Wonder Woman: Gods and Goddesses

The world has turned against Diana Prince—and her heroic alter ego, Wonder Woman. Spurred to religious frenzy by a zealous televangelist, citizens of the world are attacking both Diana and the pagan gods to whom she ascribes her very existence.


Amid all this disorder, a gentle priest journeys with Wonder Woman to Olympus to discover the reality of religion. But cataclysmic turmoil is evident even in the realm of the gods and goddesses: Themyscira, Diana's birthplace and the home of the Amazons, lies in ruins after a tumultuous battle.


Back home, tempers flare and ideologies clash. Will Wonder Woman prove her innocence and appease the angry populace, or will she be forced to depart forever from the world of mortals? Wonder Woman: Gods and Goddesses casts grave doubts on accepted truths and pits Diana Prince against her greatest challenge yet.
