The Amazo-N announces its assault on Themyscira with a shocking display of lethal force, killing an Amazon - only the second time an Amazo has resorted to such violence. With Amazonian blood on his hands, the Amazo-N turns his attention to the Well of Souls, one of Themyscira's most sacred and powerful sites, which houses the souls of countless women. After defeating the Amazons in battle, the Amazo-N begins to absorb the immense power of the sound, including the essence of Eve "Whisperia" Baptist. By tapping into Eve's soul, the Amazo-N gains her powers of folk magic and mysticism.

After the absorption, the Amazo-N destroys the health of souls before delivering Amanda Waller's message to Queen Nubia: "I gave you a choice, Queen Nubia - to stand with us or stand apart. You chose to cross the line by protecting those who oppose me. Now you and your Amazons will learn what it means to be truly isolated. True to Waller's threat, The Amazo-N uses his newly acquired powers to isolate the island completely, preventing anyone from entering or leaving, Including Wonder Woman herself. Consequently, the actions of the Amazo-N result in Diana's indefinite exile from her homeland.

The AMAZO-N is a god-level being that just spirited an entire island

Wonder Woman's future as the Queen of Themyscira is more uncertain than ever


Absolute Power #1 Wonder Woman and Amazo

The Amazo-N is one of six power-stealing Amazos in Amanda Waller's Failsafe-led Task Force VII. Waller uses the Amazons to hunt down Earth's metahuman population, draining them of their powers and unjustly imprisoning them in her secret prison. As one of the most formidable members of Task Force VII, the Amazo-N has absorbed the powers of Wonder Woman, the Shazam Kids, John Constantine, Detective Chimp, Madame Xanadu, and notably, Jim "The Spectre" Corrigan, one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe. These arcane powers enable the Amazo-N to find and invade the typically cloaked island of Themyscira.

Themyscira has been a central element of Wonder Woman's story for over 83 years. Once ruled by Diana's mother, Queen Hippolyta, the island is now ruled by Queen Nubia. More recently, it has featured prominently in various DC stories, including Josie Campbell Amazon's Attack!Tom King's ongoing Wonder Woman And Trinity runs, and DC's Summer Crisis event, Absolute power. Future stories, such as King's Trinityhave indicated so Diana may one day inherit the throne and become queen of Themyscira. However, the attack of the Amazo-N and the subsequent physical separation of the island from the rest of the world - including Wonder Woman herself - cast doubt on this future.

Where will Wonder Woman raise her daughter if she is exiled from Themyscira?

The birth of Diana Prince's daughter is set to take place in Wonder Woman #14

The development of Diana's isolation from Themyscira in Absolute Power: Task Force VII #6 is likely to reverberate through Tom King's ongoing Wonder Woman storyline. Fans are left wondering how King will address Diana's newfound separation from one of her most iconic legacies, especially as the birth of Wonder Woman's daughter nears. King was the lead writer for both Wonder Woman and its companion series, Trinitywith the latter focusing on future storylines featuring Lizzie as a teenager and Damian Wayne and Jon Kent as young adults.

However, it seems that the Wonder Woman And Trinity Storylines will soon intersect in the present, with the birth of Elizabeth "Trinity" Prince is set to be featured in Wonder Woman #14 and #15. Diana's current exile from Themyscira raises a significant question: where will she raise her daughter if not on the island surrounded by her fellow Amazons? While it is unlikely that Trinity will be deprived of her rightful home, This scenario opens up the intriguing possibility of Baby Lizzie growing up among the Justice LeagueWhich would undoubtedly be more than entertaining.

Wonder Woman will return to Themyscira (we just don't know when or how)

Tom King's Trinity Series confirms that Diana and Lizzie Prince's future includes Paradise Island

Although the future of Themyscira remains uncertain, the island's isolation from the rest of the world is unlikely to be permanent. Fans have reason to believe this, thanks to the Trinity series, which, as previously mentioned, takes place about a decade in the future. In many issues of TrinityLizzie, Damian and Jon are shown having adventures on the island, and one issue even confirms that Wonder Woman becomes the Queen of the Amazons. So, if King S Trinity series is no indication, Diana will eventually be able to return home, and Lizzie will have the opportunity to know and experience Paradise Island.

Despite the assurance that Themyscira will not remain isolated forever, fans are still left in the dark about how long the island's isolation will last and how the Amazo-N's spell will be restored. One thing is certain: Wonder Woman and her lore are poised for significant changes in the near future, especially if King goes through with the integration of Diana's daughter into today's main continuity. It remains to be seen how fans will react to the changes, but we can only hope that King will build on the recent developments in Wonder Woman Learn and raise them to new heights.
