Wonder Woman is the hardest DC project ever for Tom King, and he explains why (and why he needs the challenge)
Starting their run together relaunching the title this past September, Tom King and Daniel Sampere have taken Wonder Woman in thrilling new directions as the Amazon superhero stands against the American government itself. Following the systemized persecution of Amazons living in the United States, Wonder Woman steps in to protect her sisters from the military. This not only tests her long-standing relationship with career U.S. Army officer Steve Trevor, but puts on a collision course with the new supervillain, the Sovereign, who pulls the strings on America’s patriarchal society from behind-the-scenes.Frustrated by Wonder Woman meddling with his control over the country, the Sovereign attacks Diana Prince through her psyche, resulting in the superhero revisiting key moments from her past. Fortunately, Diana isn’t alone in this introspective odyssey, joined by a mental projection of Steve as she navigates her own mind to emerge and take the fight back to the Sovereign. On the outside, Wonder Woman’s fan-favorite allies, the Wonder Girls, are ready to lend their own support in toppling the Sovereign’s regime and defending their Amazon sisters.In an interview with Popverse, Wonder Woman writer Tom King talks about the unique challenges and themes when writing the iconic DC hero compared to his past work, explains his rationale behind co-creating the Sovereign and what he represents, and teases what readers can expect as his run on Wonder Woman continues to up the ante with each issue. Also included is preview art from Wonder Woman #9, on sale this May, illustrated by Daniel Sampere and colored by Tomeu Morey. Read more
