>Ben Caldwell

Holy shit, I have that guys "How to Draw" books. Haven't heard that name in a long time

We can't have writers and artists on shit they like, what if it turns out good?

His "doodles" that he posts on IG are great.
He really wanted to do WW "Manga" type book. Not really sure why D.C. Wouldn't let him do the main book.

Good point

It always seems like Wonder Woman comics get more realistic looking art, they would probably sell a lot more if it was a bit more pop or animated looking

Why do retards keep trying to read corporate-owned comics when there's creator-owned comics out there?

Fuck no. Bright silly tumblr art has been a cancer ruining female lead titles for years.
You got your simple cartoony style with Cliff in the new 52, now it's our turn.

Because the big 2 have the characters we actually fucking care about.

Nah, the superhero "house style" is unappealing and we need to make the first steps in killing it off already.

For years she’s had house style and her comics sell like crap, maybe it’s time we change it up

My Brother! I owe whatever miniscule drawing skill I have to him thanks to one of his books.

> everyone has a dream project, it doesn’t mean anything. That’s why you post that shit on your IG

>Why won't DC just hire Ben Caldwell to do Wonder Woman since it's his dream project
because the body types that Ben seems to gravitate toward in his art seems more Wonder Girl than it does Wonder Woman.

Because you didn't buy Wednesday Comics 10 years ago

Ben isn't some creepy loser doing Sonic sex art. He's a legitimate comics creator.

he's doing the Carrie Kelley graphic novel for Miller right now

nice. he draws cute girls.

Wasn't that announced like 3 or 4 years ago? We haven't got nothing since the first announcement.

it takes time to make a full graphic novel

Storytime!
Wednesday comics was the shit.

Is he working on any book at the moment? I fucking love his more cartoony style.

Because that would make too much sense.

>why doesn't DC let Ben Caldwell do his dream wonder woman project?
Because girls would actually like wonder woman then.

Because it's not Batman

I remember his wednesday story getting bad reviews
i thought it was pretty cool

I think this is the coolest wonder woman yet and it's all from Caldwell's art style.

So the answer to the question of why doesn't DC just let Ben Caldwell do his dream wonder woman project is because DC doesn't even know what to do with her.

>gets completely changed every few months
>still pretends those are even characters
they are popular brands. Take away the WW name and you wouldn't even know who the fuck is that new "character"

I think the complaint was that it was too "squished" in and hard to read.
(wouldn't be an issue in a monthly comic)
if DC didn't like the writing they could get get a Co-writer to help ben out
though i had no issue with how he wrote the stuff

Have both of his How to Draw books and one of his sketchbooks, even got him to sign one of them for me at a con.


And i've been literally begging DC to give Ben a Wondy book since Wednesday Comics. That shit ought to have been a fucking cartoon by now!

I'm always in awe at how fucking saturated these pages are.
I know that this was supposed to be read in a broadsheet newspaper but still

reviewers are almost always idiots

this is sad fyi, capeshit is trash. good art tho.

>that Ares as an otherwordly entity
Oh I got chills.

how do we get DC to give ben a run on WW ??

>Why won't DC just hire Ben Caldwell to do Wonder Woman since it's his dream project
Because he's good at character design, not drawing actual comics

they aren't in the Make-A-Wish business

Who is this?

Are his sketchbooks worth the price
