@Vroom I love the New 52 run. I gotta say, Finch was not my favorite, but he did get much stronger toward the end of his run.
The problem I had with his art was that every character seemed to have the exact same face and facial expressions. Men, women, they all looked the same and emoted the same. It was strong art, but I just didn’t really connect with it. It was also tough since he had to follow Cliff Chiang and that’s not easy for any artist.
Well, I’m sure most of you saw me gush about George Perez over in the Book Club thread, but, well, yeah. Perez. In particular, his covers remind me of Renaissance-era paintings of classical mythology, and he brings out that aesthetic with just pencils and ink. It’s incredible.
Loving reading how you all have a Wonder Woman artist that connected with you.
@superby1 That’s the best. It’s hard to infuse a still image with life and comic book artists do it all of the time.
@BatJamags It might have been your comment that sparked this thread
@NYJt3 I remember before I started reading comics regularly, that was one image I saw around a lot. It’s a great cover. Right now we’re reading the first 6 issues of Wonder Woman 1987. So far, it’s a pretty good starting point for people new to Wonder Woman, I must say.
@Vroom Sure! They’re artists too after all. The costume department, Zack Snyder, Patty Jenkins, etc. have all given us an instant classic with their Wonder Woman aesthetic in the movies.
@NYJt3 Right? When I heard he didn’t want to make anymore superhero movies, I was bummed. Then he did the score for Dark Phoenix and signed up to do WW84. His score is going to be out of this world.
Rumor has it that a dump truck full of cash (marked “Property of Warner Brothers Pictures” in very small writing on its backside) pulled up to Hans’ home one day.
The day after, he decided to get back into scoring come book based movies. While he was financially wealthier, we the fans are culturally wealthier for having him back in our fold and having his wonderful music to anticipate and eventually listen to.
