‘Wonder Woman 1984 #1’ comic book being released ahead of DC film
DC fans are anxiously awaiting Princess Diana’s next great adventure when “Wonder Woman 1984” arrives in theaters on October 2. But before being transported to the “totally radical” days of neon colors, leg warmers, portable cassette recorders – and hanging out at the mall – our friends at DC are getting us ready with a special one-shot comic celebrating director Patty Jenkins’s exciting sequel to the smash-hit 2017 “Wonder Woman” film.
The first story in “Wonder Woman 1984 #1” is a direct tie-in to the upcoming movie and is co-written by “Wonder Woman 1984” associate producer Anna Obropta and Louise Simonson, with art by Bret Blevins.
When a failed burglary attempt causes a hostage situation at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, Diana Prince is forced to leave her teenage tour group behind so that Wonder Woman can save the day! But will she be able to bring 10 gunmen to justice and get back to her tour group in time?
The second story is a 1980s flashback by writer Steve Pugh and artist Marguerite Sauvage.
In the ’80s, “greed is good,” especially if you have it all! A reckless mastermind has made the ultimate power move by stealing Wonder Woman’s golden Lasso of Truth, and it’s up to Diana and Steve Trevor to get it back before the worst happens!
“Wonder Woman 1984 #1” features a powerful and dynamic cover by another great Wonder Woman artist, Nicola Scott. The book arrives at all participating U.S. Walmart retailers by Sunday, September 20 and all open and operating comic bookstores and participating digital retailers on Tuesday, September 29.
