Speaking of crazy awesome news of the day, how about this one: David Finch has signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics! Do a double take of that. WHAATTT??? I was shocked myself. David Finch is primarily known … well, for MARVEL work! The opening arc of New Avengers, Ultimatum and other Ultimate books, the EXCELLENT Moon Knight book by Huston that made Moon Knight 100% relevant again, as well as various covers, including the epic X-Men Legacy book that featured the basic history of the X-Men over so many panels. Him being exclusive to DC now is pretty out of nowhere! But still awesome, because Finch is a very talented artist. I’m excited to see what he does.

You didn’t think we’d come into 2010 quietly, did you?

Of course not. Take a few deep breaths. We know the headline’s a doozy. But it’s also true: Mega-popular artist David Finch, who’s made a name for himself working on every title under the sun for Marvel will be calling the DCU his home base for the foreseeable future – and we couldn’t be happier.

Where can you expect to see Finch’s hyperkinetic pencils and expressive linework? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, shall we? Take a moment to bask in the glow of the news. Done? OK. We managed to get a few minutes of David’s time to discuss his decision to come to DC. So take it away, Dave:

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the DC family! It feels too good to be true that I’m going to have the chance to draw some of the most dynamic, iconic, and fun characters in the business. I’ve been a DC comics fan for a very long time, so it’s a very big honor to finally have a part in their creation.”

Now, if you listen really carefully at night, you may still hear from whispers on the wind a faint voice saying, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not as bad as everyone says it issss."
