      Hey J, instead of sending the image to DC, it needs to go directly to Jim Lee.

      Someone needs to do a similar treatment with the crappy new Superman costume design, too.

        Man ... is it Horrible. .... I don't like Flash Much either ... Hal, & Aquaman look fine ... But Cyborg looks like he gained 200 Pounds too.

          Damn, that's exactly how Wonder Woman should look, in my opinion. Cool!

            Given the fact that Al Rio seemed to be Jim Lee's go to guy in the nineties whenever they had a deadline crunch or a more popular artist bombed out, I wouldn't doubt hat he's on Lee's radar.

            There are a pile of Image artists currently on board the relaunch already. Brett Booth, Tony Daniel, Liefeld etc.

              I'm a Huge Bret Booth Fan ..., BackLash was the Best Image book imo. His Current Eclipso Run in JLA With Robinson is great to me .... However I can not buy that horrible Teen Titans book coming out ..., and I have Every Issue of the last Run too.

                Brett booth is definitely one of Jim Lee's Wildstorm transplants... I'm not even sure he's ever worked anywhere else. I seem to recall he did Spiderman, but that might have been via a Wildstorm crossover or maybe he worked on heroes reborn Cap after Liefeld bombed out?

                I think he was one of the better McFarlane clones with enough Jim Lee mixed in for good measure.

                  Booth Did some different work ..., outside of Jim Lee for a While ...
                  a Few different 4issue runs of Thundercats come to mind ... but maybe that was Wildstorm too ? ...

                  Booth imo was the Best Pick-up with the Image Universe Next to Campbell the Vanishing Stephen Platt. The 3 Of them had Artistic Styles that Transformed themselves into thier own Respective Selves, and are very Reconizable to Me today. Micheal Turner did too for me ...., but his ''pin-up'' Style Work ..., just isn't as good imo.

                    Platt and I had a mutual friend back when he was attending the the Ontario College of Art. He dropped out during his third year when he got the Moon Knight gig and was set to take over Cable when he got the call from Liefeld to move to california. I wonder what would have happened if he had stayed at Marvel.

                    Looks like Booth was originally supposed to draw Peter Parker, but Marvel editorial made him change it to Ben Reilly.

                      WOWSERS! That is, perhaps, the single best rendering I've ever seen of Wonder Woman. If this were the artwork on the book, even if it only came out quarterly, I'd snap that up in a heartbeat...!
                      sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.
