DC Super Hero Girls' Shea Fontana Already Tapped To Replace Greg Rucka On Wonder Woman For Summer
Yesterday, both writer Greg Rucka and artist Liam Sharp announced their departure from DC's Wonder Woman ongoing comic, and now, a day later, DC has announced the replacement. DC Super Hero Girls writer Shea Fontana will take over the book for five issues beginning in issue #26, which hits stores in July.
"Having worked on DC Super Hero Girls for the last few years, I have a great sense of Wondy, a teenage Wonder Woman in a high school setting, and it's an honor and an adrenaline rush to be writing her now 'all grown up,'" said Fontana in an BY GAWD EXCLUSIVE [swoon] report from THR. "Many of her core characteristics continue to remain routed in peace, justice and equality, but as an adult she's seen a lot more war and tragedy, and is dealing with her world from a wiser, more experienced point of view."
The first two issues of the bi-weekly title will feature art by Mirka Andolfo, and both will hit stores in July. There should be more details to come on the future of the creative team post-Summer soon, especially with the Wonder Woman movie hitting theaters in June.
