DC’s formidable warriors, Wonder Woman and the Amazons, have always been shrouded in secrecy, hidden away from the rest of the world. But in Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods #1, written by G. Willow Wilson and illustrated by Cian Tormey, Jordie Bellaire, and Pat Brosseau, that secrecy is lost, with the Amazons becoming uniquely vulnerable.
Wonder Woman, who has always been a fierce protector, gets a massive power boost and a new costume, giving her an advantage in the upcoming conflict between humanity and the gods. However, this power boost comes with a catch. The Amazons have been depowered, leaving them at risk in a world where the gods have regained their strength and are attacking humanity.
As the conflict rages on, Wonder Woman seeks to negotiate with the gods, particularly Hera and the Wizard Shazam, in an effort to find peace. But when she discovers that the Amazons are dying along with the old gods due to lack of worship, Hera offers to spare them by accepting Wonder Woman as one of their own. Hera imbues Diana with an immense amount of magical power, transforming her into a new god form with a striking new costume.
Lazarus Planet: Revenge of the Gods #1 marks a significant turning point for Wonder Woman and the Amazons, setting the stage for an epic battle that will have far-reaching consequences for the DC Universe.
