** In the first issue, Wonder Woman is drawn to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery, which has been taken over by a Black Lantern, who has also placed the sentinels who guard the tomb under mind control to fight Diana. She frees them from the mind control with the golden lasso, then tells them to escape while they can. They refuse to abandon their duty or leave their post at the tomb, and dig in to fight alongside Wonder Woman... against what's basically a superpowered zombie.

** In the first
issue, Wonder Woman is drawn to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery, which has been taken over by a Black Lantern, who has also placed the sentinels who guard the tomb under mind control to fight Diana.

** After Wonder Woman [[FightingFromTheInside involuntarily]] pummels mercilessly at Mera under the influence of the Black Lantern Ring, she weakly tells the latter to run and immediately flies away from any other heroes she might be compelled to kill under the ring's control. Just when it appears she has started a massacre on her Amazonian kin (Wonder Girl and Donna Troy killed, and Hippolyta pinned on the ground), in comes a batarang with what appears to be Bruce as Batman, giving her a kiss. In what may seem like a copout, this all turns out to be a mirage created by Aphrodite in order to allow the ring to run its course as she fights it off, as Diana notices a Star Sapphire Ring flying around her. The goddess of love tells her that Diana's love for all existence must survive, so she helped Diana break free of the Black Lantern Ring's curse with the Star Sapphire Ring. As she flies off in Star Sapphire mode, Diana's last line doubles as an Awesome moment:
--> '''Diana:''' It must do more... it must triumph.
** The third and final issue has Diana gazing in awe at the rays of light generated by her new ring as she is approached by Carol, who immediately notes her limitless capacity for love. Diana immediately picks up on Carol's unrequited love for Hal and tells her that it doesn't suit either of them for her to keep it to herself. (Carol later kisses Hal before the latter is willingly possessed by Parallax.) Later, after engaging with Mera a second time, the latter possessed by [[UnstoppableRage a Red Lantern Ring]], Diana, with the lasso's help, notices the latter's pent up anger from years of lies and regrets from her fallen husband and son, and calms her down somewhat.
