Fans of creator Tony Daniel lined up at Emerald City Comicon 2013 for signatures and sketches from his recent work on Batman, Battle for the Cowl and Detective Comics but soon the artist will take on another DC Comics icon.
Daniel will join writer Andy Diggle for the adventures of Superman in Action Comics #19. DC shared a sneak peek of Daniel’s rendering of Superman, his allies and greatest enemy: Lex Luthor.
Daniel used a great mix of fan favorite rogues and brand new villains on his Detective Comics run. Daniel revealed Toyman, Brainiac and Parasite are his favorite villains of Superman’s rogues gallery. There are no confirmed plans to use of any of these classic enemies yet. Lex Luthor is the foe of the first arc.
“It’s good to spend some time drawing,” Daniel said in The New 52 panel and working with Diggle was “a breath of fresh air” after working on his own as writer and artist of Batman and Detective Comics.
As for my sketch? After seeing Daniel’s recent two-part Justice League story with the Cheetah I asked Wonder Woman! Stunning!
