This series was sold exclusively at Walmart stores in the United States. It was part of a larger partnership with DC Comics which was launched in July 2018. The first issue continued the story from Justice League Giant #7 but subsequent issues featured one original story per issue and various reprints from Wonder Woman and Justice League titles.
The final issue was published in August 2019 and was replaced by a new series with the same name starting in September 2019, although the new series was not exclusive to Walmart.
The main story “Come Back To Me” was subsequently re-printed as a mini series in 2020.

Five days after the Justice League’s encounter with David Graves, Wonder Woman confronts Cheetah in Central Park. Diana pleads with Cheetah, as she wants to help free her friend from the villainous curse. Barbara rebuffs Wonder Woman’s offer, believing that humans are really animals, and cattle to slaughter.

Barbara oversaw the Black Room at A.R.G.U.S, and one day received a Ritual Dagger from a lost tribe in the Amazon Rainforest. Barbara accidentally cut herself with it, and was possessed by the Goddess of the Hunt, and became the Cheetah.

Synopsis - Gimme Shelter
This story is reprinted from Wonder Woman (Volume 3) #5.
At DMA headquarters, Sarge Steel plays a couple of advertisements for Athenian Women’s Help Shelters for Diana Prince and Nemesis. The ads show abused women being inspired by Wonder Woman to find help and take control of their lives, sometimes going a little too far. Steel sends Diana and Nemesis to check out the shelter, as it’s the closest thing they have to a lead in their search for Wonder Woman.
Diana meets with Allison Addison, the woman in charge of the shelter, who explains that the only link they have to Wonder Woman is that she was personally inspired by her example. As they talk, a woman urgently calls for help, and Diana flies off to help her. As Wonder Woman, she arrives at the address she overheard and breaks through the wall. She grabs the man, threatens him, chokes him, and throws him through the door to the front lawn, where he begs for the police to arrest him.
Later at DMA headquarters, Diana reports that there is no connection between the shelter and Wonder Woman. Elsewhere, a bailiff brings the abusive man’s lawyer to meet with his client, and they find him quite dead and splattered all over the room.
