	Greg Rucka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rucka was considered especially noteworthy for his attention to detail and the realness with which it is related; an ability assisted by the author's experiences with fight training and as an EMT.
		The majority of Rucka's work today is for DC Comics, where he is the current writer of Wonder Woman, The OMAC Project, Adventures of Superman and Gotham Central, which he co-created with fellow scribe Ed Brubaker.
		Rucka's work, particularly in comics, has attracted critical and fan acclaim, and also won several awards, including Eisner Awards for the "Half a Life" storyline in Gotham Central (which also won a Harvey Award), Whiteout: Melt and Queen and Country.

	Bookreporter.com - A GENTLEMAN'S GAME by Greg Rucka
		Greg Rucka has been making a name for himself in the suspense genre for several years with his series of novels involving the enigmatic Atticus Kodiak.
		While Rucka is quick to give credit to others when it comes to his insight, he is ultimately the channel through which this vision is communicated, and in such a riveting manner.
		Rucka gets bogged down in introducing a lot of characters and bureaucratic details, but just when I was getting bored, he delved deeper into the character of Tara Chace.

	Metro Pulse/Pulp/Greg Rucka
		One such writer is Greg Rucka, the Portland, Ore.-based scribe with a reputation for telling powerful, complex tales with human emotion and political subtext as entangling as his plots.
		Rucka and artists J.G. Jones (pencils) and Wade Von Grawbadger (inks) perfectly translate the statuesque and noble Greek goddess made flesh with their take on Wonder Woman, a comic and cultural icon who usually proves difficult for contemporary writers and artists to translate.
		Rucka's first take on Wonder Woman here shows he's up to the task of keeping all the chainsaws in the air, and he's rumored to soon be the regular writer on the character's monthly comic book.

		Rucka's prose is clean and visual, his characterizations and dialogue are economical and his storytelling scoots along at a fast clip.
		Greg Rucka's prose is fluid and fine-edged, reminiscent of Lawrence Block's work in his Matthew Scudder series of novels minus the New York City grit that Block does so well.
		Rucka unself-consciously tackles the sticky politics of the situation, offering welcome shades of gray in what is often a fl and white topic, while delivering a taut thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat through the end.

		Greg Rucka's primary strengths are his characterization and pacing and in SMOKER it all falls perfectly into place.
		SMOKER is the novel where Greg Rucka's obvious talents really begin running on all cylinders, combining his strengths - an intelligent, muscular prose voice, a knack for dialogue and character development, and a laudable devotion to realism - with a tight, focused plot and an adversary every bit as fascinating as the lead characters.
		Rucka is similarly honest about his characters' emotional lives; they have flaws and inner lives that both affect and are affected by the goings-on of the plot.

	NEWSARAMA - RUCKA ON SUPERMAN AND HAT TRICKS
		As was confirmed by DC yesterday, Rucka will, with a to-be-confirmed artist, tackle the Man of Steel monthly in Adventures of Superman, joining Jim Lee and Brian Azzarello on Superman, and Chuck Austen (and a yet to be named artist) on Action in a revitalization of the Superman titles.
		Rucka said that when he was asked most recently about writing the character, his fairly quick affirmative answer surprised him slightly, but things quickly flowed from there, indicating to Rucka that he was right in his decision.
		Something else Rucka is planning on exploring in Adventures is the different ways in which Clark and Lois approach their day jobs.

		Greg Rucka has found a place on my "writers to read" list.
		Knowing I like Greg Rucka's Atticus Kodiak books, I stuck with the first part of the book with an open mind.
		After the story settled down with all the players in place I was hooked and found the last half of the book to be a fast-paced page turner with a powerful ending.

		Or it could be those huge ads that DC Comics has been running everywhere, touting Rucka's writing skill and reminding people what they already know- with Greg Rucka, you never get what you expect and you're in for a hell of a ride.
		Rucka pauses to laugh when CBR News compares that description of him to Clark Kent and then continues where he left off, saying, "There's distance there and people find it hard to relate to him, whereas with a character like Batman, there's a root tragedy that people can very easily empathize that.
		That place in the universe that Rucka mentions is often interpreted by fans as having to represent the "mightiest champion" position or "best hero" role, but this writer is loathe to ascribe such names to Superman, but not out of a lack of respect for the character.

		Medusa) was not sleeping, Wonder Woman has a magic sword and shield, obviously would have been familar with the story, and would have used this strategy the first AND the second time, and at the least she could have blocked the snake's bite in the first fight.
		Rucka is writing one of the best books from DC Comics right now, and as a person who has never read Wonder Woman before, I am continually surprised at how inventive and enthralling his work is month after month.
		And for the guy who asked, Diana began the battle with a helmet on and a blindfold underneath but as the battle continued the helmet, and later the blindfold were removed by Medousa.

		Rucka, I’m sorry I’m merciless about your spotty work and your objects of admiration, because when you’re on, you’re really fucking on.
		Rucka’s 19 issues are the best mainstream comic I’ve read in months and Millar’s 6 issues were some of the worst (I try to be selective about my mainstream reads).
		The structure of the series changes, I presume, around the time Rucka knew he wasn’t continuing on it.

		One thing that Rucka has done that annoyed me was making Diana a vegitarian, after Perez established her as not only a meat eater, but someone who attaches great spiritial and religious significance to the hunt (the whole circle of life thing).
		Rucka's also added a bit of the Fariey Princess to WW with that issue having a little Blue Bird warn her of a raging forest fire...
