Steve Orlando is back

[AmiMizuno]

As Wonder Woman and her compatriots travel through the broken realm, Diana relates the story of the real first time she left Themyscira…and traveled with her mother to a bizarre alternate version of their home, where Empress Hippolyta reigned with an iron fist! But the Empress didn’t take too kindly to their territorial incursion…and so Diana was forced to watch as her mother battled for her life against the worst possible version of herself! What other secrets did Dimension Chi conceal? And have any of them followed Diana back to our universe? Find out in this tale by guest-writer Steve Orlando that delivers a crucial piece of G. Willow Wilson’s epic storyline!

Just from the premise I was wondering if this was going to explain more about the fake New 52 Themyscira.

That's where my mind went as well.

Good theory! Although if true, I hope we never see the New 52 cast again after this. Leave it dead and buried as it should be after all of the damage that was done to Wonder Woman's brand because of it.

The New 52 Amazons is one strong possibility, but I think there are two strikes against it. The first is that we already re-visited them back in Rucka's Rebirth run, so returning to them would feel a bit redundant. The second is the reference to "Empress Hippolyta". One possibility I'm mulling over is that we get to see a world where the Amazons turned to conquest after they freed themselves from slavery, but I'm sure there are lots more possible options that Orlando and Wilson could have thought up.

I wonder if instead of the New 52 Amazons, this is about Superwoman's Amazons from Earth 3(Crime Syndicate's Earth)?
