The Suicide Squad/Killer Croc cover is a Magnola/Hellboy homage, right?

Also I really dig that Batman Beyond cover. Neon futuristic 80's as my bag, and I can practically hear the Drive soundtrack pumping from it.

I dig this cover for the Raven mini-series. I just hope it's better than the last one Marv Wolfman.

Because of the cartoons. Which I know doesn't make sense because Cyborg should also be a TT but that's essentially what we've been told.

That Batman Beyond design is really ugly. I feel like it runs counter-current to the entire point of the suit. It's not sleek. The bright red won't be blending into much. And the cowl makes him look like an old man.

Probably going to be a mentor figure like she was in Justice League vs Teen Titans.

Speaking of which, if they go with that Raven/Damian pairing like in that, I'm going to find it incredibly creepy considering Damian is literally going to kidnap all the team members from the sound of things.

All the problem lies with Greg Rucka.

EVERYONE loves my Wonder Woman covers and wants me to stay. Greg Rucka is the ONLY one who has any problem with covers. Greg Rucka has been trying to alter and censor my artwork since day one.

Greg Rucka thought my Wonder Woman #3 cover was vulgar and showed too much skin, and has been spearheading censorship, which is baffling since my Wonder Woman image is on model and shows the same amount of skin as the interior art, and it’s a VARIANT COVER and he should have no editorial control over it. (But he does. WTF?!!!)

I tried to play nice, not rock the boat and do my best on the covers, but Greg’s weird political agenda against me and my art has made that job impossible. Wonder Woman was the ONLY reason I came over to DC Comics.

To DC’s credit, especially [Art Director] Mark Chiarello, they have been very accommodating. But they are caught between a rock and a hard place.

I just wanted to be left alone and do my Wonder Woman variant covers in peace. But Greg Rucka is in a hostile power trip and causing unnecessary friction over variant covers.

Dan Raspler owns the art and stories, but DC owns the characters. So they could do a revival/reboot if they wanted to.

RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #3

“Dark Trinity” part three! Red Hood and Artemis set aside their differences when they discover the powerful weapon that Black Mask has been after: a fully-formed clone of Superman! But what should they do with it? They can’t possibly let something this powerful fall into the hands of the nefarious Black Mask, and perhaps if they play their cards right, he could become a powerful ally…but is the risk worth the reward?

I've got whiplash from how quickly DC became interesting and Marvel became uninteresting.


I can't help but side with Rucka on this regardless of the situation, because Cho's whole "OUTRAGE" schtick is just so loving retarded. There's ways for him to respond to criticism about his art. He could try to create a discussion, try to change minds. Instead, what he does is a circlejerk for one side, and further instigates the other. On top of it, he profits from his faux-faux outrage (does that make sense? he has fake outrage over fake outrage?) with his cover sketches.

It's a shame, as an artist he has great technique, his art is really super clean. But all he loving draws are women, and the same build of woman too. I don't come at this as "outrage" over sexism in art, I'm just talking about the art, period. Everyone woman is built like... well, his perfect version of Diana.

I'm happy to see him gone as the cover artist. Not because I find his art sexist, I don't care about that. I just don't like his version of Diana. It is completely uninteresting to me. On the other hand, one reason I'm so loving excited for this run is because I absolutely adore Nicola Scott's Wonder Woman. Again, not because Nicola's Diana isn't sexist, not an issue with me. Just hits the character better. Diana is love, she is mercy, she's the best warrior on the planet but she also cares for you. I don't see any of that in Cho's artwork. In fact, all I see is a clay statue. (Oh poo poo nice reference there)

Does Rucka have the right to censor Cho's covers? Maybe. It's Rucka's book more than it is Cho's, at least. Is Rucka an entitled SJW rear end in a top hat? We've got one side of the story, but it is a very real possibility. But I'll take Rucka's art, and especially his take on women, over Cho any day. Not because Cho is going to offend me. He's just going to bore me.

From what I've gathered, a lot of people are betting that part of DC's deal with Rucka to get him to come back to the work for hire realm after he so famously quit was editorial-level creative control of Wonder Woman, or at least some sort of veto. Most likely, editorial pushed for Cho to be the variant artist on this book, he didn't work out for whatever reason (due to being a diaper clad buffoon probably) and Rucka made some sort of request, either for him to be totally removed or for his work to be altered. DC figured that Rucka is the more valuable asset here, after all this is the dude who requested that Wonder Woman be removed from control of Eddie Berganza's editorial clutches and DC actually did it, so they listened. Looks like they just cropped the panty cover at first and Cho upended his mush onto his high seat, and let the door hit his rear end.

Basically, in no way is this censorship.

I like Cho's art and think his Wonder Woman covers have been quite good. That being said it's Rucka's book and if he thinks the covers don't represent his book for whatever reason that should be his call.

I have trouble finding this on any level to be censorship. DC owns Wonder Woman. Cho is a work-for-hire artist. If DC isn't happy with something in his art, they can change it, or they can not use his art. It's business. Censorship would be DC preventing Cho from doing more dumb-poo poo blank cover faux-faux-outrage sketches with DC characters.

Cho is free to draw his Wonder Woman, the way he likes. He just won't be paid by DC to do it. But no, CENSORSHIP whaaaa :cry:

To be absolutely totally honest, I feel like the original Cho cover is actually less risque than what they ended up trimming it to. In the original you can at least tell that she's wearing underwear. In the cropped one it's almost like her butt is bared.

In any case, to be clear -- as far as I can understand the sitch -- Cho wasn't fired. He quit.

The only argument I can see is that they shouldn't have cropped his art or modified it without his permission. Either use it as drawn or don't use it.

That said, a minor crop is pretty standard and it's STILL not censorship either way, just maybe something an artist might take issue with even if they aren't Frank Cho.

Yeah, I actually like the proportions of his women, even if it is super cheesecake-y most of the time. Which makes it even sadder that he's such an unlikable, whiny rear end in a top hat who is probably drawing hate-art of Rucka at this very moment.
