    Default Dog Days of Summer - Wonder Woman and Ferdinand

    A one-shot I almost overlooked in the March solicits:

    Dog Days of Summer

    'Who let the dogs out?' DC does this summer as we unleash the beast within and join Krypto and Superman, Bat-Cow and Batman, Wonder Woman and Ferdinand and many more for eight sun-kissed stories in this can't-miss animal-sized spectacular!

    Even better: art by Stjepan Sejic.

    today's workload: finish a cover for @lionforge

    and design 3 brand new crazy cool wonder woman villains

    challenge... accepted!
    i am doing a 10 page wonder woman short for dog days of summer but other than that i'm overloaded until next year
    Not sure who is writing, but the solicit lists G Willow Wilson in the writer list, and I'm not sure a one-shot author would go for designing three "brand new crazy cool wonder woman villains".

    Sejic's art is a quantum leap from what we've been getting on the regular title. If Wilson is writing it, it will be neat to see how her writing meshes with good art for a change.

    Yet more new villains instead of revamping old ones would be annoying, but Wilson gets some leeway after using Giganta and Cale. Plus, Sejic will no doubt have some great designs for them.

    As much as I love Ferdinand I'd rather this featured Jumpa instead, Ferdinand isn't a pet and I don't think of him as an "animal".

    It's deeply silly, but if one can't have silliness now and again in superhero comics, why bother? In any case, here are some comments from Stjepan Sejic and G Willow Wilson regarding the story.

    Stjepan: tomorrow i'm finishing my last ever comic where i'm only an artist. from there on out i'm sticking to my own writing /art combo. but you know what, a fun short tale of wonder woman and her minotaur friend is a high point to bow out in my book!

    ferdinand is friggin adorable XD
    G Willow Wilson: (I love it so much)

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Plus - 3 new villains? Why does Wonder Woman need 3 new villains when 75%(or more) of her existing rogues have been sitting in limbo for a decade or more? Is there some ban on using the Wonder-rogues beyond Cheetah, Giganta, Silver Swan, Dr. Pyscho, Dr. Poison, Dr. Cyber, and Veronica Cale?
