Legends collide as Diana of Themyscira comes face to face with the Conan of Cimmeria.
Amazon Warrior meets Barbarian in the new miniseries—WONDER WOMAN/CONAN. What brings these two icons together?
DC and Dark Horse have teamed up for an epic crossover. Fan-favorite WONDER WOMAN writer Gail Simone and WONDER WOMAN artist Aaron Lopresti reunite for an adventure uniting collision legends.
“I love crossovers, I love Wonder Woman, and being able to bring the undisputed greatest warriors of the DCU and Robert E. Howard’s Hyborian Age together for the very first time is a dream come true,” says Simone. “A major draw is getting to reunite with the great Aaron Lopresti, whose very favorite things to draw are Wonder Woman and barbarians. Its blades and bracelets, wizards and wonder and I couldn’t be more delighted.”
Here’s the official description of the big story:
Our tale begins as Conan the Barbarian arrives on the shores of an unknown land, and soon meets the world’s most fearsome arena fighter—Wonder Woman. Ill-fated circumstances force them both into slavery. As they attempt to free themselves from the grips of the rich and powerful slave-owner Dellos, a dark magic descends upon their land, a presence that wants to destroy them both. But who has the might to stop the most talented gladiators who have ever existed?
Fans are celebrating 75 years of Wonder Woman. Conan the Barbarian has been fighting in publications for 85 years. Dark Horse has been publishing Conan stories since 2003.
“Uniting the greatest characters of the DC Universe with some of the most famous and notable characters in pop culture is at the core of the most memorable crossovers we’ve ever done,” said DC Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras. “Gail and Aaron’s series will surely create a new legend for fans and readers to talk about for years to come.”
The six-part epic begins September 20th.
