[[Brian Azzarello]] and [[Cliff Chiang]] were assigned writing and art duties respectively and revamped the character's history considerably. In this new continuity, Wonder Woman wears a costume similar to her original Marston costume (except with a red-black-silver color scheme rather than the classic red-blue-gold), uses a sword and shield, and has a completely new origin. No longer a clay figure brought to life by the magic of the gods, she is, instead, a [[demi-goddess]] and the natural-born daughter of [[Hippolyta (DC Comics)|Hippolyta]] and [[Zeus (DC Comics)|Zeus]]. Azzarello and Chiang's revamp of the character was critically acclaimed, but highly divisive among longtime fans of the character.<ref>{{cite web|first=Joey|last=Esposito|title=The Best of DC Comics in 2011|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2011/12/14/the-best-of-dc-comics-in-2011-2|website=[[IGN]]|date=December 14, 2011|access-date=December 14, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121007203245/http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/12/14/the-best-of-dc-comics-in-2011-2|archive-date=October 7, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| last= Renaud| first= Jeffrey| title= Azzarello Lowers the Boom(Tube) on Wonder Woman| url= http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=40597| website=[[Comic Book Resources]]| access-date= August 22, 2012| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120824065430/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=40597| archive-date= August 24, 2012| url-status= live| df= mdy-all| date= August 22, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Garcia|first=Joe|title=The Best & Worst of DC Comics' New 52, One Year Later|url=http://fronttowardsgamer.com/2012/09/05/the-best-worst-of-dc-comics-new-52-one-year-later/|publisher=Front Towards Gamer|access-date=September 5, 2012|quote=Despite being one part of the Justice League's "Holy Trinity", Wonder Woman never seems to get the recognition that she deserves. While she might not be invincible, her strength is second only to Superman and she is arguably a better fighter. Her solo outings, however, were rarely very interesting. The New 52 put an end to that injustice, with Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang spearheading one of the best books DC is putting out. Azzarello currently has Wonder Woman tearing through the ranks of Greek mythology, and Chiang's art manages to be intense despite his use of softer lines.

This fifth volume of ''Wonder Woman'' is part of the "DC Universe", the current continuity established after Rebirth. Initially, the new series does not use a regular storyline that exists between each issue; instead two separate storylines share the book, with an installment of one story published every other issue, and those of the other storyline published in between those. This practice began with the storyline "The Lies", for the odd numbered issues, and "Year One", for the even numbered issues. The new storyline as presented in these issues effectively retcons the events from the previous New 52 series. "The Lies"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2017/03/03/wonder-woman-the-story-keeps-changing|title=Wonder Woman: The Story Keeps Changing|date=March 3, 2017|access-date=November 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014125526/http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2017/03/03/wonder-woman-the-story-keeps-changing|archive-date=October 14, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> storyline reveals that numerous events from the previous ''Wonder Woman'' series, in which Diana was made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War, were in fact all an illusion created by a mysterious villain, and she had never once been back to Themyscira ever since she left, nor is she capable of returning there. The "Year One" story is presented as an all-new origin story for Diana,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/wonder-woman-rebirth-origin/|title=Wonder Woman: Rebirth Begins Diana's REAL Origin Story|website=[[Screen Rant]]|date=June 9, 2016|access-date=November 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171015085058/http://screenrant.com/wonder-woman-rebirth-origin/|archive-date=October 15, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> which reveals how she received her powers from the Olympian Gods,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/wonder-woman-rebirth-superpowers/|title=Wonder Woman: Rebirth Reveals How Diana Got Her Powers|website=[[Screen Rant]]|date=September 16, 2016|access-date=November 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170921000619/http://screenrant.com/wonder-woman-rebirth-superpowers/|archive-date=September 21, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> which was intended to bring her back to her classical DC roots. Wonder Woman appears in DC Rebirth with a revised look with an ancient Greek motif, including a red cape and light armor fittings, such as [[pteruges]] and shin guards. Along with her lasso and bracelets, she now regularly uses her sword and shield. ''Wonder Woman: Rebirth'' artist Liam Sharp described the new armor as a utilitarian piece which allows her to move more freely.<ref>{{cite web |author=Christian Holub |url=https://ew.com/books/2017/03/03/dc-rebirth-wonder-woman |title=DC Rebirth: How Wonder Woman went back to her roots |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |date=March 3, 2017 |access-date=November 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171023144605/http://ew.com/books/2017/03/03/dc-rebirth-wonder-woman/ |archive-date=October 23, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2018, DC Comics announced [[G.

This meant the next issue was ''#750'' despite the previous issue being numbered only ''#83''. To celebrate, the issue was extra length and collected a variety of short stories celebrating the character of Wonder Woman with previous writers such as [[Phil Jimenez]], [[Gail Simone]] and [[Greg Rucka]] returning.<ref>{{Cite web |title=WONDER WOMAN #750 |url=https://www.dc.com/comics/wonder-woman-2016/wonder-woman-750 |access-date=May 14, 2023 |website=DC |language=en}}</ref> In early 2021, it was announced that [[Becky Cloonan]] and Michael Conrad would serve as the writers of ''Wonder Woman'' starting with issue 770 as a part of ''[[Infinite Frontier]]'', with Travis Moore serving as the initial artist.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Comments |first=Rich Johnston {{!}} Last updated {{!}} |date=December 5, 2020 |title=Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad, Travis Moore Join Wonder Woman #770 |url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/becky-cloonan-michael-conrad-travis-moore-join-wonder-woman-770/ |access-date=May 15, 2023 |website=bleedingcool.com |language=en}}</ref> Their run would last up to issue 800 in June 2023, where it was then announced that the series would receive a new #1 as a part of the Dawn of DC relaunch.

During the events of King's run, Diana also takes part in the DC-wide ''[[Absolute Power (comics)|Absolute Power]]'' event as she and other heroes face off against Amanda Waller after their powers are stolen from them by Waller. Diana teams up with Damian Wayne, whom she bonds with over the way that they feel that struggle to live up to the legacies of their parents, with Diana relating to how Damian views his father through the way she aspires to live up to her mother Hyppolyta. Damian and Diana also meet with Steve Trevor during their mission, who assists Diana and Damian on their mission and reconnects with Diana romantically. At the end of the event, Diana and the other heroes regain their powers. This run notably retcons Zeus's parentage of Diana and restores the origin of Diana's birth from clay as her canon backstory. It is fully restored when the Sovereign reveals that he killed Steve Trevor and reveals that Steve is in fact Elizabeth's father, though not in a traditional sense. After the Sovereign killed Steve Trevor to break Diana, he reveals that after Diana unsuccessfully attempted to bring Steve back from the dead, Diana went to Paradise Island and used her and Steve's essences and formed a child from clay. Diana called upon Hyppolyta to bring life to the child, in the same way that Aphrodite had done for Hyppolyta when she brought Diana to life.
