Eisner winner Kelly Thompson and breakout artist Hayden Sherman reinvent Wonder Woman from the ground up! Without the island paradise… without the sisterhood that shaped her… without a mission of peace… what’s left is Absolute Wonder Woman

The Wonder Woman of the Absolute Universe overcame the first monstrous being in this darker world, defeating The Tetracide with minimal death.
