Some of the bigger news on CBM this week has not been movie related, but DC's decision to restart the clock on it's entire roster, beginning again at #1st issues. Below is the new character design for Firestorm by Ethan Van Sciver and Moose Baumann...
I have been asked to remove the image of Firestorm.
Bleeding Cool nabbed the first look. I would say it's certainly drastic in some ways but still recognizably Firestorm. The character has always been one of the more popular second tier ones on the DC roster. What do you make of his new look?
The new comic will be called The Fury Of Firestorm and will be written by Ethan Van Scriver and Gail Simone, and drawn by Yildiray Cinar. Here is what Simone had to say about it via her Twitter ..
All I’m going to say is, honest to god, this is one of the most amazing books I’ve ever worked on in any capacity. You guys are going to hear a lot of hype in the coming days, I know, and I’m sorry to add to that, but…this book is INSANE. The art for Fury of Firestorm is by Yildiray Cinar, @ycinar here on Twitter. And he is demolishing it. He is KILLING on it. I can’t say any more. But as Ethan was one of the great minds behind some of the biggest monster hits in comics…YOU WANT THIS BOOK. I am sorry for blurting this stuff out, but we haven’t been able to say a word, as page after page of beautiful art came in. That’s all I can say. Forget anything you ever thought about Firestorm being a b-list character. You will not believe this thing.
