An upcoming featuring Wonder Woman will have the superhero performing a same-sex wedding. In Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #48, which is currently available online and will hit shelves in November, Jason Badowerhe is helming the issue. He said he was inspired by the Obergefell ruling in June that legalized same-sex marriage throughout the United States. Via Advocate.com:
In the comic, Wonder Woman is sent on a United Nations mission to Crimea with Superman. After averting a potential war, the two return just in time for Wonder Woman to perform a wedding for a friend she met while volunteering in Katrina-ravaged New Orleans.
When Superman, in the guise of his alter ego Clark Kent, says he didn’t realize she supports same-sex marriage, Wonder Woman gives what may be the best retort in comic book history.
“Clark,” she says, “my country is all women. To us, it’s not ‘gay’ marriage. It’s just marriage.”
