DC Comics and Infinite Frontier #0 Spoilers follows.
Wonder Woman’s Main Story Journey Revealed?
Writer Josh Williams teased the below.
The main story, the spine story, is Wonder Woman and Spectre. It takes place immediately after Dark Nights: Death Metal #7. So, it’s what happens to Wonder Woman after that scene. She’s on her way to ascend as she gets stopped by the Quintessence and they offer her a position to be with them. But if you remember at the end of issue seven, she was warned by the presence of the hand and the other side of the Source Wall. She was warned that because of all the things they were going to do at the end of Death Metal to restart the multiverse and make it infinite, there was going to be some kind of cost.
Before she agrees to keep ascending, she’s like ‘I have to know what that cost is. I have to know what is out there that was the cost.’ So, the Spectre offers to take her on a journey to try and find what that cost is, and that’s what takes us across the DCU and all these different chapters that were done by different creators, we go through the other chapters that I wrote…
…One of the things that comes up in it is this theme of anything is possible now. And it actually means something to us too; about this idea that the DCU feels unpredictable at this point, right? And I think we’re trying new things and trying different stuff. And if you look at ‘Future State,’ you can see all this exciting new talent coming in and how important this stuff is for Infinite Frontier is to keep that ball going and to bring in all of this really cool stuff going forward.
Now, narratively, the idea of anything is possible. There’s a scene where Wonder Woman and Spectre talk about it. Spectre says it: ‘There could be infinite wonder, but….’ she says, ‘…but there can also be infinite terror.’ And that cost of what the hand was talking to with Wonder Woman, I think that will be such a big deal throughout the story. I think that will be one of the bigger moments – when we get to the ending that John Romita did.
I think that’s the stuff that’ll be probably the bigger, like the ending the epilogue scene, I think will be a big deal because it ties into that idea that they’re having some kind of cost for bringing all this stuff back for untying the knot, for resetting the timeline, for resetting the multiverse there has to be some kind of cost. Once you see what that cost is, I think that’ll be a big moment.
Infinite Frontier #0 hits stores on March 2 / 3, 2021.
