dealing with a dangerous task force instructed to remove all Amazonian “threats” by any means necessary.
Solicitation information for the second issue further hints that Diana will have to battle Steve Trevor in order to restore proper balance to the world.
