The year 2020 belongs to Wonder Woman. A new movie is set to come out later this year and now DC Comics has announced that NY Times Best Selling writer and Eisner Award winner, Mariko Tamaki, has come aboard as a series writer. Artist Mike Janin, David Marquez and Joshua Middleton will work with Tamaki.
“Writing for comics is pretty much a dream job, full stop, It’s pretty fricking cool. Wonder Woman was the hero I grew up with, she was my little-kid-living-room-cosplay. I have always wanted a golden lasso and an invisible jet, and I feel like now, writing Wonder Woman, I’m one step closer.”
Mariko Tamaki is a New York Times Bestselling Canadian writer living in California. She is the co-creator, with Jillian Tamaki, of Skim and This One Summer, which received an Eisner and Ignatz awards as well as Caldecott and Printz honors, and more recently the teen romance Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, with Rosemary Valero-O’Connell and Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass with Steve Pugh. Her growing slate of comic work includes Adventure Time, She-Hulk, Lumberjanes, X-23, Archie, Spider-Man & Venom: Double Trouble, and Supergirl: Being Super.
Wonder Woman issue 759 debuts on June 10.
