In our exclusive preview of Wonder Woman #52, Diana finds herself working with an unlikely team in part one of “The Enemy of Both Sides.”

Worlds collide in Wonder Woman #52 as Diana Prince teams up with Aztek and Artemis in the first installment of Steve Orlando’s four-part story “The Enemy of Both Sides.” The unlikely team of heroes must battle a rogue god to save someone from Diana’s past while fighting demons of their own in this thrilling and visually stunning book.

Orlando delivered an inspiring character dissection of Diana Prince with Wonder Woman #51 that serves as a segue into the rest of his five issue run on the title. After teasing apart the aspects of Diana’s personality, morals and ethics in that issue, Orlando transitions to Wonder Woman #52 where Diana must unify Aztek and Artemis in order to find Tezcatlipoca. If not for the hero she is, this mission wouldn’t work.

The story comes alive courtesy of the dynamic team of Aco (pencils), David Lorenzo (inks) and Romulo Fajardo Jr. (colors). The action jumps off the pages with a gritty in-your-face approach combined with a nod to the art and culture of the Aztec Empire.

In our exclusive preview of Wonder Woman #52, Aztek arrives to ask Diana for help. Diana notes that Aztek looks a lot different than the last time the two met. This Aztek, formerly known as Nayeli, became the new Aztek when Uno’s helmet found her. For all she knows she will be the last one to wear the mantle, and that’s why she needs Wonder Woman’s help to stop Tezcatlipoca once and for all now that a temple has popped up in the middle of the jungle. To do that, Diana recruits Artemis to join the fight and save the mysterious warrior in Aztek’s visions.

Wonder Woman #52 is the kind of book that will thrill existing fans while drawing in new ones. Orlando is a masterful storyteller who is taking readers along on an adventure that reveals the depths of Diana Prince’s multifaceted character as she works with a team of heroes who are still on the journey of self-discovery trying to figure out what they’re fighting for. With three more issues to go in this story we’re happy to go along for the ride!
