I really like the new outfits as well. I know some think it's a little too "Trek" like, but I think they look just fine.

If I had to guess, (and it IS only a guess, I have no "neener-neener knowledge") Shadowman will be something big that needs to be built up to.

It's hard to say.

The weapons he manifested were always ancient. At least for the year 4001.

Do his pants look futuristic?

In the future, all pants are futuristic.

Come on! I have it on good authority that in ten years, we're all converting to silver jumpsuits. A fashion that will last forever.

If I win an argument, it doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm a better arguer.

In addition, I'm right.

I want the Shredder outfit on the right.

Love it. Though if that is in fact Kris, I would have preferred her original look.

I'm thinking Rai from the past is more likely than Rai in the present. What I could see them doing is have the original Rai in the past, use him for about a year, kill him off, and then bump the series into the future with the second Rai. Bloodshot could be based off of the original Rai and the future Rai could be modeled after Bloodshot.

With Eternal Warrior, does it look like he's wearing one of those Oriental metal skirt things that old warriors had? I don't know what they are called, but I recognize it from the Dynasty Warrior games.

What artist drew this?

I think that it's outstanding.

It appears so.

Sidebar; A little beef of mine for some reason is "Orient" or "Oriental" You won't find it on a map, but it refers to parts of Asia, I wonder where the hell the term "Orient" even came from?

edit; ah I see, it's the antithesis of "Occidental" one simply means East and the other West. END

Bellbottoms for Rai.

I would have to say that as well. Not using a main "A list" character to lead off with makes me think they have something special up their sleeve.

I think the special something they have up their sleeve is more A-List characters than they can launch with.

Agreed. It looks like a bike helmet. Hmm, they really haven't said how he got back from Planet Vine... nah.

You guys are reminding me of this.

One thing I noticed in that CBR article is that it said this, "Pierce said that he felt the company needed four series to start out with in order to be "relevant," but that he wants to grow slowly, adding perhaps two more titles within the next year." Well which 2 titles appear in that character splash that aren't announced titles?? RAI and ETERNAL WARRIOR ... If there are only 2 more titles coming in the next year then it looks like maybe Shadowman is not one of them

D'oh.

I still am saying. Rai is in the current title launch. He will be the other artist within the Bloodshot line.

Two stories told within the same book. Parallel stories. Opposite books.

Sorta like the whole Magnus/Rai thing initially. Only STAYING within the time frame.

Have you seen Godfather 2? Remember how the parallel stories were told, flipping back and forth between the two lines, the rise of Michael Corleone AND of Vito Corleone.

That's my cool prediction for the Bloodshot line. Sticking to it. Which leaves space for the Shadowman, still.

I could get behind that idea.
