“As diehard fans of Wonder Woman, we are incredibly honored to showcase the world’s most iconic female Super Hero through our Digital First publishing program,” said Hank Kanalz, senior vice president of Vertigo and Integrated Publishing. “With this series creators can dream up unique takes on the Amazon Princess to give fans a new adventure every week. We’re very excited about the line-up, and readers won’t want to miss the sensational action-packed Wonder Woman stories we have planned for the coming weeks and beyond.”

 

Here’s the official description of the first issue:

 

“Diana Prince: Amazon warrior, ambassador to Man’s world, or champion of women in need? All of the above! This digital-first anthology series will bring some of comics’ greatest talents to Themyscira, and give them leave to explore Diana, her world – and ours!
Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver kick things off when Oracle calls for help after the entire Bat-Family gets sidelined. But when Wonder Woman steps into the breach, Gotham City’s criminals get the surprise of their lives! Then, Amanda Deibert and Cat Staggs take Diana to school, where she meets her biggest fan!”

 

The first chapter will be released in August 20, 2014 and monthly printed issues will include three chapters each, also starting in August.
