Artwork by David Finch
This is something most of us comic book geeks already knew that Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang were leaving the series. The new artist and writer will be husband and wife David and Meredith Finch (why does even this feel like a gimmick too?). They will take over starting with issue #36.
According to the USA Today article, the new duo want to focus on Diana's interpersonal relationships and her responsibilities to the Amazons and her fellow heroes in the Justice League. Why does this seem like the new direction will include that fauxmance between Wonder Woman and Superman. So far the Wonder Woman series has made zero mention of that relationship but I bet that will be one of the first things that will be addressed.
The artist claims that this new direction is supposed to attract new female readers. Why does it feel like the fauxmance is going to be the big draw?
I guess they also have plans for Diana's as well, according to David, he says "We want to make Diana a little more flawed. She doesn't always necessarily have the answers". So does that mean they will be turning her into the New 52 Justice League version who is an angry airhead and can't seem to figure out much without someone telling her.
What is with all of these Superheroes needing to be "flawed" all the time. Is there anything wrong with a Superhero that's not broken and doesn't have a ton of issues?
I will give issue #36 a chance but if Wonder Woman is turned into another stupid dumb down character then I will have drop this series.
