Right now, everything seems particularly dark. There’s never been a greater need for heroes to light the way – powerful figures that exude hope, truth, positivity and justice. It’s the perfect time, then, to look forward to a brand new Wonder Woman adventure with Gal Gadot returning as Diana Prince, the brightest star of the DCEU.

And this month’s subscriber cover, created exclusively for Empire by Christopher Lee Lyons, sees Wonder Woman brandishing the Lasso Of Truth in a dazzling display of vibrant neon.

Also inside this month’s mag, Tom Hanks writes exclusively for Empire about hope and his new movie Greyhound, we catch up with Russell Crowe to look back at Gladiator 20 years on, and get warm and fuzzy in brand new feelgood section, The Comfort Zone. The Wonder Woman 1984 issue arrives on Thursday 16 April – here’s how you can get a copy while social distancing. Stay home, stay safe, and we hope you enjoy.
