Owner's Description
I've got a love/hate relationship with this cover. Okay, not love/hate maybe, more like love/sort of dislike. I totally dig the almost cartoony vibe the art is giving off. And Batman looks bad ass. I love his pose, and how it (and his color scheme) play off of Wonder Woman's. But c'mon. Batman's foot is, what, splashing in mud? Kicking up dust? I know drawing feet can be difficult, but that plume of dirt doesn't work when Diana's standing on a rock and there looks like there are other rocks right in front of Batman (yes, I know that dirt/dust can exist right next to each other, but you know what I'm saying here.)
I also love Wonder Woman's pose here. And those boots. Love 'em. Sure, they've got more of a go-go boot vibe than a superhero feel, but I like 'em. And Wonder Woman is clearly ready for action...I think. There's something about her eyes here. Is she startled? Is she confused at what's she's seeing? Is that a WTF look? I can't quite tell. And that's the crux of my problem with this cover. Hughes is typically fantastic at letting the audience enter the mindset of the characters on his covers. And the inked cover, as shown in the Reverse image, doesn't help out either. So with this one, I'm not quite sure what to think.
Note: Signed by Hughes, in gold market, on 11/13/15.
Personal Note I: Purchased pre-graded on the CGC message boards (letsgrumble).
Personal Note II: My first signed Hughes cover. I didn't get it done in person, so it's not as special as it could be, but still damn cool!
