I just finished reading Alex Robinson’s mega opus Box Office Poison the other day. I had read the issues when it was first coming out and never got a chance to finish it. So I picked up the gigantic one volume version from Top Shelf. And while the ending wasn’t exactly what I wanted (not anything bad, just different), it was a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed it and right to the last page had no clue what was going to happen to these characters that had quickly become my best friends. The worst part of it was that it’s over. So I went to Alex’s blog hoping to read that he’s doing a whole new BOP series, but instead came across this great commission piece he did for a fan. I love when “independent” creators draw mainstream characters. It’s just great to see such a different style attached to characters who seem to always fit one basic style.

Not to fond of the Wonder Woman you’ve posted here. The first thing you notice is the face and the closet arm to you in the picture, and I think it ruins the picture like that.
Not sure I’m following you, Wengistein. Are you saying the placement of the arm with the lasso is throwing off the balance and it looks too foreshortened or something? And the face is too prominent? I know the art style is way different than your standard mainstream Wonder Woman, but that’s why I like this piece and this kind fo style. It’s just different. But yeah, maybe if the arm was raised with a lasso or the lasso at her hip, it’d be a little more balanced. I just like how she looks huge (not fat, just muscled and big) rather than a supermodel.
Yeah, I’m saying that. The picture looks really off balance with that arm. But it’s nice to see a different side of things.
