Y'all remember Ben Caldwell, the guy doing the Wonder Woman segment for Wednesday Comics? He's been posting art teases on his blog, and a few weeks back I put some of them up here.
He's posted a bit more art, so I've put some new pics up under the cut, but I'd also like to direct anyone who commented on the last post to this thread, in which Caldwell swings by to offer a response to some of our discussion. Partly because internet shelf life dictates that otherwise no one would see it, but mostly because (highlight for spoiler) OMG CHEETAH, which elicits in me a response very similar to the one Gage just got from
schmevil and batcookies for his Tigra comment.
I really do like this art. There's a fantastic sense of gesture and motion that's really my #1 desire from a comic, visually - I'll forgive a lot style-wise for art that's genuinely dynamic and alive, which is possibly why I appear to be the only one here who likes Scott McDaniel - and the still scenes don't even suffer for it, which sometimes happens with really fluid artists but you don't see at all here in the contemplative Poison-stares-at-her-pretty-needles images. Also, the style has a very light, airy fantasy mood to it that's very appropriate to Wonder Woman IMO (though that may just be conditioning from watching Disney's Hercules too many times).
The story, of course, we'll have to wait and see, but Irish faeries are a promising sign.
