The third issue of Titan's Wonder Woman UK comic is published next week, on Thursday 10th August. Its 76 pages will reprint more of the highly acclaimed story The Lies, by Greg Rucka with incredible art by Derby-born Liam Sharp.
Wonder Woman searches for her lost home of Themyscira to try to understand her true place in the world. She has defeated one God in pursuit of the truth, but more lie in wait. With the help of Steve Trevor and the feral woman, Cheetah, can Wonder Woman find her way back home and solve the mystery of her twisted past?
Available from WH Smith and selected newsagents.
When Titan Comics published a Wonder Woman Special Edition last month it seemed it was a one-off, but presumably sales were good enough to warrant an ongoing status, and Wonder Woman No.2 is out now.
Wonder Woman's UK comic has some excellent material too, as it features the first three parts of The Lies, the sensational storyline by Greg Rucka and Derby-born Liam Sharp.
"In this issue we're featuring parts 1-3 of “The Lies”, in which Wonder Woman tries to rebuild her mission as Earth’s ultimate protector and champion. Daughter of the Amazonian Queen, Hippolyta, Princess Diana of Themyscira is one of the greatest super heroes in history.
She fights for truth and justice, and against cruelty and oppression, with god-like power and her Lasso of Truth. But who is she, really?"
Wonder Woman No.2 is available from WH Smith, selected newsagents, and comic shops, or you can order it directly from Titan Comics here:

Liam Sharp is an artist who's been in the business a long time, including work for Marvel UK, Marvel US, his own excellent Madefire company, and much more. This week he's illustrated the cover of 2000AD Prog 1976, in the shops today!
...and in June, Liam becomes the new artist on Wonder Woman as the comic is relaunched with No.1.
It's all part of the 'DC Rebirth' that sees all their comics revamped. Again? Yep, but I must admit I'm intrigued by several of the titles, and I'm definitely buying Wonder Woman now Liam's on board. Keep an eye on top comics news blog The Beat for more info about this and other U.S. comics.
