Nubia, the first Black Wonder Woman, has long been an obscure favorite of Wonder Woman fans. Now, with the character’s 80th Anniversary on the way, DC Comics is giving Nubia her own comics series. That and other news from DC Comics’ San Diego Comic-Con 2021 Wonder Woman panel right here.
It’s been a wonder of a year for Wonder Woman. From the introduction of Wonder Girl Yara Flor to Diana’s trip to the Norse afterlife, the lassoed lady of truth plans to continue her dominion over the DC multiverse. As Wonder Woman prepares to celebrate her 80-year anniversary on October 21, DC prepares to pull out all the stops. Some of Wonder Woman’s current slate of writers and artists joined to discuss her future at San Diego Comic-Con. Writers Becky Cloonan and Michael Conrad kicked off the panel with an update about their series, Wonder Woman. In Wonder Woman, Cloonan and Conrad joined artist Travis Moore in the ambitious reimagining of Greek mythology. With the events of Infinite Frontier #0, Wonder Woman has left the mortal realm to explore the Sphere of the Gods, where Cloonan and Conrad trapped her in the Norse afterlife. So far, the series has taken us on quite the journey. Diana’s found herself alongside some DC Universe favorites like Deadman (Boston Brand) and the telepathic Doctor Psycho. In Wonder Woman #774, readers got a glimpse at a destroyed Olympus, and after a battle of wits against the Keeper of the Grounds, Diana now prepares to face the faeries of Elfhame. For the upcoming Elfhame issue, Cloonan and Conrad have teamed up with artist Jill Thompson, and they are more than a little excited to be working with her. Thompson’s fondly-remembered 1990 run on Wonder Woman was her first work for DC Comics, and she’ll be hand-painting her issue.
