10 Great DC Elseworlds Comics EVERY Fan Must Read

9. Wonder Woman: Amazonia

Kingdom Come 1
DC Comics

Ever wanted to know what you'd get if you threw Wonder Woman into a steampunk setting? Of course you have, who hasn't? And as Wonder Woman: Amazonia proves, such a combination is the coolest thing in the world when done properly.

The great thing about Wonder Woman's origin is that it lends itself wonderfully to different versions of itself. You just have Themyscira be discovered by someone different in a different point in time and voila, you have a different interpretation ready made!

In this case, like a much more famous story that we'll get to later, Wonder Woman enters the world of Victorian England, with all the gender politics and societal problems that come with it.

While not the best interpretation of a superhero entering Victorian England, it's certainly creative in its own unique way. And of course, it knows when to play the obvious card, such as Wonder Woman (of course) taking on Jack The Ripper. As trite as that storyline is, it's still a lot of fun, just like the rest of this comic.
