Wonder Woman Dead Earth Is A PostApocalyptic Nightmare

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth casts Diana of Themyscira into a monster-infested, post-apocalyptic wasteland. While Wonder Woman is an iconic DC superhero with a rich history in the comics, it took a long time for the character to get her due on the big screen. Lynda Carter portrayed her in the 1970s TV series while Adrianne Palicki played Diana in a famously awful 2011 TV pilot that failed to launch a series. A potential Wonder Woman movie had been in the works since the 1990s, with Sandra Bullock often linked to the role.

Joss Whedon (The Avengers) was hired to write and direct Wonder Woman in the mid-2000s, and had Angelina Jolie in mind for the title role. Whedon eventually left the movie and his Wonder Woman screenplay has since been met with divisive reactions, especially in how it portrays Diana. After being stuck in development hell in the years that followed, Wonder Woman finally made her big-screen debut played by Gal Gadot in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which was intended as an introduction to the character. The solo Wonder Woman film was the first entry in the DC Extended Universe that was a success both critically and financially. Gadot is now firmly established in the part, having returned for both 2017’s Justice League and the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984.

While fans wait for the sequel, they could entertain themselves with Wonder Woman: Dead Earth, a comic series from writer Daniel Warren Johnson that offers a very different take on the series. The premise finds Diana waking up in the Batcave after being asleep for a century to find the world outside is now a desolate nuclear wasteland. She’s soon thrust into a world filled with monsters – of both the human and creature variety – whilst trying to uncover the origin of the world’s downfall.

From the premise and artwork alone, it’s clear Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is a taking a few pages from Mad Max: Fury Road. That said, this makes it one of the most unique – and darkest – of the Wonder Woman comics. In the first issue alone Diana wakes from her slumber to battles monsters dubbed Haedra’s and is betrayed by the first group of humans she encounters. Even in the face of that betrayal she still offers humanity unconditional love and becomes their leader by the end of the first comic.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth may not be to everyone’s taste as it offers a wildly different take on the comic series, and is quite bleak in parts. That said, it features some downright beautiful artwork and its unique to see Wonder Woman thrown into such a dark scenario while still trying to maintain a hopeful outlook.
