Preview of Wonder Woman #7

I just stumbled across this preview while browsing ComicVine and I just wanted to say how much I love Cliff Chiang's art!

Like in this bottom panel, Diana looks like she has some real muscle around her midsection. I imagine she has killer six-pack abs under that costume! And this might just be an effect of the perspective, but she appears to be quite broad-shouldered (which I also love!). Her legs look quite toned and her arms actually look muscular as well. All in all one of my favorite representations of Diana ever!

The other characters also look great (see "reasonably proportioned"). I especially like Eros' design since a blond man with the golden pistols and a fabulous scarf is certainly an interesting take on a figure typically portrayed as a chubby angel wielding a bow and arrow.

Also like the caduceus Hermes is holding and using as a light source. Mundane utility is always awesome to me. :D


For the rest of the preview, go here www.comicvine.com/news/exclusive-preview-wonder-woman-7/144429/

PS If anyone else could share or direct me to their personal favorite depictions of Diana? Or even any other comic characters? I would be most appreciative.

Hercules, the Legendary Journey's kept the "beautiful young man" thing for Eros (albeit they kept the bow and arrow.



And IIRC Aphordite does berate him at one point for his immaturity, suggesting that the Romans had got it right when they depicted him as a child.

They did sort of reference the chubby Cupid by introducing his son (with Psyche), Bliss
