Wednesday Comics #1

[arbre_rieur.insanejournal.com]

Warning: As those of you who've picked up an issue of Wednesday Comics know, these pages are HUGE. Those with slower connections should keep that in mind.

First panel of the third row on the Metal Man page, does anyone recognize the guy in gray with a brimmed hat? He looks way too conspicuous to just be a background extra.

I would like WW so much more if the text were easier to read. But I think it's really, really pretty.

I think my favorites were The Flash and Metamorpho.

The awesome and the pretty is killing me. Can't wait until this gets published around here.
Also, I'm rebooting my personal canon to include thw Wonder Woman sequence.
Rebooting in 3, 2, 1...

Must... have... this... Oh, God, I'm so going hunting for it now.

[thehefner.insanejournal.com]

Pure fun and delightfulness! This was so worth the hype!

The first issue anyway. I'm pleasantly surprised that it hasn't flopped so far, as I feared it would. Still, here's hoping everyone checks it out!

[gargoylekitty.insanejournal.com]

Huh, I figured pages from it'd be against the rules since each have a different creators.

I still like the art for the Wonder Woman one though I wish they'd given him an inker or something because I really didn't like how incomplete the color on pencils(at least it looks like that) feels and how hard it was to read in some parts on the page.

The Supergirl one is quite cute.

One of the best "gimmicks" either of the big comapanies have come up wth in years. These are for the true fans of the comic medium. :) :)

That Supergirl story killed me with cute.

[schala_kid.insanejournal.com]

These are all cool and i really enjoyed Wednesday Comics # 1 and I can't wait for next week!

Supergirl one was really cute although she seems to be missing her shorts.

on Metal Men -

I so don't even begin to give a crap about the Metal Men and never have, but I could stare at Garcia-Lopez art forever, so aces in my book.

on Wondy -

The newsprint medium is doing Caldwell's art no favors. The samples from his blog were a lot cleaner and easier to parse - it's coming across here like, half as gorgeous as it actually is. Also, nits to pick: "Last of the Amazons" is kind of a weird and ill-fitting title, but perhaps it will be explained further. "I've never talked to animals before" excises one of her few relatively unique and thematic powers, but perhaps she just means "in a human language." We'll have to wait and see, I guess.

That said, mmm, tasty mythology. ^_^ The "not a superhero" conversation is a nice touch, too. And "collect the Seven Stars" already sounds epic. Looks good, as far as first pages go, oh my yes.

on Supergirl -

I miss my dogs. That is all.

Huh. I guess Didio really does like the Metal Men.

I asked the mods earlier this week, and we're allowed to post five pages per issue and four pages of each run. So a third of each story (given the twelve week run) and a third of each issue.

Only while I was trying to figure out how to go about scanning a thing four times as big as my scanner, we post this post. I'm not complaining!

[kingrockwell]

I see your scanner must be bigger than mine, though you did pick at least one of the ones I was going to post (it is really fascinating to see Didio actually doing something tangible).
I've been showing my copy to everyone I know, this is the comic that has me most excited this summer.

[gargoylekitty.insanejournal.com]

Oh well, I'd be too lazy to do it anyway.

The trick is scanning it in parts and putting it back together in photoshop or something.

[kingrockwell]

Or look for a CBR :/

[regnet.insanejournal.com]

I actually just bought this today and I loved it, the only thing I didn't like was the Wonder Woman page. It was too crowded and the art was sketchy, and I'm pretty sure one could have been avoided by stopping the other.

[gargoylekitty.insanejournal.com]

Well there is that. XP

[kingrockwell]

Aside from scanning troubles, the other reason I hadn't posted anything was that there wasn't a CBR available. After a quick search when I saw this post, looks like there is now.

Phantom Stranger, maybe?

Also, Mercury is totally rocking that afro.

Also, puppies!

I like the art in the wonder woman strip

[lieut_kettch.insanejournal.com]

I love Amanda Conner's art on the Supergirl story. With the return of the classic costume and Kara approaching Peej-esque proportions (not to mention a super-powered Streaky), I wonder if this is meant to be pre-Crisis Kara or (even better IMO), a grown-up future Kara.

Joker sprung immediately to mind.

[(Anonymous)]

This. He's wearing a purple suit with the hat, my first immediate thought was, 'That's the Joker'.

[jupiterrhode.insanejournal.com]

Agreed. The flowery text is just needless.

[toasty_fresh.insanejournal.com]

Mte.

[jupiterrhode.insanejournal.com]

The colors on the Wondy strip are to die for, but I can't really call myself a fan of the art because it's so unfinished looking.

And I have no idea how I feel about the content. There's the calling Themyscira "Paradise Island" which always earns a reflexive twitch, there's the apparent unfamiliarity with her powers--even her powers of flight, and for some reason the term mortals world, while technically more accurate, sits unwell with me.

That said, from what little there is to go on it looks like this could be a good chance for Diana to go and do epic things like she does best, and for Diana to just be Diana without any of the crap we've got going on in canon right now. Of course, since this will apparently be her first time off island, there's going to be a little more naivety than I would like, but I can deal with that.

I dunno, I guess only time will tell.
