Written by Gail Simone, art by Aaron Lopresti and Matt Ryan, cover by Darick Robertson, variant covers by Ivan Reis and Aaron Lopresti.

The final battle is here! Diana has regained her sense of self -- and with her mind and memory intact, she's an unstoppable force.

The Corvidae may live to regret their wager.
