The Diamond Baltimore Retailer Summit is in full swing, and there is plenty of news coming out of it. Just not much from DC.
The retailers got their first look at the Wonder Woman Earth One graphic novel, but we’ve got you covered. Here is the cover to the OGN by Grant Morrison, Yanick Paquette and Nathan Fairbairn. Wonder Woman has a bit of history with being bound, and Yanick Paquette certainly remembers this. Here’s the official synopsis as well.
From the masterful minds of Grant Morrison (FINAL CRISIS, THE MULTIVERSITY) and Yanick Paquette (SWAMP THING, BATMAN, INC.) comes the most provocative origin of Wonder Woman you’ve ever seen — a wholly unique retelling that still honors her origins.For millennia, the Amazons of Paradise Island have created a thriving society away from the blight of man. One resident, however, is not satisfied with this secluded life — Diana, Princess of the Amazons, knows there is more in this world and wants to explore, only to be frustrated by her protective mother, Hippolyta. Diana finds her escape when Air Force pilot Steve Trevor, the first man she has ever seen, crashes onto their shores. With his life hanging in the balance, Diana ventures into the long forbidden world of men. The Amazons chase after her and bring her back to Paradise Island in chains to face trial for breaking their oldest law…staying separated from the world that wronged them.
Thought provoking yet reverent, thoroughly modern but still timeless, the power and courage of Paradise Island’s greatest champion — Wonder Woman — is introduced in this new addition to DC’s New York Times best selling Earth One original graphic novel series.
Also from the summit, just as Marvel has been doing, and IDW plans on doing, DC Comics announced their own adult coloring book variant covers. I don’t really see how these are any different than black & white sketch covers, but what do I know?
Retailers got their first look at the Jim Lee 1:500 sketch variant for Dark Knight III, as well as this Dave Gibbons variant that is very nice.
We will continue to cover the summit and bring you more news as it comes in.
