The one where I gush about Darwyn Cooke
July 21st 2007 -
Via Newsarama, I discover that the NYT has reviewed the DVD release of The New Frontier. I learn that Mr. Cooke fought to keep Lois Lane and Wonder Woman in the film, which relieves and pleases me; Darwyn Cooke’s Wonder Woman is the most original and progressive reworking of that story since Perez’s.
The one screenshot included did disappoint me slightly, since Wonder Woman seems to have lost the signature look Cooke gave her, but given the scene it portrays, I’m still thrilled that it was included.

It’s awesome that he fought for Lois and Diana.
It sucks Lysol douche bags that he (of all people) *had* to fight *anybody* over it.

As much as it pains me, I can see cutting Lois for lack of time; her story was a reporter story. But why on earth would you cut the Immortal Feminist Princess Guerrilla fighter story? There’s not really an over-supply of those, is there?
