If anyone thinks that’s gonna stop Wonder Woman, they are sadly mistaken. .

A traitor walks amongst “The Terrific Ten”!

As Mr. Terrific leads a time-displaced squad of heroes into Hell itself, the devilish landscape seems to have corrupted another good soul. Neron’s manipulations appear to have succeeded where others have failed. With no one able to help, Terrific must go this alone. The lives of millions rest on his shoulders.

No good deed ever goes unpunished in some fashion.

Diana of Themyscira needed a moment to reset after recent events. Nubia, Cassie Sandsmark, Yara Flor & Donna Troy become the babysitters of baby Elizabeth. This should have been a easy day for all parties involved. No one factored Eris in crashing the party. Her influence causes major rifts between the responsible parties.

Even for Diana of The Wild Isle, no good deed even comes with consequences.

After becoming Medusa to defeat the Tetracide, the experience has left her shaken. There’s more behind the mythical monster than one may know. Diana looks to right a massive wrong. The cost may be too high to pay.

Four remain in the fight to become Absolute Champion.

Superman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman and the Joker are the DCU’s last hope. One will emerge as champion but they will have earned it.

Neron has returned in this time of crisis. Augmenting power of lower-tier villains has opened up more trouble than expected.

Even the strongest warriors need a moment to reset.

After dealing with Mouse Man, Diana of Themyscira is in need of a small break. She returns home with her infant daughter Elizabeth. Diana must find someone to watch her child. You couldn’t ask for better baby sitters than Nubia, Cassie Sandsmark, Yara Flor & Donna Troy. What could possibly go wrong?

The legacy of Diana of Themyscira is unparalleled.

In 2021, a new series ran that celebrated her 80th anniversary. The six issue “Black and Gold” anthology welcomed various creators to craft stories around the Amazon Warrior. Using the color scheme of her Lasso of Truth under the “Black and White” brand, the series was a smash hit with fans. Many have waited to see more Wonder Woman stories told in this fashion. The wait is finally over in 2026.

At last, two good souls in a dark world finally cross paths.

Since its’ inception, fans have wondered when the heroes of the Absolute Universe would finally meet. Their patience was tested but n answer came at San Diego Comic Con 2025. During a panel, Scott Snyder announced that ABSOLUE BATMAN would meet ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN in a future crossover event.
