DC is marking Wonder Woman’s 85th anniversary by declaring 2027 the “Year of Wonder,” with new stories, creators and celebrations built around Diana of Themyscira.

The publishing programme begins on 20 January 2027 with Wonder Woman #41. Legendary writer Louise Simonson joins artist Cian Tormey for a four-issue story that follows the conclusion of Tom King and Daniel Sampere’s run.

What comes next for Diana

DC says Simonson and Tormey’s story will establish a new status quo. Wonder Woman is determined to abolish the Amazon Safety Act and clear the way for the Amazons to return to Man’s World, but her sisters may no longer believe humanity is worth saving.

The creative team will also bring Lois Lane, Granny Goodness and the Female Furies into the story. After that four-issue arc, writer Stephanie Williams and artist Elena Casagrande take over for a six-issue run continuing through October 2027, including a long-awaited Diana and Nubia team-up.

Wonder Woman #41 collector details

The 32-page issue carries a main cover by Ryan Sook, plus variants by Daniel Sampere, Walter Simonson and Cian Tormey. DC has also announced a David Nakayama foil variant and an Alexander Lozano “Sweater Weather” cover.

The standard issue is priced at $4.99 in the US, with card-stock variants at $5.99. UK prices and availability will vary by retailer, so collectors should check with their local comic shop before pre-ordering.

A wider anniversary celebration

DC is also highlighting defining Wonder Woman stories through DC Universe Infinite. Six comics are being offered free to read in its official “Get to Know! Wonder Woman” collection, although service availability varies by country.

For collectors, 2027 is likely to bring more anniversary editions, variants and merchandise. The important distinction is that DC has only confirmed the publishing plans above so far; further Year of Wonder projects will be announced later.
