A few gems from this week…
Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman #1
And how about this cover, which was an early version by Cliff Chiang that wasn’t used, I like EVEN BETTER. I mean…Wonder Woman with an awesome battle ax?! YES.
This is a great illustration for Legion of Super-Heroes #1, and a great example of how to do “floating figures” well…by integrating them into the design so that they’re not actually floating.
Marcos Martin continues to absolutely kill these Daredevil covers.

Some of you may have noticed that there was no Panel of the Week last week…the simple reason for that is because there is no way for me to scan basically the entirety of J.H. Williams III’s Batwoman #1.
And I just can’t pick one. It’s too hard. It’s like…NOBODY could make that decision.
Check out a few preview pages below so that you can understand the dilemma!

I don’t know if there were really that many great covers this week, or if I’m just feeling indecisive…but I have a bunch this week. Ironically in DC’s big first “52” week, only one of their covers makes my list:
Wolverine: Debt of Death by David Aja and Elizabeth Breitweizer:
Casanova: Avaritia #1 by Gabriel Ba:
The Punisher #3 by Brian Hitch:
Red Skull #3 by David Aja:
Animal Man #1 by Travel Foreman:

““Gates of Gotham” #5 does not end as strongly as it began, but it’s still a solid book with a strong ending to what was a compelling and different kind of Bat series.
Delving deeply into Gotham’s history, Scott Snyder and Kyle Higgins brought us something new and interesting with this series, and an aspect of Bat books that is too frequently paid lip service to but not actually explored: Gotham as a character itself…”

“Finally, we come to the end of this unsatisfying “Odyssey” arc for “Wonder Woman.” It’s hard not to breathe a sigh of relief and look with hope toward Cliff Chiang and Brian Azzarello’s take on Diana next month.
This issue of “Wonder Woman” feels like it was tacked on to get the “Odyssey” arc to match up with the September re-launch and, as a result, it reads like an anti-climactic re-hash of issue #613, with some saccharine pages at the end. Diana, having “reabsorbed” the rest of herself (don’t ask) in “Wonder Woman” #613, now fights Nemesis and defeats her. But since Diana kills Nemesis with Nemesis’ own sword, the sword binds to Diana and tries to make her the “new” Nemesis…”

“Bryan Q. Miller delivers in “Batgirl” #24 a powerful, inspiring, and emotionally satisfying ending to his little series that could, cut short before its time…”

“All of Scott Snyder’s plot threads weave together beautifully as a story that’s been building for months finally comes to a head in this last issue of “Detective Comics” before we head into re-launch. Graced with exceptional co-art by Jock and Francesco Francavilla, which could have been frustrating but manages to work nicely, Snyder pulls no punches as his epic story comes to a close…”
