Comic Book Resources and DC Universe: The Source are reporting that David Finch, one of Marvel’s best-selling comic book artists, has signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics. Along with his acclaimed work on Moon Knight, Finch is perhaps best known for his work on events like Avengers Disassembled and the recent Ultimatum.

This will mark Finch’s first foray into the DCU proper, though he did make a quick stop over when he did the artwork for 1999′s The Darkness/Batman crossover. It’s a challenge the artist is ready for.

“I’ve drawn just about every big DC character, either through commissions or at conventions, at one point or other, but it really does feel like new territory for me,” he explained. “There’s something very special about putting pencil to paper knowing that you’re drawing the actual, official characters that will be published in the books. It really makes me think about just how I feel about each character, and what they represent for me. Characters work best for me when they become human. Their gestures and posture, and even their lighting is always calculated to get some kind of effect, and if I know what they’re really about for me, that’s when things start clicking.”

No word yet what will be Finch’s first interior project will be, but fans will start seeing his covers popping up in early 2010. For the full article, including which authors Finch is looking forward to working, check out the full article at ComicBookResources.com.
