We Talk To Artist Cliff Chiang About The Brand New Wonder Woman

Posted 9/20/11 3:09 pm EST by in Baltimore Comic Con, DC Comics, HeroesCon


If I had to pick one series out of DC’s "New 52" I'm most looking forward to, it would probably be Wonder Woman #1 -- out this Wednesday 9/21!  -- from the team of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang. For years, Chiang has been turning in some of the best comic book art ever, with a unique look characterized by thickly inked lines, and clean simple compositions. And fans have responded, snapping him his always welcome mash-up drawings (Teen Titans as The Breakfast Club! Batgirl on the Purple Rain poster!) and Con exclusives like hotcakes.

Baltimore Comic-Con: Mark Waid Talks About 'Healing' Daredevil (Video)

But underneath this new attitude is a character who has a lot of healing to do and past pain to deal with.

"Marvel and I had the same attitude which is: you know, as good as that book has been in the last ten years, it's always been about shattering Matt Murdock's life over and over again, and how miserable can we make him? And we kind of get to the point where I don't know what else to do...except make him deaf too?"

Lines wrapped around the convention floor for such comic luminaries as Stan Lee, Greg Capullo, David Finch, Adam Hughes and Barry Kitson, and fans swarmed spinner racks and tables full of the latest titles.
