The former World No.1 also paired up with Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) for a digital comic named ‘Serving Up Justice.’ For this exclusive series, Critical Mass and DC Comics collaborated. The series consists of four chapters.

Williams stated, “I love the world of superheroes and first fell in love with that world through comic books. It’s a dream come true to be able to play Wonder Woman for DIRECTV. I had so much fun conveying such an iconic character on-screen and in our very own comic book.”
