They actually prefer the iron man TAS ming to the clean shaven one.
China has had despots and warlords before. Green Evil Space Wizard Cao Cao is one thing, but in an effort to avoid being racist, they make him look even more inhuman.

I was so bummed when they took Adams off The Flash, so I'll follow him to Flash Gordon.

I'm not actually sure. I know they're reprinting an older miniseries that's based on the 80's cartoon. The new miniseries they're publishing, I'm not sure if it's in the same continuity as the Flash book they'll be putting out, or if it'll be its own thing based on the cartoon.

It will be weird for them to start the Flash Gordon series in July, then immediately jump into Defenders in August. At least when Dynamite decided to their own take on DotE they had the reboot Flash already established.
Is this related to the Dynamite version?
I don't think so.
Yes it is.
Frickin' rad
No. Dynamite no longer has the license. This is some company called Mad Cave.
Is that Defenders of the Earth as in pic related? Pretty cool if so, I liked that show as a kid. Introduced me to The Phantom.
I liked how this show, James Bond Jr and the 90s Iron Man cartoon made the yellow peril characters green
Why didn't the MCU just do that
Holding judgement until I see Ming the Merciless.
I have relatives in formosa, hainan, and osaka to troll. Don't wimp out because some of the usual suspects get turbotriggered.
MAKE THEM SKRULLS.
He's green
They made him look vaugely asian, but gave him a shave. Looks more like Yoda's child molesting stepdad.
Funny thing is that they'll see this as even more racist as the original Ming.
He's like Iron Man TAS Mandarin

BINGO.
Ming should gave a rival named Qing

Give me a quick rundown on Flash Gordon. I may jump on.
College football player gets drafted to fight a space war against an intergalactic tyrant.

Yikes. Comics are truly dead, no talent left.

FLASH!
GORDON'S ALIVE?!
CHISWICK! FRESH HORSES!
Is the flash gordon book and defenders of earth in the same continuity?
I'm not actually sure. I know they're reprinting an older miniseries that's based on the 80's cartoon. The new miniseries they're publishing, I'm not sure if it's in the same continuity as the Flash book they'll be putting out, or if it'll be its own thing based on the cartoon.

other covers
I like that they maintained a similar style to his Dynamite look but gave him more retro theming.
Two Flash Gordon comics AND a Defenders of the Earth comic?
Has the creative team for the Defenders book been announced?
