Wonder Woman #18

Walking through explosions, threats, and would be rivals, Wonder Woman arrives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and proceeds to, quite literally, kick the door down. The time of reckoning has come. The inevitable confrontation between Diana and the Sovereign looms throughout the issue, although it saved for at least another month. What we do get is Wonder Woman fighting past the would-be soldiers and even a new General Glory, with a little surprise for Grail, while the Wonder Girls remain at home taking care of Diana’s daughter allowing Wonder Woman to make the stand on her own (well, with a little help from a friend).
