DC Celebrates Wonder Woman, Green Lantern's Doomed Cosmos & Marvel Meets Star Wars | Comic Source Weekly
DC Comics leads this week's news with the announcement of Year of Wonder, its 2027 celebration of Wonder Woman. Following Tom King and Daniel Sampere's run, Louise Simonson and Cian Tormey begin a 4-issue storyline involving the Amazon Safety Act, Lois Lane, Granny Goodness and the Female Furies. Stephanie Williams and Elena Casagrande follow with a 6-issue run carrying the series through issue #50.
Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos comes from Dan Watters and Kyle Hotz. In this 6-issue Elseworlds series, humanity has become a galactic conquering power, and the Green Lantern Corps is fighting a losing war against the human empire. Hal Jordan, once a soldier of that empire, now fights on the Corps' side after being betrayed by Oliver Queen.
