The Twelve

That's just like a woman, isn't it? Throwing away logic and reason for pure hormonal emotion and calling the other person crazy. You're too much.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

When will this comic series come out?

 

[The Geek Vault]

I'm wondering this too?

 

[Specter313]

I think a prelude or something is supposed to come out in December, so it will likely start up in January.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Your kidding.Showing previews now,and the actuall comic will come out next year?

 

[Specter313]

You may not have heard of this before, but it's a little technique that people call "building up hype".

JMS talks Twelve

I kinda wish JMS had used The Black Marvel and the Destroyer for this project.

Still,this and Superpowers coming out together should be a treat.

What the hell is that, looks like a bunch of guys that belong in a DC comic.

 

[PhotoJones]

You mean Golden Age comic?

 

[Bubonic]

Oh is that their point?

 

[PhotoJones]

Uh...yeah. The story is about 12 Golden Age characters winding up in the present day.

 

[Bubonic]

Well thats a good enough excuse for looking like a bunch of ***** then, thanks.

 

[The Geek Vault]

When the hell is this out?

 

[PhotoJones]

Not soon enough.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahaha, I love the "Berlin or Bust!" tag.

 

[PhotoJones]

I love pretty much everything about the art. Weston's awesome.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know if it's because of the subject matter or the way they both draw barrel chests, but I keep thinking of Sadowski's Superpowers art when I look at this. Both are good, although Weston's is better.

 

[PhotoJones]

Both are drawing ridiculous Golden Age costumes. I think Sadowski's a bit more generic, though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I agree. Weston's much better with faces and is more detailed in general.

 

[PhotoJones]

Not to downplay Sadowski's talent, though. He's very good and I'll have a hard time passing on Superpowers.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It'd be really awesome if he went back to JSA whenever Dale Eaglesham leaves.

 

[PhotoJones]

Eaglesham's work is good but overrated, in my opinion.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

His Secret Six work wasn't as good as a lot of people made it to be. It was good, but it had wonky moments. His JSA work is the best of his career, though. It's a visual treat, especially when Eaglesham gets to draw talking heads. Those are some pretty heads.

Of course, that's also probably what's making the book late every month.

 

[PhotoJones]

I haven't read enough of it, but I'll take your word for it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

This week's issue with the Kingdom Come Superman looked amazing. His Alan Scott looks a bit odd, but Jay and Superman himself both looked great pretty much every panel they were in. Eaglesham's really come a long way with the expressiveness of his faces.
