How can Wonder Woman fight a darker version of herself? Well, that'✤s where Thor comes in.

DC's Thor, that is.

In this May's Wonder Woman #772 (as revealed in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC's May 2021 schedule), the Norse god Thor will return to the DCU to help the Amazing Amazon in an Asgardian ad♉venture she'll begin this March once the new creative team of Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad, and Travis M♔oore take over the book.

"Wonder Woman may have outsmarted the beasts of Asgard for now, but nothing has prepar🌜ed her for what's to come," reads DC's description of Wonder Woman #772. "Diana's darkest self has emerged as a new opponent, and she'll need help from an unexpected all🌠y whose connection to thunder has inspired many a tale: Thor!

"Can this god-and-demi-goddess duo find out what has disturbed the balance of things? Or are༺ they doomed to leave everything, including their lives, on the battlefield? Find out as this Norse narrative conﷺtinues!"

If y💧ou thought a superheroic Thor was the strict domain of M💮arvel, you'd be wrong - DC adapted Thor to superhero comics two decades before Marvel did. In fact, Marvel's Thor co-creator Jack Kirby created a version of Thor for DC back in 1942's Adventure Comics #75, with his Captain America partner Joe Simon.

It's not immediately clear if this Thor appeaꦰring in Wonder Woman #772 is that Thor, or perhaps another from DC can𒁃on - or some new version altogether.

We'll find out when Wonder Woman🍎 #772 goes o🍰n sale on May 11.
