Wonder Woman 1984 Tie-in Comic by Louise Simonson et al.

Hollywood Reporter (and Bleeding Cool, where I found it) tells of a Wonder Woman 1984 tie-in comic to be released in September via Walmart.

Wonder Woman 1984 No. 1, which is set to debut in Walmart stores before a wide release the following week, will feature two stories. In the first, Louise Simonson (The Death of Superman, X-Factor) and Wonder Woman 1984 associate producer Anna Obropta co-write a direct lead-in to the movie, illustrated by Bret Blevins, as Wonder Woman has to deal with a hostage situation at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History; the second story, by Steve Pugh and Marguerite Sauvage, sees a villain attempt to steal Diana’s lasso for nefarious ends.

I'm tentatively positive about this. I'm not that hot on the way Simonson writes Diana, but if Obropta brings strong ideas I think it might sense to pair her with a veteran writer. Pugh's story in Agent of Peace #6 was too short to say anything from. I haven't read Blevins, but having more Diana by Sauvage is a hell yes.

Simonson wrote one of the better Agent of Peace stories, at least compared to the Connor/Palmiotti ones, but I don't really go for these kinds of tie-in stories.
