I’m back with more of my Wonder Woman redesigns! I’ve been redoing the entire DC Universe with a single, unified timeline from the ‘40s to the present day. If you want to see the previous Wonder Woman entries, or see the entire Superman story, I have them all here.

Just a few years into Diana’s Modern Age adventures and things go to hell. Darkseid invades and once again the Amazons go to war – this time against gods. Diana and Nubia don godkiller armor, Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall joins the cast, and we get Amazons vs. the Female Furies. Diana discovers that ‘The Duchess’, her old enemy from the ‘70s, was Lashina in disguise all along. In the climax, Diana faces Granny Goodness in single combat and narrowly claws out a victory. You can see Darkseid, Barda and Mr. Miracle, and more of this era from Superman’s POV here.

A few years later, Vanessa Kapatelis is kidnapped and turned into the Silver Swan by Vanessa Cale, Dr. Psycho, and Circe. Their larger plan fails, but Vanessa remains Silver Swan and Circe is held prisoner on Themyscira – which is exactly where she wants to be as she begins fomenting a civil war between the Themysciran Amazons and the Bana-Mighdall.

I wanted to make the Themyscirans more multi-cultural and also make the Bana-Mighdall more distinct from them. To that end, I have the Themyscirans draw from all around the Mediterranean and north African region, while the Bana are drawing from India, a bit of Persia, the Mongols, and other West-Asian cultures. A further change is that 'my' Artemis is a trans woman. She died heroically at the hands of wicked men and the Well of Souls, knowing exactly who and what she truly is, saved her from death and she was reborn as a full Amazon. I saw the Well of Souls as an excellent device to tell an interesting trans story, and Artemis felt like a good character to tell it with. Wonder Woman should be a story for and about all women. Artemis gets a great arc through the Modern Age, so stay tuned!

This is a relatively short ‘era’ in Diana’s story, but full of impact. Etta Candy retires at 87 and Julia Kapatelis takes over as the embassy’s chief of staff. Veronica Cale fully enters the story as Diana’s new central antagonist (though she remains a behind-the-scenes mastermind). Artemis becomes a central character. Donna Troy is growing up and becoming her own woman. WW has a brief but intense love affair with Aquaman (which I’ll explore more during his story, once I know what the f he looks like lol) but they both decide their responsibilities to their people make it a doomed romance. It’s a busy few years for Diana and Co.!Donna at 18 remains in blue; it keeps her closer to Diana and separate from Robin, Speedy, and Kid Flash. Not a lot of rich blues in the Titans.

Having a lot of fun doing this
