J. Michael Straczynski to take over Superman, Wonder Woman
Superman and Wonder Woman - shown here in DC's All-New Collector's Edition - will be written by "Babylon 5" creator J. Michael Straczynski beginning this summmer.
According to DC’s Source blog, writer J. Michael Straczynski will take over writing “Superman” and “Wonder Woman” with issues #701 and #601, both shipping in July.
Straczynski, who created “Babylon 5,” wrote a long, best-selling run of “Amazing Spider-Man” for Marvel Comics, and also revamped “Thor,” bringing the Asgardian hero to Oklahoma. He recently moved to DC, where he has written several issues of “The Brave and Bold.”
Straczynski tells the Source that Superman has always been his dream character to write.
“Now the dream has come fully true with the opportunity to write for the mainstream title, in a story that returns Superman to his roots in a way that will have the whole country talking about him in ways that we haven’t seen in a long time,” Stracyzinski said. “Similarly, the chance to write Wonder Woman — the nearest analogue to Superman in the DCU — is massively exciting. She’s a vital, powerful character, and we hope to bring a more contemporary sensibility to her character will retaining everything that makes her unique.”
