So, looks like in november (going from number 781) there will be a new back-up written by Vita Ayala and Skylar Patridge. I thought we could discuss it and especulate here
What will it be? Maybe it's an Artemis series?

The december solicits mention the Bana migdhall fighting a Manticore so it's almost certain to star Artemis. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Phil Jimenez run was the only other time that the Wonder Family got to be in a backup for the main book right?
Well, there have been 2 precedents:
-That time during the Silver Age where "Wonder Girl" aka young Diana starred as co-star
-That other time during the 80s when Donna Troy had some stories, I dont remember the exact numbers tho
Oh right, I forgot about the Wonder Girl back up in the silver age. I've never read that Donna Troy back up you alude to. Thanks for the intel
Ah the Wonder Tot/Wonder Girl backups from the 50s, i suppose those would count.
Donna Troy only had one backup, and I guess a few more...Theres other examples like that two part Hippolyta backup that got cancelled partway in, or I guess you could even count that decade in the 70s where the back half of every issue of Wonder Woman starred Huntress, the daughter of Batman.
But gosh has it been a long time since they were a thing.
The most recent Young Diana was quite cute and established Hippolyta and Philipus' couple status. Im looking forward to a Bana backup since the main writers talked about acnowledging the Young Diana one as part of the canon
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
Ok, NOW I can speculate freely
Well, it really seems that is going to be around Artemis and Bana Mighdall amazons. I suppose the question now is, how long will it be? Until Trial of the Amazons? Because Jordie Bellaire is credited as one of the authors on the event, and Young Diana has already promised to come back on 2022. Buuuuut they need to do enough numbers to at least allow a good ol' tpb
I think the saga begins in March or April, once the Nubia mini-series and the Image Maker saga finish.
This other backup story will build the way to the Trial Saga, and for the event I think the villain will be Circe and perhaps the character who killed/rape Antiope in Young Diana.
I imagine it will probably be shorter than YD.
Looking forward to if Ayala will flesh out the Bana more like the Nubia book.
Looks like the back up will run from #781 til #784

#784 takes it up to February. Since this is probably lead up to Trial of the Amazons, I imagine March will be when that event starts and why this is on the short side.
