Wonder Woman and Circe Team Up Against Divine Threat in Absolute Wonder Woman #22
9Headline sums to 297 and reduces to 9 — The Closing, where the reference files a completion.
Wonder Woman joining forces with her archenemy, Circe? That's the shocking premise shaking up Absolute Wonder Woman #22, set to hit shelves on July 22, 2026. This isn't a friendly reunion; Diana and Circe are forced into an impossible alliance to confront a massive mythological force. The stakes are clearly sky-high when even the Amazonian princess needs a former foe's help.
Preview pages hint at Diana battling formidable aquatic tentacle creatures deep within the Underworld, all while a mysterious armored figure watches from above. It’s a visually striking setup that promises both action and intrigue. But the immediate threat isn't the only concern. The synopsis teases a separate, growing danger for Diana that takes a significant "evolutionary leap forward." This suggests a deeper, unfolding narrative beyond the immediate mythological clash.
Writer Kelly Thompson and artist Dillon Snook are at the helm, crafting what looks to be a pivotal chapter for the Amazon. Expect stunning visuals, given the mythological backdrop and the promise of epic confrontations. Hayden Sherman provides the main cover, with impressive variants from Terry Dodson, Rahzzah, and Juan Ferreyra. This issue is shaping up to be a must-read for anyone following Wonder Woman's legendary battles.
“Wonder Woman joining forces with her archenemy, Circe? That's the shocking premise shaking up Absolute Wonder Woman #22.”

Reading the nine
Counted letter by letter this headline comes to 297 — 9 once reduced. The weight sits in “Divine”, which carries 36 on its own and reduces to 9.
The 9 governs endings, compassion, and the closing of cycles. Its named subject, Diana, reads as a 2 (diplomat & cooperator), so the report and the thing it describes are pulling in different directions. It is a lens rather than a verdict, but it is a consistent one: the 9's sense of a cycle closing and something being released is the pressure under this report.
Split the headline again and the vowels give a Heart's Desire of 7 (inquiry) against a Personality of 11 (vision) in the consonants — inquiry underneath, vision on the surface. The gap between them is where the story is most interesting.
The Closing asks one thing of everything on it: work out what survived the ending. The 9 sentimentalises. An ending is not automatically a meaning, and the reference tries not to pretend otherwise. The other reports that reduce to 9 are collected on The Closing.
Catzye Take
This team-up is a huge deal, pushing the boundaries of hero-villain dynamics. It suggests high stakes that even an Amazonian warrior can't face alone. Fans will definitely want to watch how this alliance shifts Diana's world. Numerologically this is a 9, which is why it is shelved with the closing — endings, legacies, and what a finished thing leaves behind.
