Returning to Area 41 with more than justice on her mind, Diana discovers something she never expected.

At the same time, a mysterious new threat begins rising in Gateway City.

Unfortunately, Wonder Woman knows exactly what she's dealing with.

The gods themselves have come to Gateway City.

And when gods enter the battlefield...

war is never far behind.

🩸 ABSOLUTE ARES IS HERE!

ARES.

The God of War.

One of the most legendary figures in Wonder Woman mythology now enters the radically reimagined world of ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN.

But the Absolute Universe has already proven that nothing should be taken for granted.

Familiar heroes have changed.

Familiar villains have changed.

Entire mythologies have been rebuilt from the ground up.

Now it's Ares' turn.

What does the Absolute Universe's God of War look like?

What does he want from Diana?

And why have the gods come to Gateway City?

The answers begin here.

🔥 THE HERETIC STORYLINE BEGINS!

ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #23 launches HERETIC, opening a major new chapter in Diana's Absolute Universe saga.

Diana's return from the Underworld should have given her an opportunity to recover.

Instead, she's immediately thrown into another supernatural crisis.

But this time she's not simply facing another monster.

She's facing the divine.

The arrival of the gods threatens to dramatically expand the mythology surrounding Absolute Wonder Woman while forcing Diana to confront forces directly connected to the world she comes from.

For readers following the series, HERETIC starts here.

🏛️ GATEWAY CITY BECOMES A BATTLEGROUND!

Gateway City has already seen the impossible.

But nothing may prepare it for the arrival of the gods.

Diana's mythological world and the city she's sworn to protect are about to collide.

And with Ares, the God of War, entering the equation, that collision could become catastrophic.

Why have the gods appeared?

What are they searching for?

What role does Ares play?

And what will Wonder Woman have to sacrifice to protect Gateway City?

A new war is beginning.
