WONDER WOMAN [2016] #83 VAR ED

Jenny Frison has been doing the variant covers for Wonder Woman for some time now.

But long brewing tension turns Diana’s sister against her, giving the Cheetah her opening to place yet another God to the blade of her God Killer Sword. The kicker? The Cheetah thinks she’s helping Wonder Woman.” Pre-Order Now Related shopping tags: DC REBIRTH, WONDER WOMAN
