Promo reveals better look at new Flash logo, more interior art
DC has released a series of house ads featuring their premier New 52 books. And by “premier” I mean the books that never get canceled for very long: Detective Comics, Action Comics, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, the Flash and the Justice League. Newsarama has the gallery.
This gives us a clearer look at the new Flash logo, since our previous view was incorporated into the Flash #2 cover with artistic license and blur effects. (See also: The Flash Logo Through the Years.) Continue reading
Flashpoint #5 Covers Revealed
Today, DC released the main and variant covers for Flashpoint #5, due at the end of August. The standard cover, featuring the Flash, Professor Zoom and Batman, is by series artist Andy Kubert, with the Batman vs. Professor Zoom variant by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. Continue reading
Teen Titans #100 Variant Cover
Edit: Phil Jimenez’ variant cover for the double-sized finale.
They seem to be going for everyone who has ever been a Titan (who’s still alive). They even included Protector (who was a stand-in for Robin in a series of anti-drug PSAs from the 1980s when they discovered that the rights to using Robin were tied up.)
Speedsters I’ve spotted: Wally West (as both Kid Flash and the Flash), Bart Allen as Kid Flash, Jesse Quick, Mas y Menos.
Francis Manapul’s Process Reveals New Flash Logo
Francis Manapul has been posting his art process for The Flash #2 on his Tumblr blog, starting with layouts, moving to the finished drawing, to the finished cover…which you may notice includes the logo!
Here is the finished cover to The Flash #2. I colored the cover in Photoshop. I color my cover on occasion when there is a very specific look I’m going for. This was also the first time I got to play around with the title logo. I wanted to run the electricity on it to make it look like it’s part of the art. Had a lot of fun on this cover.
I’m not sure why, but it makes me think of the Tangent Comics Flash logo…even though it doesn’t look remotely like it. If anything, it’s slightly reminiscent of the design used for All-Star Superman and All-Star Batman & Robin, but even then, only barely. Check out my run-down of the Flash logos throughout the years. It looks like I’m going to be updating it again soon…
Inertia Returns in Teen Titans #99
Newsarama has the cover to Teen Titans #99, revealing that Bart Allen’s “dark twin” Inertia returns as a member of Superboy-Prime’s new Legion of Doom.
Inertia was created as a clone of Bart Allen and sent back in time to replace him (several issues of Impulse, then the “Mercury Falling” storyline). He later tricked the Rogues into killing Bart shortly after he became The Flash (“Full Throttle”), putting them through hell, and they got back at Inertia by killing him in Final Crisis: Rogues’ Revenge.
No word on whether Inertia is resurrected, brought in from an alternate reality, or a younger version brought “back” through time travel.
