>Frank Cho, as well as many other A-list comic book artists, was commissioned by DC Comics to create 24 variant covers for the first year of their twice-monthly titles. In Frank’s case, that was for Wonder Woman.

>Infamous in the online for his “outrage” sketch covers, both parodying sexism and criticism of sexism, this was a controversial choice, with many expressing their disappointment. But as the first covers emerged, that disappointment went away.

>But possibly not with Wonder Woman writer, Greg Rucka. And, as a result, Frank Cho is walking off the title after its sixth issue – and variant cover.

>All the problem lies with Greg Rucka.

>EVERYONE loves my Wonder Woman covers and wants me to stay. Greg Rucka is the ONLY one who has any problem with covers. Greg Rucka has been trying to alter and censor my artwork since day one.

>Greg Rucka thought my Wonder Woman #3 cover was vulgar and showed too much skin, and has been spearheading censorship, which is baffling since my Wonder Woman image is on model and shows the same amount of skin as the interior art, and it’s a VARIANT COVER and he should have no editorial control over it. (But he does. WTF?!!!)

These covers are the least "sexy" thing Frank has done in a long time. Is Ruka that fucking sensitive?

>>84490128
Cho's Wondy covers aren't bad at all. Could this be a personal thing? Maybe Rucka just doesn't like Cho as a person or something?
>>
>>84490128
Greg Rucka is known for being a bit kooky about this stuff so I am not sure what they were expecting

Most people are basically children, and the higher you go, the more immature and petty things get.

Cho's covers for Wondy are gorgeous. It's a shame Rucka is being a brat about them.
>>
>That 3rd cover is quite an odd pose. Why is here backside sticking out like that?

Remember kids, leaning forward is sexist, but only when female characters do it.
>>
Sheeple here: was Greg Rucka always known as SJW? I kind of dug his Punisher run until he made Punisher a Gary Stu in War Zone, but his handling of Rachel Cole was absolutely superb throughout.

Usually I avoid these things like youtube drama, but I can't but be disappointed by Rucka. And Cho's covers are nice too and expose as much skin as, well, her fucking current costume allows it to expose.

Didn't a major film recently fail in China because of a pety grudge.

>>84490294
I may not be remembering this correctly, but Rucka left DC in a giant huff when Morrison got to do the Wonder Woman thing he wanted, didn't he?
>>
>>84490329
In his personal life. He just doesn't write it INTO his comics like Byrne does. Because he may be obsessed with his waifu, but he tries to keep it to himself.
>>
If a writer doesn't want someone doing covers for their book, that is their imperative.

End of discussion.
>>
>>84490136
They don't sell and can't afford to have Cho's niche appeal on the cover.

It's no longer important that you enjoy his work. It's 2016, anybody who googles him is going to find his whole internet tantrum, the pathetic range of bodies he can actually draw, the wife that left him because he's a fucking manchild. These things, whether you think they should or not, factor into whether people continue to patronize his work, and that factors into whether the publishers paying him continue to hire him.

Long and the short of it: he's a dinosaur. If comics are going to survive, they need new audiences. There's never going to be a better time to get sales up - not just "up for the comics market 1997-2016" but UP, because there's never going to be a peak of exposure like this again. This is the last ditch chance at relevance for comic books - the characters will go on, but the people who work on these titles won't necessarily get hired again. So it's them or the Frank Chos of this world.

Really it's surprising they hired him in the first place, the way he's been acting. Free speech and all that, but nobody ever said a private business had to act as his mouthpiece or even give him work.

If he was selling better? Sure. But he doesn't really sell that well, he's just got a vocal fanbase.

If they commissioned him, they are most likely already aware of how Frank Cho draws.

Frank Cho claims he was taking his job on Wondy very seriously, looking at covers he made I am inclined to believe him.

Greg Rucka is not the one commissioning Cho. And there's nothing cheesecakey about the covers aside from there being a woman on them.

Aha, no. That was Chuck Austen.

Rucka only used this as an excuse to take Cho off the covers. Even yesterday's issue has more lewd interior art than this.

Rucka obviously wanted to "boycott" Cho over the OTHER controversies. He didn't want Cho doing covers from day one because of those controversies.
>>
Bad form Rucka

Cho's covers are pretty sweet looking and aren't at all sexualized. He clearly wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers and was just trying to draw a badass Wonder Woman

Dumb as fuck move, and will surely effect sales numbers without those variants.

That's what's amazing about all this. People are acting like Rucka got him fired but really Frank didn't want to put up with all the bullshit and did what any normal fucking person would do, and just left.

Now Rucka looks like a genuine asshole because his tantrums got a high profile artist to bail. DC isn't going to like this, especially if the Wondie issues start to go down in sales after this whether it be a coincidence or not.

I have no interest in Wonder Woman, but those are amazing. No high heels, gear is both functional, attractive, modern and Classical. It's like Cho knows how to draw woman and researched the subject.

>>84490750

who went to the comic gossip rag and bitched about leaving because of the creative team again? the actual creatives or some dude doing variants? Cho's throwing the tantrum

>>84490739
Like Cho said, Rucka shouldn't have any power over the variant covers. He shouldn't even see the sketches or unfinished work.

Remember when Cameron Stewart asked to change the variant cover of Batgirl? He hadn't seen the cover until DC released it. And DC complied to avoid controversy (also apparently Albuquerque also asked), but he had no actual control or imput over it.

>>84490821

Cho is a master on drawing women. He has a little problem with samefaces but otherwise he's amazing

>>84490750
But Rucka has saved Wonder Woman from the Problematic Elements! Because the 70+ year old Amazon who can bench-press a bus needs a middle aged Nice Guy to save her.

>>84490675
Maybe they were trying to present to her that they're all one of the Good Ones. Like a nu-male mating ritual.
>>

they don't have to, they don't even interact or hardly at all

Rucka's WW run is off to a mundane start anyway, and Morrison's book will prove way better

I like Frank Cho, but that outrage series went on for far too long. It didn't really feel like he was doing satire, or making some kind of criticism. He straight up told people that they were being stupid and took commissions from straight up non apologetic sexist.

That's just not going to go over well when you're dealing with companies who may not want to have to be connected to your political viewpoints which are vague at best.

Cho also seems to belittle an entire segment of society telling them that their overreacting and them drawing female chars in weird hot poses, but also adding word bubbles to these drawings to antagonize them more.

In business there is such a thing called defending your work, but to defend your work and to talk down at those who disagree, then to toss more fuel on that fire on a monthly basis.

Hell... that's just putting your own head in the guillotine.

>Cucka being a cuck
This had to be expected.
>I female-identify, and I always have since I was very young. I am not transgendered; I’m not looking for gender reassignment. I clearly have more testosterone flowing through me than most men need, and you can tell just by looking at me. I’m comfortable with my maleness, but for whatever reason the way I’m wired, I have always female-identified.
> I tend to see – socially, I don’t tend to be myself in a male role. I don’t know any other way to put it. Now that being a separate issue, because that’s not an issue of writing, that is an issue of identity… And I think people, we identify however we identify. I’m a Caucasian American Jew. These are all things that make up who I am. That goes to the second half of the question, which is — I believe, for me, all writing comes from character. Character is made up of a variety of different things. One of those elements is gender. We live in a gendered society, and all you have to do is ask any woman here what her experience walking down a empty street at 3 in the morning is like, and then ask any guy. And you’re gonna get different responses. There’s a different implicit threat. That’s a societal problem.
>As a storyteller the goal is to entertain and tell a story, but I believe in art. And I believe that when you are creating stories you are an artist and there are responsibilities with that. And you can try to ignore them all you like, but the fact of the matter is if you are putting out work into the world, you are providing a view of the world. And offering an interpretation of the world no matter how fictitious it is. And for a work to not respect the diversity of the world is problematic. Because we live in a very diverse world. And therefore one of the writers jobs is to grants respect to those experiences. If you do not know something you should find out enough to write it.
>>
It's unfortunate Rucka feels this way.
Compared to Cho's typical cheesecake, as well as a random sampling of any other worth a shit artists drawings of Wonder Women, Cho's variants are some of the most tasteful, empowering, while still being attractive imagery I've seen of Diana in recent memory. Unless there is more here, it really does seem to be what other anons are saying, which is that Rucka just has an axe to grind with Cho.

I don't wanna be THAT guy that brings up SJWs all the time.. BUT the Ruckmaster is clearly a huge SJW. I don't even mean that in the bad sense, that's just where his politics are.

Cho fucking loves to make fun of SJWs to a fault. There was literally no way they were going to get along. I guarantee day one Rucka and Cho were having petty back and forths about all sorts of stupid shit. It's highly likely Rucks nitpicked him to death, but I'm sure Cho was tossing heat right back. We'll probably get a story in a few days from Ruckers about how Cho was spending his time at the office oppressing women and manspreading.

A pantyshot is typically a shot of panties in a titillating and sometimes voyeuristic manner. Usually showing the crotch or full ass. This was just Cho drawing what makes sense anatomically.

I really doubt any of those things are remotely as significant as you think they are. The comics industry is literally filled with people who are complete and absolute tools on the internet.

No. I'm saying comic books are an industry and someone like Frank Cho who makes fun of feminist and social justice folks on occasion isn't going to gel well with people who're of the opposite affiliation.

That's just life. If you make a stand on something, you'll inevitably run into people who'll not take to kindly to that. When he decided to contribute to the whole social climate discussion with ridicule there are people who remembered that and he'll just have to weather the storm because that's where he decided to draw the line.

Cho's art does nothing for me because I dont like muscle women and the thing I value most in comics art is no same-face and no same-body.
But these covers are good, they arent offensive in any way, and Rucka is being a cunt both with regards to the Azzarello run and with regards to the Cho covers.

He is too protective of Wonder Woman, as if he owned her.

But that's one of the points Cho was bringing up:

They don't HAVE TO GET ALONG! He's making variant covers -- which, as we've seen for the first 3 issues, have *nothing* to do with the interior storytelling. Rucka's job -- as the writer -- would be to say, "No, that's kind of a spoiler." That's it. Rucka, trying to be the guardian of Diana's purity (on a series where both interior pencillers have drawn her more attractively than Cho), is just being a fucktard with an agenda.
>>
>>84492049
>And hes too fucking whiney for my taste.

For drawing comissions, which the money go to charity?

Or you deny his claim that people are too picky on what a person can or can't draw? Because...how many people have been harassed and even tried suicide because they were attacked for drawing "problematic fanart"?
