Warning: spoilers ahead for Future State: Wonder Woman #1!
In the absence of Diana Prince due to the aftermath of DC Comics’ Dark Nights: Death Metal, a new Wonder Woman has arrived in the DC Universe. Yara Flor is the latest hero to take up the iconic mantle, hailing from the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, and the first issue of her new series has just been released as part of DC’s Future State event, taking a look forward at the possible futures of the DC Universe. However, while this new Wonder Woman is certainly impressive in her own right, she also has one of the greatest sidekicks ever.
Future State: Wonder Woman #1 from Jöelle Jones introduces readers to Yara Flor in the Amazon rainforest, showing off her impressive skills as a warrior right off the bat. Some details on Yara’s origins are also provided, revealing that’s she been chosen to serve as interference between the worlds of god and man. It’s also implied that while Diana Prince is the chosen demigod daughter of the Greek God Zeus, Yara Flor is the chosen demigod daughter of Guarani God Tupã. As such, Yara appears to be quite the capable fighter in this issue, though she may need to work on her patience somewhat. While she initially believes herself to have slain a vicious beast, she turns away before she can see it rising again with multiple heads, revealing itself as a mighty hydra. While the monster’s many-headed second wind catches Yara off-guard, she thankfully has “Jerry” to help her out (despite taking his sweet time to get to her after repeatedly having his name called by Yara).
Right at the last possible second before Yara’s untimely end, Jerry arrives to save the day, revealed to be a winged horse a la the mythological Pegasus that swoops in to give her a ride. With Jerry’s help, Yara is able to defeat the hydra for good this time, and the pair fly off in victory, all while Jerry talks back, offering criticisms of Wonder Woman’s heroics in a horse-speak she can apparently understand all too well.
Jerry the flying horse is the perfect addition to this new Wonder Woman series, and seems to be a fitting companion for the new Amazon warrior. While Yara has some brashness, impatience and stubbornness she’s dealing with, Jerry seems to be somewhat lazy and have a mind of his own, complaining about her heroics but ultimately willing to lend a hand. The issue certainly shows that he’s more than willing to call Wonder Woman on any mishaps or errors she might have. Not only that, but Jerry is part of the Wonder Woman legacy, as Diana also originally had a flying steed, giving Yara a traditional ally in a brand new way.
While the rest of the issue features Yara venturing into the underworld where Jerry apparently isn’t allowed, it seems as though fans will be seeing more of him soon enough as DC’s Future State: Wonder Woman series continues. Jerry is the perfect mode of transportation with a hilarious attitude, and he’s already become one of the greatest sidekicks in the entire DC Universe after only one issue.
