В този различен, по-мрачен свят, Даяна от Темискира не е отгледана в рая, а е била заточена в подземния свят като бебе и отгледана от враг. Но мракът и изгнанието не я пречупват - те я каляват, превръщайки я в още по-могъщо оръжие чрез трагедия, опасност и магия.

Носителката на награда Айзнър Кели Томпсън и ... |
