Good news ! All Star Wonder Woman will be great and I hope it comes next year as he said.

Hughes said he’d like to have “All Star Wonder Woman” launch in 2009 but it’s going to take some self-discipline on his part. “As far as DC tells me, it’s still a go,” said Hughes. “They never ask for pages and they constantly give me covers and posters and all this other work to do so I think I am just going to knuckle down and stop working on covers and just be a Wonder Woman artist and get it done myself.”

One has to think that, when the book is closed on DC in the first decade of the 21st century, the All-Star line will go down as one of the bigger embarassments. Clearly here we get a sense of the stellar editorial direction of the project.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Hughes' ASWW, whenever it's out.

His style is virtually interchangeable with Terry Dodson. Hell he can just pick up where Dodson left off on the main Wonder Woman title. There's also a Greg Land-esque quality too it. Not act of swiping, but in the super babelicious faces/posing. But he doesn't recycle the same face over and over again like Dodson does either.

Put him on Uncanny right now and I'm sure no one would be able to tell the difference between his art and Dodson/Land!

AH! injured his drawing hand!... oh Lord noooooooooooo!

I didn't hear about this until today. Get this man some ice water quick! He must recover... people this is a nightmare. What's he doing walking around a comic con without body guards anyway... Dido this is your fault! :)

Now I love Hughes but cummon... google his art and you'll see his faces are the same on WW, Catwoman, Huntress, Emma Frost, Jean Grey, Supergirl... hell, Oracle has the same face.

I would. Hughes has a distinct style all his own and he's a stronger storyteller than Dodson or Land.

let me get this straight.
this article is about a book that was promoted 2 years ago?
and AH hasn't even started it?

if this isn't a perfect example of "crony journalism" then It's just lazyness.

[reflecto]

If, after all this waiting, all we get is a mediocre story set to a montage of Wonder Woman's breasts in various states of distress and undress, I'll be very unhappy.
Sadly, that's exactly what I expect.

[Lupek]

It is dissapointing to learn that this hasn't really been started yet.

It sounded good when they first announced it and it sounds good now. I could go for a good Wonder Woman book.

the faces on these picks look pretty different to me.

I've got to disagree. Hughes' faces all change, because he uses real models. Lois Lane is Courtney Cox, if memory serves, and the illustrations posted below more than de-bunk the claim.

I personally don't think this book will ever get done. I'm betting somewhere down the line about 2 years from now there'll be an announcement that they're going to use Adam's story but it will be drawn by someone else if it's done at all. I'm a big fan of Adam's work but I gave up long ago thinking I'll see much more than covers and posters from him. I was shocked they got those few "52" Wonder Woman pages out of him.

[Pixie_Solanas]

I hope it'll get done. It already sounds 100x better than the current WW issues we do get.

I fail to see how a project from an artist whose chief contribution to Wonder Woman has been to amass a collection of images of her that potray her as little more than a collection of voluptuous body parts is (or would be) better than the fascinating, detailed stories being told by Gail Simone and Aaron Lopresti.

"fascinating" may be a tad overstating it.

Besides, should she be more than a collection of "voluptuous body parts"? Seems to me that there's been no clearcut character definition for WW in quite some time. Everyone's taking a stab and trying to make her more than the sum of her parts. I'm all for taking the character down to base level and reconstructing from the ground up. That's what the All-Star line is all about.
