Having already conquered the world of tennis and fashion, Serena Williams is making the transition to the comic book industry as she makes her debut in a comic book series that will see her play the role of Wonder Woman.
During the launch of DirecTV Stream this summer, Williams played the role of Wonder Woman in a series of commercials that saw her don a retro-themed Wonder Woman costume. It has been confirmed that the 23-time Grand Slam champion will be returning to the role as Wondrous Serena, where she resumes her fight for justice.
The comic book will initially be released digitally over four chapters in October, with a follow-up print edition coming out in November. Written by Amanda Deibert (Sensation Comics) with art by Cat Staggs (Smallville, Crosswind), the story begins in our world but quickly sees Williams pulled into the multiverse.
The synopsis reads as follow - "Williams’ grand slam tournament takes an unexpected turn when an invasion by ball-launching robots called the Retrobots sees her using her skills as a tennis champion to protect innocent bystanders. Discovering a tear in the fabric of space through which the robots emerged, Williams comes face-to-face with the interdimensional Wondrous Serena. The two of them must team up to save both of their worlds by stopping the Retrobots from punishing innocent people across the multiverse for potential future crimes.”
The campaign will expand into social media with a Twitter emoji showing Wondrous Serena holding her golden tennis racket as well as a Snapchat AR Portal come Oct. 6th. The Snapchat feature will allow fans to replicate the comic book experience by entering the AR via posters designed by DC Comics artists. Stepping into the brightly colored ‘80s inspired world that serves as the spot’s backdrop, participants can join the battle against the Retrobots by teaming with Williams and Wonder Woman as part of an interactive game.
Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
