What's wrong with this picture?


Recommended Posts

This came up on my bluesky feed today and hit me like a brick.

Apparently it's from the 750th Hardcover edition

I am out of the loop with comics these days and this post isn't a critique of WW, or the art...

 

but it still caused a pang and I wanted to share

 

 

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

I'm gonna critique the art.  The hair bugs me.  It's over rendered and not obeying the lighting that's on the rest of Diana.

Yeah, the more I look at it, the more it seems like it was part of another picture and copy-pasted onto that one. It just looks so different to the rest of the art.

I wanted to comment on the image as a whole not on actual technical aspects of the art. It could be little more than a stick Wonder Woman. What struck me is how it referenced our own world.

 

I appreciate that our City has millennia of lore to build upon. Atlas himself is barely novel, but as an image it resonated with me because of our great city and despite the fact that the sky did fall in on it once, some nameless heroes brought it back.

 

It just got me nostalgic for a thing that exists.

Liefeld's working for DC again?

 

OH SHIT, YOU CAN'T SEE HER FEET!  IT'S TRUE!

Oh, that's more than fair.  It's just that the thread name forced me to look at "what's wrong" and now I can't not look at that.

Not so fast.....we need to see the 800 belt pouches around the arms, legs, feet, and etc to be sure.

She has plenty of belt pouches that are concealed by her hair in this pose.  There might also be some boot pouches, and maybe a choker of neck pouches.

Maybe I'm ignorant of WW but I'm not sure if she's strong enough to even carry a planet. I know the Hulk or Superman could, but WW? Hmm I'm not sure.

Again, it's art and we can interpret it depending on our own perspective but I still wonder if this isn't at least in part a nod to Paragon, and perhaps even Homecoming, upholding our world for everyone to see...

 

If that is the case then good on DC got such an acknowledgement!

Unlikely. Atlas is a Titan of Greek mythology. There are far older (and more famous) statues of Atlas than the one in Paragon.

There's also a DC MMO swimming in pretty well exactly the same waters that we live in.

Diana and Paragon both hang heavily on Greek mythos. It might simply be coincidence. It might even be callous oblivion. Or it might not.
