Career
David Finch started his comics career drawing Top Cow Productions' Cyberforce, after series creator and studio founder Marc Silvestri ceased his run as writer/artist on that book. Finch co-created Ascension with Matt "Batt" Banning. He later worked on the first three issues of Aphrodite IX with David Wohl.
In 2003, Finch returned to comics for a year–long arc on Ultimate X-Men with writer Brian Michael Bendis. Following that, the duo moved on to The Avengers, where they destroyed Marvel's premiere superhero team and then relaunched it as The New Avengers featuring a radically different cast. Finch worked on the revamped Moon Knight series with novelist Charlie Huston and then illustrated Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America #4, featuring Spider-Man. This was followed by the Ultimatum limited series for the Ultimate Marvel line. In addition to interior comics work, he has drawn several covers including those of "World War Hulk"; X-Men #200 and the "X-Men: Messiah Complex" storyline; and the X-Infernus miniseries.
Finch illustrated the cover to Disturbed's 2008 album, Indestructible, as well as doing concept design for the film adaptation of Alan Moore's Watchmen.
In January 2010, Finch left Marvel and became a DC exclusive artist. Finch collaborated with Grant Morrison on Batman #700 (Aug. 2010) an oversized anniversary issue. In July 2010 DC announced that Finch would be writing and drawing a new ongoing series entitled Batman: The Dark Knight, the first story arc of which deals with the detective's more supernatural cases. The series launched with a January 2011 cover date but was relaunched in November of that same year as part of the company-wide reboot The New 52. Finch and Geoff Johns launched a new Justice League of America series and the Forever Evil limited series in 2013. Finch and his wife, Meredith Finch, took over the creative duties on Wonder Woman beginning with issue #36 (Jan. 2015), their first collaborative effort. As part of the DC Rebirth relaunch of DC's titles, Finch teamed with writer Tom King to launch the Batman vol. 3 series in June 2016.
