Since her debut in All-Star Comics #8 in 1941, Wonder Woman has stood as a champion of truth, compassion, and equality throughout the DC Universe and beyond. Princess Diana of Themyscira has lived many lives, but her commitment to peace and justice has never wavered. On the anniversary of the Amazon Princess’s historic DC debut, DC looks toward her extraordinary future by declaring 2027 the Year of Wonder, an unforgettable year of stories from celebrated comic book creators.

Legendary writer Louise Simonson writes DC’s main Wonder Woman series for the first time beginning with Wonder Woman #41 on January 20, joining acclaimed artist Cian Tormey for a new four-issue story that establishes a bold new status quo for Diana and her world. 

In Simonson and Tormey’s story, Wonder Woman is determined to abolish the Amazon Safety Act and clear the way for her sisters to return to the shores of Man’s World. But after everything they have endured, are the Amazons ready to return, or have they given up on saving humanity from itself?

Following Simonson and Tormey’s four-issue story, writer Stephanie Williams and artist Elena Casagrande take the reins for an all-new six-issue arc continuing the Year of Wonder through October 2027.

Williams returns to Diana’s world after contributing four issues to DC’s Wonder Woman series in 2026 and co-writing Wonder Woman 2026 Annual: Wonder War – The Matriarch Special #1. She currently writes the DC GO! webcomic series Warriors and a Wee Wonder, which will soon transition to Warriors and a ’Tween Wonder. Together with Casagrande on DC’s main Wonder Woman series, Williams will carry Wonder Woman into the next chapter of a year designed to celebrate the character’s enduring power, limitless potential, and place at the heart of the DC Universe.

More Wonder Woman stories and superstar creators will be revealed as DC’s Year of Wonder continues throughout 2027.

Wonder Woman #41, written by Louise Simonson with art by Cian Tormey, features a main cover by Ryan Sook and variant covers by Daniel Sampere, Walter Simonson, and Tormey. The issue also features a foil variant cover by David Nakayama and a Sweater Weather variant cover by Alexander Lozano. The 32-page issue arrives at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on January 20, 2027, for $4.99 US, with card stock variants available for $5.99 US.
