The islands of Themyscira have crashed into the see at Hera’s behest and although none of the Amazons are seriously hurt, many of their visitors are, and those held on Reformation Island are unaccounted for. Unaware of this, Diana brings her friend Vanessa to Themyscira for healing, to remove the dangerous implants which made her the Silver Swan. Before long, she is told to take Vanessa back to man’s world, for all visitors are being evacuated. Elsewhere, Euryale and Stheno demand that Circe give them back their sister. Medousa.

Leaks
Fecha: 2004.05| Créditos: Greg Rucka (Guiones), Stephen Sadowski (Dibujos)| Edición española: WW vol 1, 8; GRANDES AUTORES DE WONDER WOMAN: GREG RUCKA – REFLEXIONES.

Veronica Cale realises that someone at Little and Winn associates has leaked her anti-Wonder Woman publicity plans to the Themysciran embassy, and she is determined to find out who is responsible. When Kimberly Dunn is discovered as the source of the leak, Cale ensures that Dunn did not tell the Themyscirans who it was that had hired Little and Winn. She expresses something of her contempt for Wonder Woman. This stems from how, even though Cale dragegd herself up from nothing through her wits and her brain, Wonder Woman can still command attention, despite what Cale sees as dangerous political views. Having got this off her chest, she kills Kimberly and orders ‘Fallon’ to dispose of the body. She then returns for her date with Senator Hale, a date which mixes the business of descrediting Wonder Woman with much pleasure.

Wonder Woman asks Leslie Anderson – Veronica Cale’s partner in Cale-Anderson Pharmaceuticals – for help, asking for assistance in healing Vanessa Kapatelis. Meanwhile, Circe has re-animated Medousa’s head, and is asked by the god Posiedon to resurrect her body as well in order to bring about revenge on Athena’s champion, Wonder Woman. And Batman makes some discoveries concerning the death of Darrel Keyes. The riot was incited by Doctor Psycho and the atual shooting carried out by Matthew Fallon, former head of security at C.A.P., who was found dead a few days ago. Wonder Woman also learns of the build-up of American naval vessels off the coast of Theyscira, but must deal with Psycho first. Meanwhile, Veronica Cale has been captured by Doctor Psycho, who is impersonating her.

As Circe’s spells return the ancient evil that is Medousa to life, Wonder Woman visits Doctor Anderson to ask about Matthew Fallon and is told that he is on the premises. Fallon, of course, is dead, and Wonder Woman realises that Doctor Psycho has been posing as the security chief and, she soon discovers, as Veronica Cale, seducing Senator Hale. Wonder Woman is able to expose Doctor Psycho, but he escapes from her while she attends to those he has hurt. Despite having been saved by Wonder Woman, Veronica Cale’s feelings about her have not changed and she is angered when Leslie Anderson tells her that she is going to New York to treat Vanessa Kapatelis.

The godesses who protect Themyscira meet and begin to plot against Zeus, who has grown entirely too comfortable in his position of authority in Olympus. Meanwhile, as Dr Anderson continues her efforts to heal Vanessa Kapatelis, Wonder Woman flies to Argentina to confront the man who transformed Vanessa into the Silver Swan – Sebastian Ballesteros, the third Cheetah. When she reaches him, he is already dead, killed by his predecessor, and Wonder Woman’s arrival triggers an explosion that destroys all of his files and computer records. Medousa gets a taste of modern New York and finds that she is entirely unsuited to it. Circe suggests that the gorgon should join forces with a woman who hates Wonder Woman just as much as she does, Veronica Cale. And the Garibaldi boys find a small stone bird, petrified by Medousa on her brief visit.

Athena continues to observe the pieces that she and the other godesses have set in motion, and tells Ares that his part in their scheme is soon to come. At the Themysciran embassy in New York, Dr. Anderson tells Ferdinand that the surgery on Vanessa Kapatelis was successful, but their joy is soon interrupted by the arrival of Medousa, followed soon after by Wonder Woman. Ferdinand is well aware of the danger Medousa poses and tries to get everyone to safety. The gorgon is here to hurt Wonder Woman, to kill whoever is most dear to her, and she settles on one of the children who lives at the embassy, turning Martin Garibaldi to stone. When Wonder Woman turns on her in fury, Medousa then invokes an ancient rite which summons Ares and compels Wonder Woman to meet her in single combat the next morning. As the embassy staff comfort Peter Garibaldi, Diana prays to her gods and prepares for battle.

Stoned Conclusion
Fecha: 2005.01| Créditos: Greg Rucka (Guiones), Drew Johnson (Dibujos)| Edición española: WW vol 1, 12; GRANDES AUTORES DE WONDER WOMAN: GREG RUCKA – DE PIEDRA.

Medousa and Wonder Woman, the champions of Poseidon and Athena, face one another in single combat, and the rest of the world can only watch as the fight is relayed across every television screen in every land. Ares has been invoked and the stadium where the two champions duel is sealed until the fight ends in death for one or other combatant. As the two fight, they appear to be evenly matched, and Medousa is slowly able to remove Wonder Woman’s helmet and blindfold that protect her from the gorgon’s gaze. Finally, feeling the compulsion to look upon Medousa growing, Wonder Woman smears some of the gorgon’s venom into her eyes, blinding herself so that she can face the monster without being turned to stone. Doing so, she lops off her opponent’s head. The battle has been won, but at a price.

Fecha: 2005.02| Créditos: Greg Rucka (Guiones), Sean Phillips (Dibujos)| Edición española: WW vol 1, 13; GRANDES AUTORES DE WONDER WOMAN: GREG RUCKA – DE PIEDRA.

Medousa is defeated and Wonder Woman is blind and exhausted, although she has a new friend and ally in Pegasus, born from the blood of the slain gorgon. Ares lifts the supernatural cordon around the arena and ensures that Medousa’s sisters do not take their revenge. Wonder Woman’s other enemies, Circe and Veronica Cale, come to an arrangement as Circe wants her daughter back from the Amazons and she wants Cale’s help; elsewhere, Cheetah wakes Zoom from his state of non-movement in the basements of Iron Heights Penitentiary. When Wonder Woman returns to the embassy, neither mortal nor Amazonian medicine can heal her eyes, because they are a wound inflicted by the gods. And she has one pressing question for Athena – did young Martin Garibaldi really have to die in the conflict? Her patron goddess tells her that the answer is ‘yes’, but offers little comfort beyond this.

Wonder Woman, blinded after her battle with Medousa, is tested by members of the JLA, with the intention of seeing what she is now capable of. Most of them hold back, but Batman does not, a fact that Wonder Woman thanks him for – after all, her enemies are not going to hold anything back. Meanwhile, Circe asks Veronica Cale to sue for custody of her daughter Lyta (technically an American citizen), the only possible way to get her off Themyscira and the Olympian godesses finally challenge Zeus for the throne. He is old and tired, out of touch with the world and the worshippers of today, but he will not willingly part with his throne. The many-armed giant Briareos guards the Olympian throne, and no god may challenge this champion. Therefore, Aphrodite is sent to fetch the champion of Pallas Athena – Wonder Woman and her steed Pegasus are transported to Olympus to fight a monster once more.

Backed by several of the other godesses, Athena has challenged Zeus for the throne of Olympus, and has summoned Wonder Woman as her champion to battle Briareos, the hundred-handed giant who guards Zeus’ throne. Aided be her possession of Medousa’s severed head, Wonder Woman defeats the mighty champion and Zeus is forced to concede the throne. The assembled deities assent to this change of leadership, but the three brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon are not happy, a fact that Ares is well aware of. Athena asks her champion if there is any boon she would have the goddess grant, but denies her the one unspoken wish that is on her heart, saying it is not yet time for this desire to be granted. She does, however, warn Wonder Woman that a storm is gathering from many directions.

On Olympus, Ares has returned from a visit to Hades. He is summoned by Athena, and tells her that someone is trapped there, tortured and frail but alive. Meanwhile on Earth, Wonder Woman and the Flash are confronted by two of their most dangerous enemies, Zoom and Cheetah. While Cheetah deals with lash by clawing at his hamstring, Zoom takes Wonder Woman to Themyscira, where he plans to ‘make her better’ by killing some of the Amazons. Diana is able to prevent this, although he does injure Io, and Flash is able to steal Cheetah’s newly-gained speed. However, the two villains soon disappear, only to join up with Doctor Psycho.

Wonder Woman then rescues Ferdinand from the clutches of another of the Empousai, realising for the first time the true depths of her chef’s feelings for Dr. Anderson.

Wonder Woman, Pegasus, Ferdinand and Wonder Girl face Hades, lord of the underworld and his host of the dead in order to rescue Hermes. Before long, Hades has Wonder Woman within his power and although mercy is requested it is not granted. Thankfully, Ares arrives on the scene, initially seeming to be on Hades’ side, but actually present in order to kill him at Athena’s behest. Zeus recognises his own folly, and asks to return to Olympus with Hermes, Ares, Wonder Woman and her companions, where he begs Athena’s forgiveness and pledges not to challenge her rule. Athena promises to grant her champions a boon for their service. Ferdinand asks to be made human, but neither Athena nor Hermes can grant this desire. Wonder Girl learns that Zeus is her true father. And Wonder Woman asks for Martin Garibaldi to be returned to life, a task that Hermes is able to perform, transforming the boy from stone back to flesh once more.

On returning to the embassy after a talk with Wonder Girl, Wonder Woman realises that Jonah McCarthy may not be who he claims to be.

Talking to someone unknown, Diana attempts to explain her actions when she killed Max Lord. She stands by her decision; it was the proper one. But she also knows she killed a friendship. Superman is in disbelief over what she had done. He called it murder. Before they could talk further, Black Canary called from the JLA Watchtower; things were going wrong. Wonder Woman flew to Seattle to stop a Tsunami, but there was nothing. She then flew to Arizona to avert a nuclear accident. Afterwards she returned to the embassy to find Jonah McCarthy, a member of Checkmate. Diana wanted to know why Jonah was spying on her. He told her it is because she is a threat, because like Superman, she has powers than can crush a normal person. Diana tried to get him to go to the authorities, but Jonah would never admit his involvement with Checkmate and regardless what Diana coaxed out of him with the lasso, it would never hold up in court. And she tells all of this to Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) hoping that he would understand, hoping she had not killed her friendship with him as well. Bruce tells her to get out and she leaves.

Meanwhile, Athena forbids Wonder Woman to turn herself into the authorities for the death of Max Lord, but Diana is adamant that this is the right thing to do. Later, at the embassy, Diana tells her staff first of Jonah’s connection to Checkmate and then her killing of Max Lord. In the middle of the explanation, three OMACs (children playing in the park) attack her. They have been ordered to eliminate her and offer her the chance to surrender to avoid civilian casualties. Diana refuses and is able to de-activate two and then throw the third away from populated areas. The OMAC lands in a steel factory and attempts to drown Diana in molten fire, which the OMAC thinks eliminates her. It has no effect on Wonder Woman and she is able to de-activate the OMAC. She takes the child to the hospital. In the emergency room, she watches on TV as the news station replays the footage of Wonder Woman snapping Lord’s neck.
