Wonder Woman is in for some big changes as part of DC Comics' Infinite Frontier initiative.
The synopsis for Infinite Frontier #0 teases Wonder Woman settling "into a new role in the godsphere," with John Timms' variant cover for the issue showing off a brand-new outfit for the superhero. Furthermore, Diana Prince's role in Infinite Frontier doesn't stop there, with the solicitation for Wonder Woman #770 promising that she will soon find herself in the Norse afterlife of Valhalla -- and no idea how she got there.
"There's a framing device I'm working on, starring Wonder Woman and the Spectre, and we get to see sort of this sneak peek glimpse of what's happening, and we get to play around with these big toys and have some fun, getting a good lead-in to 2021 for DC and beyond," Infinite Frontier #0 co-writer Joshua Williamson said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
"The thing we're doing with Wonder Woman and the Spectre, that's written by me, Scott [Snyder] and James [Tynion IV] was drawn by John Timms, and that pretty much immediately picks up some of the pieces from Death Metal, and it lets us move that ball forward a little bit and show kind of what's going on with Wonder Woman and certain parts of the DCU," Williamson continued. "They act as our POV characters, they act as our witnesses, to this new DCU -- I say "new DCU," but it's the same DCU fans love, it's just time to move and to do like this next stage."
Written by Scott Snyder, Geoff Johns, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, Geoffrey Thorne, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Brian Michael Bendis, Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, Joëlle Jones and Tim Sheridan, and illustrated by John Timms, Howard Porter, Jones, Jorge Jimenez, Alitha Martinez, David Marquez, Stephen Byrne, Jamal Igle, Dexter Soy, Rafa Sandoval, Alex Maleev and John Romita Jr., Infinite Frontier #0 goes on sale March 2, 2021 from DC Comics.

- What. Is. Happening?! Wonder Woman just woke up in the middle of battle, with rampaging hordes of mythological beasts bearing down on her! Not even the Princess of the Amazons can survive such an assault, but that’s okay—it’s just another day in Valhalla! The warriors here spend their days fighting and their nights drinking—and if they die in combat they’ll be resurrected in time for the party. Strange, though, that no one seems surprised to see Wonder Woman in this crowd. It’s up to Diana to find out why things are going wrong in the Sphere of the Gods—and whether it has anything to do with what landed her in the Norse afterlife.
- This bombastic adventure comes from the new creative team of writers Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad (DC Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman) and artist Travis Moore (Nightwing)!
- In the backup story, the world may know her as Wonder Woman, but once upon a time she was just Diana of Themyscira, a young girl struggling through adolescence on the shores of a mysterious island. Brought to you by Eisner Award winner Jordie Bellaire and fan-favorite artist Paul Ganucheau, this new backup story will present an intimate look into the princess’s upbringing and the hidden secrets of her past.
