Over tea at the Harvard Club, professor William Moulton Marston offered her a job - not in the classroom or psych lab, but in the office of his 43rd Street art studio. He wanted Ms. Hummel to help him write scripts for Wonder Woman, the Amazonian superhero he had created three years earlier and endowed with a magic lasso, indestructible bracelets, an eye-catching red bustier and a feminist sensibility.

Comics Wire: One more round of virtual cons, Captain America team-up and more!

Welcome to Comics Wire, SYFY WIRE s weekly comics column that gets at the pulse of what s going on in comics right now. We ve got what you need to know about huge crossovers, real-life issues facing the industry, cool first looks, the week s hot new comics, and everything in-between. We re coming up on a year of running this column, and I know that because the week we started it turned out to be the week that Diamond Comics Distributor paused service amid the spreading COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns that resulted. That all simultaneously feels like it happened five years  and five minutes ago, but because everyone online has been musing about where they were and what they were doing when the lockdowns started last spring, I ve also been thinking about where we are now in the world of comics, where we ve been, and what s still left to do before we get back to normal again.
