Artemis: Requiem - Vol 1 - #1 - 1996 - Into the Pit - (VFN)

dark, action-packed spinoff that thrusts Wonder Woman's fierce Amazon rival into her own blood-soaked spotlight. Written by William Messner-Loebs—who famously gave Artemis the star-spangled mantle during his acclaimed Wonder Woman run—and featuring early, ultra-dynamic art by Ed Benes, Artemis: Requiem #1 kicks off a brutal mini-series. "Into the Pit" drags the fiery Shim'Tar warrior out of the shadows of Paradise Island and directly into a horrifying descent into the underworld to confront her darkest past.

Having survived her tumultuous, tragic tenure replacing Diana as Wonder Woman—a reign that ultimately ended in her death—Artemis of Bana-Mighdall has been resurrected, but she is a warrior haunted by guilt and looking for redemption.
