In a few months time, certain DC books are hitting a landmark in the issue count, and one of them involves is a famous dark individual who stalks crime at night and protects the populace of Gotham City. Of course, I'm talking about the one and only Caped Crusader, Batman, and the flagship title that bears his name and continuing adventures reaches a milestone with the aoon-to-be released issue #700 in June 2010! To celebrate, DC has charged newly signed and exclusive artist David Finch to handle the cover duties, and for a taste of things to come, DC has revealed it, all colored and inked for the fans to drool over!
Nice cover, and in true Finch style too. It's obvious that the bats we're looking at is still Dick Grayson, but nevertheless, it's still Batman, and the end result is all that matters.
Impressive is just one of the many words I can give to salute Finch's work. Ever since his days at Marvel, his art has just been wonders to see, especially when it comes to the action and fighting bits his work so effortlessly brings to life time and again. He was the artist paired with Brian Michael Bendis when the writer destroyed the Avengers during "Avengers: Disassembled. Eventually the duo relaunched Earth's Mightiest Heroes with "The New Avengers", and afterwards Finch went on to draw other characters like Moon Knight and supply covers for events like "World War Hulk" and "Messiah Complex".
Now that he's with DC, lots of art possibilities can come up now that David Finch is on board. We got a taste of his work with the cover to Brightest Day #1, and now we have one for Batman #700... which is just awesome. I can't wait to see his work on later titles, and possibly a Justice League project if he gets the chance!
I was amazed by this cover too! It looks awesome!
