Looks like Gilad holding an axe to me - I think it's just partially cut off in the drawing.

And the Primary Rebo-ish guy with the spear looks more like a vine creature, perhaps it is Lord Vine99?

Bloodshot definitely looks hulked out there... :hm:

What a cool drawing!! :clap:

Yeah, I wasn't seeing the blade ... but I see it now. Thanks :thumb:

If it is Gilad ... he's got a different costume design to him - which I like. It feels more modern .. like an updated version of a traditional look.

So we know most of that group. Looks like Hwen and Shan switch roles. I see The Myth in the background too.

It's definitely a Vine in Commando Armor. With the Vine survivors likely ending up on Earth it could be any of them. Pretty sure Trill is dead.

We were told at the panel today that this is the final confrontation in the Book of Death mini. Check out the con report thread. Updating that now.

Who are the two in the far background? The halo around the girl looks geomancerish.

Could it be in the deadside and the foot belongs to Darque?

Cary Nord had cover art for a Book of Death issue featuring a defeated Eternal Warrior at the hands of Darque. So, this could very well be the Deadside, especially given the representations of the Mirages. As for the two characters in the far background, Dinesh explicitly said they were introducing some new characters in the mini that we may not see pop up again for some time, but that we will see again.

First of all...HOLY *SQUEE*, YES, MASTER DARQUE!

Secondly, the dark skinned woman in the center background behind Myth looks a lot like Alyssa, although the yellow glow doesn't fit with anything I remember from the Shadowman comics. She did have some use of a blue flame power/effect though. I'm stretching, but I would seriously love to see Alyssa again.

It's his outfit from The Valiant miniseries. I much prefer that design over the other post-A&A update with the plain 1/2 piece chestplate & the red armour sleeve. :thumb: :thumb:
