DC Women Kicking Ass

Thoughts, pictures, reviews and other stuff about the women in comics who kick ass.

... she's pretty amazingly ignorant of comics outside of the Batverse and some recent Wonder Woman, and seems pretty clueless about the way the industry works. That and she doesn't write that well at all." anonymous poster, Dreamwidth

Justice League Dark artist Mikel Janin on the cover

Mikel stopped by to explain what happened with cover:

As I’ve already explained (a week ago in my blog), it was not an editorial choice to make her show her cleavage, but to match the interiors. The solicit cover was made BEFORE the series, and this corset appeared solely in issue #1. Then, Zee’s look has been slightly different in each issue, with black corsets, white corsets, black jackets and so. I’m sorry if someone is offended but there’s not any intention other than match the interior pages. 
Best regards!

And indeed Zatanna is wearing that outfit, among others, in book:

    OK. Let me put a couple things aside first: 1. I never really got on board with a LOT of the New 52 redesigns. I could...
  2. shes-just-like-the-weather said: I loved Zatanna’s old costume. It was sexy, yes, but it was classy as well. Now she looks… well, she kind of looks like a stripper from a biker club. Why fix something that wasn’t broken!?

    I’m fine with the cover being made...match the interiors…I’m not fine

    Still miss the stage magician look.

  13. nightowlqueen said: Okay, I understand why they did it. But that top is just plain ugly.
  14. gorgeous-monsters said: I can see their intention. It still disappoints me, though.
