DC:New Frontier...Wow!

[Morgoth]

I just picked up Vol. 1 and 2 of DC:New Frontier, and it is amazing.

Ever since I first saw the cover I was drawn to it, today I had to get it to see what was up with it.

It is so cool, the artwork reminds me of the Timm DC Animated Universe, the writing is very good, and I just love the retro setting.

It's a wonderful period piece, it's such a great idea.

I love the Superman "S" being the yellow, red, and black. The whole thing is just neat.

I haven't even read all that much, just about three chapters and I'm loving every panel, every word balloon, every second of the fun!

For those who don't know what it's about, it is set in the fifties when they are trying to get the super heroes to unmask themselves or be black listed just like so many actors etc. during the Mcarthy hearings, the war heroes from the war comics interact with the super heroes which never happened back then, and that's about all I know so far.

I am a bit dissapointed with the action figures for this book, they could've done a better job with the detail but I have to get a Superman, and I hope they come out with a Bat-Man, I haven't seen him yet.

I have recently gotten back into Batman and Superman and lately I've been drawn back to the DC Universe entirely and this is hitting the spot.

I love Marvel but I also love DC. I just like how their heroes are more clear, not getting mudded up by constant woes, but I still like that part of Marvel, but I also like sitting down and reading about a stand up, clean cut, simple Super Hero.

Darwyn Cook did work on some of the Bruce timm Cartoons, like the intro of Batman Beyond.

I heard that they are coming out with a BATMAN/SPIRIT mini possibly this summer drawn by Darwyn Cook (probably written by him too since he wrote and drew New Frontier)
I love his stuff.

 

[Harlekin]

I absolutely loved New Frontier. Probably my favourite Elseworlds at the moment.

My LCS has part two but not part one. I'm going to have to ask the owner to order it before my birthday.

I did not know that, that explains the great look, I thought they were just trying to make it look like that, but it looks so classic that type of art is perfect, anything else wouldn't look right.

I have to read more later after work, I started reading it late last night so I started getting tired, or I would've finished part one last night.

Can't wait for more!!!

I wish Darwyn would do the art on Batman after Kubert, Batman's had some generic artists lately, nothing that just pops out, Jim Lee was the last good artist on that book, can't wait for Kubert. Man, I miss Jim Aparo.

I heard that Timm's working on a DTV of New Frontier

 

[Elijya]

yup, that's the word. either he or Paul Dini let it slip in an interview by accident since they weren't supposed to talk about it yet. I hope it will be incredible.

we'll also be seeing an Absolute Edition in a few months

It isn't Elseworlds...

 

[Comic Book Boy]

THE NEW FRONTIER is amazing. Probably one of my favorite graphic novels ever.

You better not be kidding, this news is TOO awesome to be true.
I would absolutely love to see this.

Does anyone know what studio or where?
It would be a dream to work on it, I HAVE to apply there.

 

[batnkevlar]

It isn't Elseworlds...

Of course New Frontier is an Elseworld...

 

[Harlekin]

It isn't Elseworlds...

So you missed the bit where Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman were active during the second World War, Hourman got killed by falling from a rooftop and a plethora of other things we know is not what happened in contuinity?

It's true. It is on IGN Filmforce web-site. I figure the studio will be WB.

 

[Artistsean]

Man, I wish I could get an interview there.

I can't wait for it, sounds awesome. I loved these two books.


We should keep this thread alive, inform everyone on here about the coming animated event.

My god I'd have a fangasm if this were true. It's what I've wished for.

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

I loved The New Frontier. It was my favorite mini that year. And it totally blew Identity Crisis out of the water (and thats saying something).


I would so buy that Absolute Edition if it wasnt 75 bucks

 

[gildea]

New frontier.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

 

[Harlekin]

I truly believe that people that don't like 'New Frontier' either don't excist or are dead.

Oh they exist sadly.

 

[Harlekin]

Nah, who do you think you're kidding. I haven't heard a single negative voice about New Frontier (that's actually read it).

 

[Darthphere]

I have.

 

[Spider-Gamer]

New frontier.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

I have to agree.

 

[Harlekin]

I have.

That's because you're special.

 

[Darthphere]

That's because you're special.

Thats because I hang around dumb people. One guy said "WTF is this ****? Its all ****ing cartoony, garbage." He lost his arm in the battle.

 

[Harlekin]

Good. Kill him next time.
