If it were up to me, Emma would wear cigarette pants and a tuxedo jacket and a real actual corset (to keep that overtly sexy element without needing a weird lace-up belly shirt).

People call it “original art,” but for me it’s just part of the process for the final art. The same way sketches and the scripts are preliminary works building up to something, I feel like the final form is the comic itself with the colors, balloons, ads between pages and that snot on the back cover edge.
The printed edition is the people’s art. With comics, a lot of people can get art for a cheap price instead of just one person getting the “original art” for a higher price. Not to talk about the added value and all that. Look, I spent five years getting a college degree in Fine Art, and one of the things I learned there is that I do not want to be a part of the art market.



Good story, an embracing of the Greek mythology and history, and a Diana that is clearly her own agent. Amazons who are worthy of the name, not in the sense that they’ve amputated a breast, but in the sense that they are not-to-be-fucked-with. Little-to-no romance. A costume that makes more sense. An epic sword fight. A thematic core that addresses the questions of xenophobia v. inclusion, and nature v. nurture, and that takes the core feminism of the concept and instead of apologizing for it or avoiding it, embraces it as a given, so it is simply there, rather than being what it’s about.
Mostly, one that embraces the character rather than apologizes for her.
