About the book
<b>Spiraling out of the catastrophic events of Absolute Power, a new side of the DC Universe is born—the Absolute Universe!</b> In a different, darker world, Diana of Themyscira was not raised in paradise, but instead was exiled to the underworld as a baby and raised by an enemy. Darkness and exile did not destroy her; instead, they made her all the stronger—honed into an even greater weapon by tragedy, danger, and magic. Long denied her Amazonian heritage, Diana has finally reached the time for her to rejoin the surface world. Armed with new weapons forged in Hell, and a mission that looks a bit more like justice than peace, Diana will not be stopped on her quest to save the world and discover her place in it, even if that means carving it herself! Eisner Award-winning writer Kelly Thompson is joined by breakout superstar artist Hayden Sherman to reinvent Wonder Woman from the ground up! Collects <b>Absolute Wonder Woman</b> #1-7.

“Absolute Wonder Woman is a wonderful read for anyone who is remotely interested in Diana, the Absolute Universe, or comics in general. Like the other Absolute comics, it offers a strong refreshing take on its character and mythos (and I might say I enjoy it slightly more than Absolute Batman). Diana’s character is well-written and is the star of what makes this series soo good. While maintaining Diana’s warrior and cunning qualities, Kelly Thompson places Diana’s compassion and love front and center. In doing so, Diana shines a bright hopeful light to the dark gloomy reality that is the Absol…”
“Pretty fun story, although it's so far removed from Wonder Woman that it could have been its own unique franchise if you change a few names. This isn't a negative, just worth mentioning that this isn't your average generic superhero flick. Diana is a witch now, raised in hell by Circe after the gods tried to get rid of her as a baby. Despite taking place in the modern world, this story is a whole lot more fantasy might & magic than superheroes, and it's great. The story is a lot of fun and has a lot of heart to it. I'm looking forward to the next volume when it releases.”
