Who would ever think that the power of two ladies can be combined to fight crimes and serve justice? First, it was the dynamic duo, Batman and Robin. Now it's time for Wonder Woman and Bionic Woman to shine.

Wonder Woman, played by Lynda Carter and Bionic Woman, played by Lindsay Wagner in the TV series will team up in a comic book to battle a secret villain faction named CASTRA. The villainous group is strong-willed to create pandemonium and pilfer deadly weapons. Andy Mangels will write the series for the new comic book and Judit Tondora will provide illustrations while Alex Ross and Cat Staggs will contribute multiple varied covers, CNET reported.

Mangels could not hide his excitement on the project and is thrilled that the two feminist figures will get together for the first time. The best thing about it is he's going to work on crafting stories for the comic book.

Blastr reported that the comic book series will be entitled "Wonder Woman '77 Meets The Bionic Woman". The project is a collaboration between Dynamite Entertainment and DC Comics for a new crossover episode. Their previous team up, "Batman '66 Meets The Green Hornet" has proven to be extremely famous among fans when it was launched in 2014.  According to Dynamite CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci in a press release:

"The Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman television series were some of the most exciting of their time, and these two characters perfectly complement one another. To finally see them together is a historic event for an entire generation of fans. This is going to be one of the most exciting crossovers we've done yet!"

The outline of the new comic book series is about two government agents Jamie Sommers aka "The Bionic Woman" (played by Lindsay Wagner) and Diana Price aka "Wonder Woman" (played by Lynda Carter), who joined forces to deal with a threat to national security.

"Wonder Woman '77 Meets The Bionic Woman" will be launched on Dec. 7.
