New Superman and Wonder Woman comic causes controversy!

Tony Daniel 's statement , when asked about the new Superman/Wonder Woman comic book series during a fan convention in Canada, caused problems for DC Comics , which received a flood of disparaging messages on social media about the illustrator and the publication's strategy. The artist's comment, "for lack of a better example, something for the same target audience as Twilight," really angered fans. To justify himself, he said, "I was talking to editors Bobbie Chase and Bob Harras about writing a comic book that had a little more romance and was a little sexier—something along the lines of Twilight. You know, millions of people went to theaters to see that series because it had those themes. Drama, love triangles, forbidden love, things like that. A month later, they offered me Superman/Wonder Woman, and I accepted immediately." "We'll have a lot more romance and drama than actual action," he added. The comment not only angered the publisher's mostly male fans, but also some of its few female readers, who believe the theme is offensive, since what they want are "good stories and not the same number of comics showing Superman's and Wonder Woman's butts." Superman/Wonder Woman will be released in October in the US.
