Wonder Woman: Ends of the Earth

At the ends of the universe, Wonder Woman falls victim to the Black Horizon, risking the safety of her soul. To salvage her very existence, she must ally herself with the legendary Beowulf and another fearsome warrior from DC's past while trapped on a world where her powers have betrayed her and brutal combat rules the day. But will victory cost Wonder Woman her soul?

Featuring the long-awaited return of some of the most savage characters in DCU history, not to mention all-out war between Diana's Gorilla Knights and the Department of Metahuman Affairs!

One of comics history’s three longest-established characters (with Superman and Batman), Wonder Woman has never quite found the right niche in the testosterone-drenched superhero genre. Until now, that is. Simone brings a distinct and believable feminine sensibility to the peace-loving yet butt-kicking Amazon, without shedding an iota of action or fun. Reviving some of DC’s old sword-and-sorcery characters, Simone pits Wonder Woman against a demon lord who rules over a plane at the end of existence. This is the graphic novel to hand female readers who love tough, uncompromising heroines. Grades 8-12. --Jesse Karp
