Absolute Wonder Woman #23 kicks off the brand-new HERETIC arc!

Written by Kelly Thompson with art by Hayden Sherman, this issue brings Diana back from the Underworld and immediately introduces a threat unlike anything she’s faced before.

Absolute Ares is here.

Diana returns to Area 41 with justice on her mind, but Gateway City isn’t quite what she left behind. As a new threat begins to emerge, Diana realizes that the gods themselves have arrived in Gateway City.

In this review, I break down what makes Absolute Wonder Woman #23 such an exciting start to the new arc, Hayden Sherman’s incredible designs for the mythical characters, the sense of calm before the storm, Diana’s journey following the Underworld arc, and a fun connection to another title in the Absolute Universe.

What did you think of Absolute Wonder Woman #23? Which god or mythological character should Diana face next?
