I asked about it and was really impressed.

LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON: A couple of other authors were beginning to talk about the projects they were doing on social media. Plus, EW has an exclusive first look at the graphic novel, out next year.ĮNTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did you first hear about DC’s initiative to release more female-focused graphic novels? With Anderson weaving in real-world issues like refugee crises and child trafficking, she’s also hoping to make an impact by reaching young future activists.Īnderson knew immediately that it was “the logical launching point not only for Diana, our growing princess, to encounter real-world refugees, but then also to go through that experience herself.” Below, Anderson breaks down what readers can expect from Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed.

With new battles to be fought and new friends to be made, she must redefine what it means to belong, to be an Amazon, and to make a difference in a story about growing into one’s strength, fighting for justice, and finding home.īut Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed is more than just a reboot of Wonder Woman’s origin story. Now she must survive in the world beyond Themyscira for the first time - a world is filled with danger and injustice unlike anything she’s ever experienced. Cut off from everything she’s ever known, Diana herself becomes a refugee in an unfamiliar land. When Diana defies the Amazons to try to bring the outsiders to safety, she finds herself swept away by the stormy sea.

The new DC Comics YA graphic novel from the critically lauded author of Speak, illustrated by Leila del Duca, reimagines the Princess of Themyscira as a young girl on the eve of her 16th birthday as her celebrations are cut short when rafts carrying refugees break through the barrier separating her island home from the outside world.
