Before Wonder Woman, before Themyscira, the goddesses of Olympus made a choice that defied heaven. Out of anger, grief, and divine purpose, they created a society shaped entirely by women, forged to protect the powerless and challenge the cruelty of gods and men alike. Across generations, one thread binds their hidden history: Hippolyta, a mortal woman whose burning will and fierce compassion lead her toward a world-changing destiny.
Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet) partners with Phil Jimenez (Wonder Woman, Invisible Woman), Gene Ha (Top 10, Mae), and Nicola Scott (Black Magick, Wonder Woman: Year One) to deliver a sweeping mythic epic of war, sisterhood, and the birth of a DC icon. Jimenez paints divine rebellion with operatic grandeur, Ha renders Hippolyta’s mortal journey with emotional intimacy, and Scott brings the saga to an explosive crescendo as the Amazons clash with Olympus itself. Collects: Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1–3.
