Wonder Woman has had comic books since the 1940s, with the Amazing Amazon being a part of DC Comics’ Trinity of heroes. Many of her earlier comics took an overly superheroic tone, while the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot emphasized her ties to Greek mythology and epic fantasy. One rather infamous run took those elements to a greater extreme, however, turning the star-spangled Amazon’s adventures into a grisly horror story.The New 52 reboot was contentious as a whole, with many fans noting how much darker certain heroes were portrayed. Wonder Woman was no different in this regard, with the Brian Azzarello/Cliff Chiang Wonder Woman run being easily her darkest tales yet. The result was a fantasy horror book that felt more in line with a ’90s Vertigo title than Princess Diana’s usual stories.Before the New 52, Wonder Woman had a fairly cemented backstory. Although there were some changes between the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the character’s post-Crisis era, the general gist remained the same. In those takes, Diana of Themyscira was created by Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons. Crafted out of clay by her mother, Diana was unique among her Amazonian sisters because of her origin. Most notably, this added to the rebellious feminist allure of the Amazons and Wonder Woman herself, with Diana’s birth not being tied to her conception by a man. This all changed in the New 52, with Diana’s origin being the most controversial of said changes.Wonder Woman’s Daughter Trinity Gets Her Own Comic in 2024Josie Campbell Reveals Wonder Woman’s Best and Worst Justice League Dark Teammates
