There's also a third cover by George Perez, but I have yet to see it anywhere. My guess is it will contain a lot of heroes and villains on it, should be amazing.

The comic definately looks promising too, I can finally put some personality behind all those who train me and send me on my TFs!

DasScoot · 04-12-2005 08:43 AM

So awesome.

Except the thugs are called Hellions and look like Outcasts.

SkunkWerks · 04-12-2005 08:53 AM

Whoah! Whoah! Waitaminute here! Editor! Can I get an editor in here?!

"Hellions trying to sneak up on Synapse and Sister Psyche"? Huh?

Those are OUTCASTS.

(Edit: apparently I'm not the only one who noticed...)

Voidchild_NA · 04-12-2005 08:57 AM

Simply stunning. Too bad us Europeans don't get it here.. ;P Oh well, just provide me with a link so that I can instead import them at some point. ^^ I won't have much choice if this is the quality of the series. Just this preview made me see Manticore in a totally different light. ^^

Also, Positron looks badass! ^^

Actually all three covers are previewed in the article. Its just that the Perez cover is up at the top of the article instead of down with the others. You can still click it to see a large version of it. I'd have to say its my favorite of the three.

Despite the Hellions/Outcasts snafu...still sounds like an awesome premise with the potential to not only play with the game's idea of death...but also poke fun at death in comics overall.

Sikyanakotik · 04-12-2005 09:13 AM

Well, at the risk of sounding slightly spoilerish, there's a pretty strong connection between the two groups.

This looks wonderful from what I've seen, both story- and art-wise. The premise is downright chilling! And I love how you follow the text bubbles in the splash page to Manticore's location in the fray.

Whoops you are right. That one is great, and the Lord Recluse cover is great too.

BrimstoneGale · 04-12-2005 09:39 AM

Totally awesome! Can't wait for it, I want it now! Now I say!

minMAX · 04-12-2005 09:53 AM

I wasn't impressed by the actual comic book part; it felt too far removed from the Paragon City I know and love. Nice try is the best I'll give it.

The cover art was pretty good though.

GreenDon · 04-12-2005 09:56 AM

wow is all i can say about the preview for the new comic. i felt more excited about reading that preview than i probably did about most the other issues of our current comic run. i can't wait to get the new comic now. and if there are more issues outside our current 1 a month, i'll be looking to pick them up as well.

States is looking pretty ticked off in that one, and about to give someone a world of hurt....

I feel bad for that dude with the steel pipe through his chest. That's gonna leave a mark.

Brawl · 04-12-2005 12:13 PM

wow.... that looks amazing. im really looking forward to the new issues. i'll still miss our current gang though.

nunix · 04-12-2005 12:36 PM

Also, that AIN'T Sister Psyche. I forgot the name; Estelle? Something? Been mentioned here in General before, some chica from Brazil. Plus the Outcast/Hellion thing.

It doesn't bode well where, in the first issue, you mess up some pretty basic character names like that.

for the last time IT IS SISTER PSYCHE! the character who is sister psyche in independence port in issue 3 is aurora borealis's body which is inhabited by sister psyches mind. in I4 sister psyche gets her old body back, which is the body you see in the comic.

so the artis got it right, that is sister psyche.

Dawnslayer · 04-12-2005 12:46 PM

Very cool. Statesman is a tank, eh? Great way to introduce us to the comic... and the art is very well done.

Lookin' forward to it.

And frankly, I'm glad Mark isn't Hopping down the bunny trail for this story. - It's a nasty slant on Paragon City - and I like it.

Manticore · 04-12-2005 01:08 PM

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that those pages are a preview and the text is not final.
The Hellions/Outcasts error and the repeated text bubbles will be fixed for the final version.

Cheers,
Manticore

PS Brawl is dead on about Sister Psyche.

Snorii · 04-12-2005 01:18 PM

Thanks for the info Manticore. Love the character (Manticore) in the preview so far.

Nice to know, Manticore. I was hoping some editing would still be possible, especially on the Hellions/Outcasts flub. Thanks for the update! I'm very much looking forward to the final product!

Dale Keown is doing a cover?!?!

I bow before Keown. When it comes to drawing Hulk, there is none higher. I must have this variant cover.
