SubscribeNote: Any character can be a great character, if the right creators involved. When it was announced that writer Joe Keatinge and artist Ross Campbell were reviving Rob Liefeld’s 90s heroine Glory for a new series, fans far-and-wide (me, included) gave it a skeptical look. But boy was I wrong. Keatinge really came into his own with this series, but I think Campbell’s contributions can’t be underplayed — especially in the character designs, chiefly Glory. So for our next Fan-Art Friday we want to celebrate Glory, the one-time Wonder Woman clone who grew — proverbially and physically — into a wholly unique and terrifying character. Artists of all stripes are encouraged to draw their rendition of Glory; the deadline for submissions is Friday, January 4th at 5pm Eastern time. Email them to us at projectrooftop@gmail.com with your full name and a link to your website/portfolio. To get your motor running, look at this excellent piece of Glory fan-art by Shrine Dust. – Chris A.

/ December 17, 2012Anything created by Rob Liefeld does not deserve to be resurrected. Ever.

/ December 17, 2012I’m curious though why this particular character was chosen.

/ December 18, 2012Shiner: As stated in the post, we (the P:R staff) like the character designs, especially the redesign of Glory. We’ve featured Glory and Ross Campbell’s work in the past on the site.

Shiner
/ December 18, 2012Well, I meant why Keatinge and Campbell chose her. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

/ December 18, 2012I’d imagine if you look for interviews done around the series announcement in November 2011 you’ll find that out.

/ December 18, 2012Shiner: we didn’t “choose” Glory out of a line-up or anything like that, per se. Joe had the opportunity to pitch for it, and i was then offered the job. the rest is history!
Shiner
/ December 18, 2012But that’s like work! *stamps foot* True, I’ll do that.

/ December 19, 2012I figure, the more we get big name female heroes to work with, the better. I mean, the past few years have been all about resurrecting old characters and franchises and helping them reach their potential. Bringing back a Liefeld character and making her more than a shallow T&A Wonder Woman clone is awesome. Plus, We’ve entered an era where the artists and writers were growing and coming up during the 90′s. They have a sense of nostalgia for things from that era. As long as we don’t default to big guns, big muscles and big boobs we should be good

/ December 24, 2012I’ve only read the first Glory trade so far, but I read it three times in a two day period when I got it. I have never enjoyed the character, or Wonder Woman for that matter, but Glory may have been the best book I’ve read in 2012. So excited for this
