“Who Is Donna Troy?”
After returning from distant past adventures, Queen Hippolyta discovers she alone retains memories of Donna Troy’s existence, as some cosmic shift has erased the former Wonder Girl from collective reality and history. Driven to restore her adopted daughter, Hippolyta teams with Golden Age heroes Jay Garrick, his wife Joan, and speedster Wally West to trace lingering clues about Donna’s life and fate. Flashbacks revisit Diana’s lonely 12th birthday on Themyscira, hinting at hidden origins. Elsewhere, Donna suffers endless psychological torment from the vengeful Dark Angel, trapped in repeating cycles of alternate timelines filled with tragic, doomed realities designed to break her spirit. On Mount Olympus, the god-elevated Diana searches for the absent Pantheon, encountering only Harold Champion, who reveals his long-ago bargain trading identities with Heracles to live on Earth.
“Meanwhile”
Deep in Hell, chaotic demonic forces clash as sorceress Morgaine le Fey schemes amid bound Etrigan the Demon, infernal ruler Neron, and a future-aged, desperate Merlin, with threads connecting to Donna’s cross-dimensional imprisonment and impending rescues.
