Mark your calendars for June 3, 2026, because this is one release you won’t want to miss!
Dreamer, who made her grand debut in the CW series Supergirl back in 2018, is not just your average superhero. Portrayed by the trailblazing Nicole Maines, the first openly trans actress to play a trans superhero on TV, Dreamer brings a unique flair to the DC universe. With her dream-based powers and a heart full of courage, she’s ready to take on the world—and now, she’s ready to take on Wonder Woman’s legacy!
The plot thickens as Dreamer enters an alternate reality alongside fellow hero Galaxy (played by Taylor Barzelay), where they become Amazons and Nia takes on a pivotal role in Wonder Woman’s origin story. Talk about a power move! “The DC Pride priorities have always been to spotlight queer characters,” said DC editor Andrea Shea, who is clearly thrilled about this groundbreaking issue.
Shea continued, “2026 is the culmination of the last five years—what we’ve always been building toward: a series of stories that take place in the heart of DC continuity and serve as the next chapters for some of our most beloved characters.” And let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good origin story with a twist?
This comic is part of DC’s ongoing commitment to diversity and LGBTQ+ representation in their storytelling, with Pride issues rolling out annually since 2021. Other notable LGBTQ+ heroes in the DC universe include Batwoman, Harley Quinn, and the bisexual versions of Robin (Tim Drake) and Superboy (Jon Kent). It’s a colorful roster that showcases the rich tapestry of identities within the superhero realm.
So, get ready to dive into a world where Dreamer shines as Wonder Woman, proving that heroes come in all shapes, sizes, and identities. With Justice League: Dream Girls hitting the shelves soon, it’s time to celebrate the power of representation and the magic of Pride! For more juicy details, check out the official DC website.
