Wonder Woman and friends take on an Aztec god in this exclusive preview
DC’s Midnighter was one of the best action comics of the last five years, and getting the book’s creative team back together on Wonder Woman has significantly turned up the intensity and excitement of the Amazon warrior’s solo series. Writer Steve Orlando, artist ACO, and colorist Romulo Fajardo Jr. take Diana on a thrilling journey into the world of Aztec mythology in their current storyline, teaming Wonder Woman with Artemis and Aztek to take down the Aztec deity Tezcatlipoca as he brings his armies to Earth. Orlando began his five-issue run with an intimate standalone story that highlighted Diana’s empathy and eagerness to rehabilitate her former foes, displaying a deep understanding of the heroine’s peace-keeping mission. The fighting in that issue was nowhere on the level of this Aztec-infused tale, which takes full advantage of ACO’s skills to deliver dynamic action with a bold graphic sensibility.
