The event kicks off on October 3 with
Wonder Woman and Justice League Dark: The Witching Hour #1, a 48-page one-shot drawn and covered by Jesus Merino. Riccardo Federici provides a variant cover for the issue, which finds goddess of magic Hecate awakening the Witchmarked, within whom she stored vast amounts of power. One of those magical batteries is Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman #56 follows on October 10. With interior art by Emanuela Lupacchino and Ray McCarthy, the issue sports an enhanced foil cover by Yasmine Putri and a variant cover by Jenny Frison. In the issue, Justice League Dark have escaped Hacate (for now), and Wonder Woman is investigating whether she can harness Hecate’s Witchmarked power herself
On October 17,
