Bollywood: DC Celebrates Wonder Woman's 80th Anniversary With 12 Titles

DC Comics is celebrating Wonder Woman's 80th anniversary in a huge way. The publisher is set to release twelve titles in the superhero's birthday month of October. The titles released in October will be a mix of commemorative releases, new series launches and free comics. It's going to be a huge month for Wonder Woman readers who are going to get spoil in the riches of Wonder Woman's stories, old and new.

The celebrations are being headlined by DC's upcoming YA anthology series Wonderful Women of the World, which releases on September 28. It will follow real-life heroes from all around the world. Wonder Woman will serve as the inspiration for each trailblazing woman. The real-life heroes include Beyoncé, Serena Williams, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Greta Thunberg, and Malala Yousafzai, among others. Additionally, the Wonder Woman 80th Anniversary 100-page Super Spectacular will be released on October 5. It's an oversized issue that celebrates Wonder Woman in a range of new stories by some of DC's best talent.

According to DC Comics, the first of DC's new series launch's promises to be "one of the most unforgettable DC tales of all time." That series, titled Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, is a new DC Black Label series that will follow Diana Prince's mother Hippolyta as she crosses paths with the Amazons for the first time. The series is set in the past as it tells the story of what led to the creation of Themyscira. After the male gods found out about the island, an all-out war in heaven began. The next DC launch will center around Infinite Frontier's star Amazonian warrior Nubia, who is set to lead her own series. Nubia and the Amazons sees the new Amazon queen, who took over for Hippolyta after she left to join the Justice League, struggling with the challenges of being in charge of all of Themyscira. Nubia and the Amazons is launching on October 5.

Wonder Woman #780 will be available in on October 12. Beginning where Wonder Woman left off in Infinite Frontier #0, Diana finally makes it back to Earth. However, it seems a large portion of time has passed since readers last saw her on her journey with the Quintessence. When Wonder Woman arrives back in the mortal realm she will be wondering, has the world has moved on without her? Additionally, the penultimate issue of Wonder Woman Black & Gold will reportedly whisk readers away into "an Amazon fairy tale." The issue will be available from October 26. Over in the Amazon, Wonder Girl #6 will explore Yara's superhero side as she tries to understand why she is who she is. Is she a hero or was she created by the gods as a destructive weapon to wipe out the Amazons? The issue will be available on October 26.

Finally, Wonder Woman: 80 Years of the Amazon Warrior is a hardcover special edition that contains more than 400 pages of Wonder Woman's most iconic stories. DC promises this to be a comic book for all generations of Wonder Woman fans. Alongside this, Wonder Woman: Adventures of Young Diana Special will be a collection of supporting stories and is going on sale on October 12. DC Comics also has three free specials for Wonder Woman Day. DC Rebirth's Wonder Woman #1 will be re-released, for free on October 9. Likewise, Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed is also getting the special edition treatment as well as Diana Princess of the Amazons from which explores a young Diana Prince. For Wonder Woman fans young and old, October will be a special month with a lot to celebrate.
