Wonder Woman: Historia volume 3 pages 52-53 DPS by Nicola Scott

The judgement of the Amazons before the Olympic pantheon. The impossible choice and the culmination of the definitive history of the Amazons. No easy feat to make a compelling Wonder Woman-adjacent book without, well, Wonder Woman; big ups to Kelly Sue DeConnick for not only accomplishing that, but also winning an Eisner for it. A trio of incredible artists handles each of the three volumes: Phil Jimenez, Gene Ha, and Nicola Scott. With the majority of the work from this evergreen series being digital, it was cool to see finished traditional pages with Nicola's amazing ink washes. Her process involves laying out pencils in reverse on the back side of the page and then flipping over to finish the art cleanly. The second image shows that reverse. How that brain function works is a mystery to me...

The paper here is stiff with the amount of ink washing on it. Kelly Sue DeConnick signed it at Rose City Comicon 2023. Hopefully the remaining 2 planned arcs (of three new issues apiece) come to fruition.
