"Ends of the Earth" is the name of a four-issue comic book story arc written by Gail Simone with art by Aaron Lopresti. Published in issues #20-24 of "Wonder Woman (Vol. 3)", it is the third story arc under Gail Simone's writing reigns, following The Circle and a two-parter found in issue #18-19. It also marks the return of DC Comics's version of the Beowulf character since his last appearance back in the 1970s.

Plot

At a location where snow is falling and it is cold in the wind, Wonder Woman walks to her destination. She is hunted and attacked by wolves, whom are diseased and are in no control of their attacks. With her help, Diana lets the wolves die in peace as like they were warriors before continuing on. Eventually, she finally reaches a bar where the likes of myth such as barbarians are there. She sits, and then after waiting, who she was waiting for finally arrives: Beowulf. Some time before all this; Diana is assigned to create her own team as part f the [Department of Metahuman Affairs] . This assignment makes her know that Sarge Steel is on to her. After lunch with friend Etta Candy, the same intruder from her apartment (from The Circle) appears. He says he has no name, but lets it out that he is a demon (he is known throughout as The Stalker). So Diana uses her lasso of truth to see if he is telling the truth: the end result leaves her cold and shaken as the man has no soul. The man has come to give a quest for Diana to do for him: kill "D’Grth" aka the devil. Back in the present, the meeting between the barbarian and the Amazing Amazon doesn’t start off well. Then, peasants loyaled to Grendel, whom Beowulf was asking for, prepare to attack them.
