The latest issue of Tom King and Daniel Sampere’s Wonder Woman series has arrived, quickly becoming a divisive topic of those who’ve been reading the series. This issue got particularly spicy with its content, causing a quick rift with those who read through; King’s script called for the addition of various Bible verses throughout the series as a captive Diana is forced to weigh the differences between Christianity and her polytheistic beliefs. The character, and the issue itself, became a trending topic on X, the social media network formerly known as Twitter.

“I kind of write two kinds of comics, if you follow my career. I write these kind of deconstruction kind of sad dude looking outside of window comics, which I love. Things like Mister. Miracle. Human Target. Vision. Which are deconstructions of super heroes where I’m sort of taking them apart, figuring out what makes them tick, and having fun at the same time. And then I’ve written things like Superman: Up In The Sky and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which are not that,” King previously told ComicBook.com’s ComicBook Nation podcast of his take on the series.
“They deal with trauma. They’re huge big stories, they’re epic, and they have huge ups and downs, but the point of those stories is to say this character is almost perfect, is wonderful, and has such strength in them that comes from a legacy of being in all this media and having all these writers that my goal as a writer is to show you how awesome they are. And so that’s what Wonder Woman is,” he added.
