Any surprise that panel of the week is from Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman #1? No, no there is not!
Look at this page!!!
Gods sometimes comics are so awesome:
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.

You all saw my 5-Star review of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman #1 right?
I also did reviews for Nightwing #1 and Legion of Super-Heroes #1 this week.

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!

She Has No Head! is back kids! And back with a vengeance! Or you know, just regular geance. Which is not a word, I’m aware.
Anyway, I’m doing something called The Comics Project, which is in the vein of the popular Ladies Comics Projects that came before it, where I solicited lapsed and non-comics readers to read issues of the DCU’s “NEW 52”. Head on over to read all about it in Part 1.
It’s an easy win this week for J.H. Williams III’s long-awaited Batwoman #1:
But there were some very nice offerings this week beyond Batwoman, so some runner ups!
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9 #1 Variant by Steve Morris:
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9 #1 Variant by Jo Chen:
Mr. Terrific #1 by J.G. Jones:
And Pigs #1 by Jock. All #1’s…INNNNTERESSSSSTING.

“Opening up “John Carter: A Princess of Mars” #1, I had no idea what I was getting into. A kinetic and incredibly fun Skottie Young cover, an intriguing title, and a (far too slight) familiarity with Edgar Rice Burroughs’ work suggested it was something I should try out, though, and I’m glad I did…”

““Buffy The Vampire Slayer” is a hard comic for me to review, as I have to struggle to keep the emotionally invested fangirl parts of me balanced with the objective reviewer parts. Fortunately, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 9” #1 is a very good comic, so my job is made easy…”

Also…there was some craziness the past week and I didn’t have time to put posts up for my other reviews, but last week I reviewed:

I love Jim Cheung’s art, dude is a straight up badass. But what on the motherfuckingplanet is the excuse for this crap with Rogue’s costume? I mean…it’s just ABSURD.
The “Rogue costume problem” which went on for so long over the past year, has largely stopped. I haven’t seen her unzipped, or at least not to unreasonable levels for a very long time. So where THE HELL does this come from? Man, this kind of silly crap makes me so frustrated with comics.
C’mon Mr. Cheung, you are SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. What happened?!?!?

Also, I thanked Derek in the tweet about this post for the heads up, but didn’t do so in the actual post. Apologies Derek and thanks for the heads up!

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:
