Wonder Woman Wardrobe War Winners!: Note: The following entries are the winners and finalists from the Wonder Woman Wardrobe War contest announced earlier this month, with prizes provided by Zeus Comics in Dallas, Texas. We received an astounding 79 entries. To determine the winners, our reviewers rated and reviewed each entry, the Zeus Comics team provided their ratings and reviews, and current Wonder Woman writer Gail Simone contributed her thoughts on each entry as well. We also decided to hand out some extra superlatives. The remaining entries will be available at the Zeus Comics website later this week. - Dean Introduction by Gail Simone.
Wow! I honestly had no idea the responses were going to be this amazing. I’m astounded not only by the designs and imagination, but quite a few of these are produced so beautifully that I’d love to see more work by these individual artists. Heck, some I would love to have on my wall, in fact! Great, great work. I had to ask the Zeus guys, “Hey, are these people all professionals already?” Just great stuff. Made my week. As for the designs, I was looking at them strictly hypothetically, because (get ready to throw rocks) I actually really love Diana’s costume. I think of these as gorgeous Elseworlds designs, really. Some of the these did seem to get a little too complex and intricate for Diana ever to really wear-remember the artist has to draw the thing hundreds and even thousands of times! I like the ones that really went out on an artistic limb, and I also have a fondness for some of the more practical designs. I don’t think it’s really fair for me to vote, so I’m adding non-voting comments. I want to say, I also really liked a lot of the non-finalists. Beautiful work, everyone, and thanks to Zeus and Project: Rooftop for doing this, and the artists for contributing! (Via Project Rooftop.)
