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.
Synopsis - Come Back To Me - Part Twelve
The Light Lords chide Sibella for trying to escape and demand they introduce her follower. Diana after telling them who she is, tells them to leave permanently and Sibella states that she is more powerful than them both. They refuse to believe such a notion, but Diana states she is capable of controlling everything and will kill them both if they do not leave with Sibella backing up her words. The Light Lords ridicule the claim and state they would have heard of her if she was so powerful, with Diana responding that they should know better than to think they know everything.
The Amazon teleports the Light Lords to a galaxy they don’t know about and grabs them with a giant hand of stone, however they soon break free. She then zaps them with a shock blast, surprising them, and then sends giant beasts to attack them but they are all killed. As the male Light Lord angrily tells her it will make no difference, the female one starts becoming suspicious while Diana drowns them in a tidal wave. As they come out of the water, they tell her to prepare to die. Diana states she has unlimited power and they will eventually fall no matter how long they fight as she smashes other planets into the one they are on.
It is revealed that Wonder Woman has been fooling the Light Lords with a simulation and learns that she needs to buy time for the ship those two are in to crash into a star. The Light Lords state they are unstoppable and tell Diana to stop resisting being devoured, though she states she will not stop no matter what. Both of them however suspect something is up and the female realizes they’re being fooled. Diana tells them that they were only being distracted so the ship whose matrix they had entered to chase her and Sibella in was sent into a small dense star and their fate was of their own making after they refused to leave peacefully.
As their ship enters the sun, the Light Lords are destroyed and Sibella thanks her for ending their threat. Diana however states that she herself took many lives like them and she agrees to repent from her evil ways. Meanwhile Diana’s compatriots land back on the same island they were earlier stranded on and realize it’s calmer now. Steve feels troubled at the prospect of Diana staying behind but gets assured by Etta she’ll be safe. Cheetah then takes her leave stating she’s sick and Jonah tells them she can’t be fixed. They soon get surprised by another spaceship but realize it’s passengers are Diana and Sibella.
Sibella explains how she and Diana defeated the Light Lord and promises to mend her ways in addition to sending everyone back to where they belong. She however can’t promise that Nate will be resurrected. As they land back in time before Steve’s experimental flight, they are delighted to find Nate is alive. Etta suggests that they postpone the test flight and instead eat out together instead to which everyone agrees. As Nate smacks a mosquito, everyone laughs when he says they’ll be the death of him, remembering how he was killed by giant insects.

Flash and Wonder Woman attack Cheetah, who reveals that she has been hunting the San Tribe for days, because they also want to kill her.
Hara tells Batman that he misunderstands what the Cheetah is;
For centuries, the San Tribe has hunted alongside the Cheetahs. And every generation, one of their people is chosen to become the host of the Goddess of the Hunt; the Cheetah. Hara explains that her mother was the last pure Cheetah of the Tribe. She led the Tribe until she was killed by a hunter wielding the “Godslayer”, a powerful knife said to have killed numerous deities across time. However, the Cheetah goddess lived on, possessing the knife and cursing the hunter. Eventually the knife ended up in the hands of Barbara Minerva, who used it to become the Cheetah. Until Barbara dies, the Cheetah will forever be lost to the San Tribe.
Wonder Woman pushes Cheetah into a river, and Arthur is able to capture her.
The League imprisons Barbara in Belle Reve, only for it to be exactly what she wants. Cheetah contacts her superiors, stating that she successfully entered the prison, and is waiting for Black Manta’s arrival.
Back on the Watchtower, the League discovers that Barbara was a wanted criminal before she met Wonder Woman, and that Barbara Minerva isn’t her real name, only an alias. The Cheetah didn’t corrupt her, she corrupted the Cheetah.
Following the revelations, Superman takes Wonder Woman to visit his hometown of Smallville. Superman tells her about his life, and he encourages her to move forward from her deception. The two embrace and share a kiss, while Batman watches from above.
