written by LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON

art and cover by LEILA DEL DUCA

Princess Diana of Themyscira believes that her 16th birthday will be one of new beginnings—namely, acceptance into the warrior tribe of the Amazons. But her birthday celebrations are cut short when rafts carrying refugees break through the barrier that separates her island home from the outside world. When Diana defies the Amazons to try to bring the outsiders to safety, she finds herself swept away by the stormy sea. Cut off from everything she’s ever known, Diana herself becomes a refugee in an unfamiliar land.
Now Diana must survive in the world beyond Themyscira for the first time—a world that is filled with danger and injustice unlike anything she’s ever experienced.
With new battles to be fought and new friends to be made, she must redefine what it means to belong, to be an Amazon, and to make a difference.
From New York Times bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson (Speak) and acclaimed artist Leila del Duca (Shutter), Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed is a story about growing into your strength, fighting for justice, and finding home.

I find the first bill for #750 to be strange. I thought they'd be big on selling that the book was written by some big names, but they put the newer names in front.

Super cool to see a Steve Trevor TP, probably 'cause of the movie. Anxious to see what his new history and place in Diana's history will be starting with #750.

Similarly, we get a Maxwell Lord TP 'cause of the movie.

Huge HC for Diana for $40, will probably grab that as well.

Dead Earth #3



Wonder Woman #755

[KangMiRae]

Wonder Woman #756

[PopQuezy]

So it looks like the four horse women are Warmaster, Genocide, Devastation, and a female Armageddon (?), I'm guessing based on design and the ax. While I'm so happy to get more Wonder rogues and I LOVE Genocide and Deva's new designs, this feels a lot like the Bloodlines movie with different rogues. I hope Wondy can start saving the world again and not just the Amazons.

It does feel like she's stuck there ever since Wilson's run... Kinda getting annoying. But it sounds like with Maxima, Orlando's gonna have her leave Earth soon enough.

Also, please, enough with Diana getting beaten and saved by someone else. Holy crap....

[SJNeal]

While I'm stoked to see so many WW releases, the one I'm most looking forward to is the Messner-Loebs collection.

Odd that they changed the name from Wonder Woman by William Messner-Loebs Vol. 1, which would have fit with the other "By..." collections. Must have something to do with DC's new stance on trades with numbered spines not selling... *eyeroll*

[Nyssane]

I'm a bit meh about Genocide and Devastation (have no idea who Armageddon even is). But I guess at least someone's doing something with them?

I'm a little surprised they didn't throw the White Magician and the First Born in there too.

EDIT: Nevermind! I remember Armageddon. I don't think that's supposed to be a female version of him. Maybe a new villain?

[kjn]

I looked over the art situation for future solicits:

#85: Jan Duursema
#86: Max Raynor
#753: Max Raynor
#754: V Ken Marion
#755: Jesus Merino and Vicente Cifuentes
#756: Jesus Merino and Vicente Cifuentes

Seems like they have replaced the unplanned chaos for art that was during Wilson's run with a planned chaos during Orlando's run… four different artists for six issues.

[KangMiRae]

I suppose it was wishful thinking to assume DC would streamline her book with more efficiency post #750, but maybe they have plans to do that (for everyone) after 5G begins.

Makes me question how long Orlando will be on the main book, actually. Writing Diana, at least. I still hold the notion that Snyder is going to take Diana by the end of the year.

It is a new female version of Armageddon. Orlando confirmed it today on Twitter.

[SiegePerilous02]

The name "Armageddon" is certainly in good company with the likes of Warmaster, Genocide and Devastation

Can't say I'm thrilled to see the latter two back over some other choices, but I can't complain too much because it's refreshing to see an author want to make such deep cuts with their choices. And at least they are building up to an appearance from Gundra. Still would have preferred a revamped Mavis as part of Paula's entourage over Devastation or Genocide (...unless Mavis IS the new Armageddon o.0)

I agree on Devastation and Genocide. Orlando is one of the few writers that actually doesn't make me want to cringe about them being brought back. I'm thrilled to see Paula and Armageddon though. I loved Armageddon appearance in Phil Jimenez's run on the book.

[FutureWonder]

Who is Armageddon??? That looks like a female version of Doomsday.
I know that "doomsday" is somewhat of a synonym of "doomsday, but was Doomsday called Armageddon in a DC story that I missed?
