The FINCH FAMILY takes control of WONDER WOMAN


Alright my fellow fanboys and fangirls with the outstanding creative team of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang about to end their epic three year stint it was only a matter of time before DC announced who would be left holding the literary lasso.

So after the battle for Olympus the husband and wife duo of David Finch and Meredith Finch will be in charge of Diana, her Amazons and every other aspect of the Wonder Woman mythos. Their goal: branch off from the gods and focus instead on her other relationships and responsibilities.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!

That sounds like this is going to become yet another book that’s featuring the interwoven universe shenanigans of the New 52. The lack of that was the reason I loved this ride so much…

David Finch had this to say:

A big part of what Meredith wants to do is write a story about a woman who is trying to take on all of those different things and try to make them all work together. We wanted to make her a little more flawed. She doesn’t always necessarily have the answers.

I’m going to admit that sounds kind of okay and that Ascension was one of my favorite comic finds. So I’m not completely let down by this but it’s going to take some time to get over the fact that we won’t see the epic works of Cliff Chiang no more.

His wife also spoke to the interesting aspect of a female tackling this icon:

It makes sense if you’re going to try to attract that female market that you appeal to them on every level — your writing demographic reflects the demographic of your readership. Upcoming story lines allow for a lighter tone and a more positive outlook for Wonder Woman. But while she might be a heroine, she’s no angel. That’s one aspect of being a female writer I can bring to her. Women tend to react in a different way, and I can bring some of that reactionary (thinking), going from your heart sometimes more than from your head.

With all the pieces added together what do you think? Is this is the right creative team to lead the legendary heroine? Or are you set to remove it from your pull-list?
