Although brief, the synopsis teases a significant turn in Diana’s battle against the Sovereign: “After revealing the Sovereign and his plans for the entire nation, Wonder Woman sends her girls to wage war against his army.” With covers featuring Wonder Girls past and present – Yara Flor, Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark – it’s clear that Diana is finally deploying her all-Amazon Justice League.
“Wonder Woman sends her girls to war…” – Wonder Woman #17 Synopsis
Cover B David Nakayama Card Stock Variant for Wonder Woman #17
Before the chaos of Absolute power, fans will remember Cassie, Donna and Yara fighting their way through the conflict between Wonder Woman and the Highbreeddespite Diana’s insistence on handling the matter herself. However, after persistence from her Amazon sisters, Diana finally relented and agreed to let them help. Readers, however, have yet to see this help fully materialize, as the Sovereign storyline has been momentarily set aside to explore Absolute power events with Diana. Wonder Woman #17, however, looks set to officially bring the focus back to the roles that Donna, Yara, and Cassie will play in this narrative.
The synopsis raises the question, “Will these companions have what it takes to face their mentors’ most fearsome enemies?” This hints at the possible composition of the Sovereign’s army, which could feature some of Wonder Woman’s notorious adversaries, such as Giganta, Darkseid’s daughter Circe, Angle Man, Silver Swan, Doctor Psycho, and more. Although Diana has faced and defeated these enemies before, Her new role as mother to her newborn daughter suggests she may entrust the Wonder Girls to take on the Sovereign’s army in her stead..

Wonder Woman “girls” may even include Barbara “Cheetah“Minerva. Readers of King’s series will remember that before Absolute powerDiana and Barbara shared an emotional moment that led the two rivals to finally resolve their differences and form a powerful alliance. As Cheetah has yet to reappear since the start of this pivotal partnership, her return seems imminent. It’s increasingly likely that she will join the Wonder Girls in battle – or, at the very least, help protect Diana’s daughter from hidden threats. This raises the question of who will ultimately make up Wonder Woman “all Amazon Justice League” and whether Cheetah will truly be part of this formidable team.
Wonder Woman #17 will be released on January 15, 2025, by DC Comics!
