New WONDER WOMAN Comic Will Retell The Character's Origins Ahead Of Her DCEU Debut

Ahead of her cinematic debut in Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, DC will retell Wonder Woman's origins through a 9-issue digital comic due out in January 2016. Womanthology's Renae De Liz will write and draw the series, which according to THR will "focus on Diana's life before she left the island of Themyscira for "Man's World" to claim 'her ultimate destiny' as the Justice League's warrior princess."

Apparently the comic will serve as a "standalone origin story" for Diana, before she joins the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight on the big screen next year - but it's unclear if it will tie directly into the world inhabited by her live-action counterpart.

Okay, so if this takes place in the Extended Universe, which it seems, I can't tell due to the wording, then this is a good idea. Love the use of the word "Legend", makes it seem like in the Universe she'll be like an Uncle Sam type symbol of strength and war

I hope it takes place in the DCEU, if it's good it could get my hype for BvS even higher.

@nomis and Gus

Digital comics are the future. So much more convenient than shitty paper comics. You old bastards need to get with the times.

Gus, that's true. The price of comics is getting ridiculous. Marvel and DC are killing the market with inflation. That's one of the reasons I believe comics will be digital only in a few years.

As long as this is a one-shot and this new origin isn't shoehorned into regular DC continuity then I don't care.

Hope her presence make the film seem disjointed that's one thing that still worries me.

But I really do hope it's great.

The DC announcement doesn't mention anything about BvS in connection to this, so I think it's just standalone (the blue eyes and standard outfit also give it away

BEER and cheese are about 70-80% of my basic diet.

The remainder are the staples of whyskey,beans,bacon and lard.

In the interest of equality i think we should have a black man play wonder woman.
Rethink your bias.
