The Wonder Women Have Reunited in DC's Rebirth Universe

The belovedWonder Womanhas had her hands full since her 750th issue, with a former friend turning into the villainous 'Warmaster,' and forming and unleashing the Four Horsewomen of the Apocalypse. The final page of the newest issue reveals the highly anticipated, long-awaited reunion of Diana Prince and Donna Troy -- the Wonder Women.

Writer Steve Orlando’s latest run on Wonder Woman began in the milestone Wonder Woman #750, with art by Jesus Merino. Since then, we have learned that Warmaster has been on a personal quest for vengeance after learning that her Valkyrie ancestors have been engaged in a battle with the Amazons that killed all but one of her ancestors. Meanwhile, Donna has been warring with Devastation and Armageddon inside her own Lasso of Truth. After rejecting their offer to join them as the final member of the Four Horsewomen, Donna decides it's time for a team-up.

Leaving her enemies neatly tied up for the Justice League, Donna races to Norway, where her estranged sister is buried in the rubble of Warmaster’s secret mountain side headquarters. Diana is punching her way out when a forearm bearing the familiar Bracelets of Submission reaches out to help, leaving the pair to embrace and plan their counterattack. Not as hero and sidekick, but as Wonder Women.

Wonder Woman #756 is only the second chapter in Orlando’s reinvigorating storyline. A great deal of Warmaster’s history is revealed, as well as her plans to invade Themyscira via a portal in Boston. Von Gunther threatens to obliterate both Earth and Themyscira and Diana rejects her ultimatum by knocking her out with her tiara. Warmaster retaliates with a mechanical Pegasus as her Horsewoman, Genocide, defeats all Amazons protecting the portal. Donna comes to Diana’s rescue just in the nick of time, as the island that birthed them faces imminent destruction.

Donna Troy first debuted as Wonder Woman’s sidekick, Wonder Girl, in The Brave and the Bold #60 (1965), and was created by Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani. In her 2011 New 52 origin story, Troy was created by an evil sorceress to destroy Wonder Woman, and implanted with false memories, but DC’s Rebirth initiative reunited her with Wally West, and restored her true origins. She has since assumed leadership of the original Titans, after Nightwing was shot in the head by KGBeast. Like the rest of her teammates, Donna Troy was never intended to be anything more than a sidekick or sideshow freak, but like Dick Grayson and Wally West, grew to adulthood and found her own identity. Her fans have endured some grueling retconning, but seeing her alongside her sister Amazon, in their classic costumes, is a much-needed moment of triumph, especially amid the return of monthly comics.

Wonder Woman #756 is available now from DC Comics or your local comic book shop.
