>All-Star Artist Nicola Scott Stuns with Twelve Artist Spotlight Covers This September
>Coming to your local book comic shop this September, DC will publish a set of Nicola Scott Artist Spotlight variant covers depicting DC’s characters “Through The Ages”! Spotlighting solo characters in their various costumes from multiple decades of publication, and “Class Photo” looks where multiple Super Heroes have worn the mantle, all-star artist Nicola Scott delivers the history and evolution of DC’s Super Heroes with each bespoke cover. From multiple Green Lanterns and Flashes to every costume Catwoman, Black Canary and Zatanna have worn, and more, look for Nicola Scott Artist Spotlight variant covers on Action Comics #1069, Batman #152, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #31, Birds of Prey #13, Catwoman #48, Green Lantern #15, Harley Quinn #43, Nightwing #118, Superman #18, The Flash #13, Wonder Woman #13, and Zatanna: Bring Down The House #4.
The artwork for three of September’s Nicola Scott Artist Spotlight Variant covers exclusively debuted with Kings Comics, winner of the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award and Australia’s most well-known comic book and pop culture specialty store. These “Through The Ages” covers first appeared on Action Comics #1000, Detective Comics#1000, and Wonder Woman #750 and will now be included in this new Artist Spotlight series. Scott then turned her attention to DC’s Green Lantern Corps for a Green Lantern 80th Anniversary 100 Page Super Spectacular #1 variant cover featuring the Green Lantern Corps from the 1940s onwards, showcasing John Stewart, Alan Scott, Hal Jordan, Abin Sur, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, Simon Baz, Keli “Teen Lantern” Quintela, Sinestro, andJessica Cruz. Scott’s Nightwing cover has never been published but was made a fan-favorite image online by cheekily showcasing Dick Grayson’s evolution from Robin to Nightwing in DC’s comics, and the seven new covers expand the line to include Aquaman, Black Canary, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Supergirl, The Flash and Zatanna.

Neat idea but this doesn't include any character I care about.
No black uniform?
where is electric superman?
>Fishnet covered thighs
Where's the front left from?
don't know lloks like some 60s or 70s comicbook
All it needs is Robert Palmer singing Simply Irresistible.
Second Row far right is the best. That hair style is gigasexo
>no leather harness and jacket
>no Odyssey redesign
Strange, usually DC leaps at the chance to remind people of the first one.
where is biker shorts wonderwoman?
middle far right is the 90s wonder woman rep
latter half of the 90s run I think
RIP in peace, Earth 2 Jay. You deserved better. I think.
>ass-shot
Nice.
Kys, pedo.
Most of these were drawn as variant covers before, but this Nightwing one was done as some cheeky fan art about five years ago. Can't believe this is going to be a real cover.
four out of twelve were published before plus the Dick/Nightwing has seen the light of day as you pointed out
Some of the covers have been good, but they would be better designs as wraparounds, or with only 5-6 images. I do agree that I'm not a fan of her faces, which isn't as much of a problem in her interiors as on these.
She's actually Patrick Gleason's concept.
It was probably drawn before Mora did his models.
>She's actually Patrick Gleason's concept.
source?
I'm pretty sure it's in the intro Words Words Words himself wrote to the first volume of Young Justice, but I just wasted ten minutes trying to find it on-line and the closest is this:
"[Teen Lantern] has often been compared to Riri Williams due to being created by the same writer, Brian Michael Bendis. However, she is actually based on the idea of a story about a young kid hacking Green Lantern power battery that her other creator, artist Patrick Gleason, submitted as a standalone series but was rejected."
I'm also pretty sure there's an interview with Gleason where he says this or it's on his Twitter, but since Musk took over, it's a pain to search "x"
well it's not the same since they retcon-ed that shit (by Bendis once he realized it was dumb even for his standards) and copied Hal's origin with it being a gauntlet by a dying alien.
Because kid genius hacking a gl ring IS DUMB. It may fit in Dexter's Lab or a silver age story but unless you're Lex Luthor and spent 20 years cracking the ring and the battery it will never work or not be dumb.
I only forced myself to read the collected YJ because my library had them - I can't be fussed into reading the current Lantern. But of course they were going to change some things once Gleason fricked off to his exclusive and they decided to essentially undo pretty much everything Words Words Words inserted. Even with Naomi being a huge flame out on live action, it will be a cold day in the future when anyone brings the vast majority of his OCs back.
I don't disagree with you that it was stupid but almost everything else Gleason contributed to that run was also stupid, it was not all BMB idiocy there.
Ah, I didn't enlarge that particular image.
She's essentially Nu52 Kara and she's essentially not depicted at all.
>re-using old covers
The repurpose rejected covers all the time, son. You do realize that any publisher that commissions a cover and then kills it, has to still pay the artist? They may not have had it inked or colorized, but they still have to pay at minimum a kill fee for the pencil work.
Aren't all the ones that survived all still around in some unknown alternate AU? It's been so long since I read that torture porn that arose from Worlds End that I can't remember him dying.
>The repurpose rejected covers all the time, son
You sound like a 15 year old saying “son”, you dweeb. Like Mitch’s homosexual friend from Dazed and Confused.
Secondly, no, they don’t regularly repurpose covers for an entire month like this, that’s absurd to suggest.
>The repurpose rejected covers all the time, son.
Except they aren't rejected. A good handful of these were already published. Particularly the Batman, Superman and Green Lantern covers.
pretty sure every single one of these covers was published. Not a single one was rejected.
>>>It was probably drawn before Mora did his models
Can't be, the jacket's right on the bottom right in the "previous costume section"
Which is how you can tell how out of date the reused ones are like Batman, Nightwing and Catwoman
You can tell the afro abomination on the top left is a product of the 2020s, just by how ugly she is and how they went their way not giving her any curves.
Keli was Bendis, that was 2010s
What's wrong with afros?
>Bendis
It all makes sense now.
>First Appearance
>Young Justice Vol 3 #1
>(March, 2019)
thank Bendis for her
She's like, 13 you fricking degenerate
Hmmm leotard
The only complaint I got for this one is they added Sinestro but didn't add Kilowog. Kilowog should of been there man.
Jessica and Afrogirl are both cute, and needed to be sexed, immediately.
So is bottom right just the designated spot for the worst design, or did they all actually happen at the exact same time?
I think that one is from Justice League Dark rebirth run, the one with the upside down man and manbat as a team member.
Cooke Catwoman as the exception.
Halbros…
bottom left is the worst zatanna though?
Where is top-right Harley from? That’s the only one I haven’t been able to get a concrete answer.
>they went their way not giving her any curves.
She’s eleven years old.
>Where is top-right Harley from? That’s the only one I haven’t been able to get a concrete answer.
Probably that shifty Sejic comic
I think I saw someone mention it was supposed to be Hush Harley.
It's hard seeing her downgrade made so apparent here
Two Arkham outfits, but no suicide squad daddy's little monster, even though that's what every normie thinks of when they think of Harley.
bottom right was the one they used in the comics when movie Whorley came out.
Also there is no Birds of Prey movie suit.
>character invented in the 90s
>10 different outfits "through the ages"
frick off. Should have picked someone with an actual history to draw from. Harley is what, 30 years old? Should have been Peeg.
If you like her art you should read Black Magick from Image comics, Rucka's writing is just kinda there but that is a tour de force for her art
I’ve hated every single one of these covers. Her art always has this awkward quality, especially with the soulless faces. And it pretty much just ends up being full of shitty redesigns since almost every major characters costume has been ruined by artists over the years.
What's with this legacy clout chasing? This whole compilation screams "we're past our prime"
DC Comics is just desperate for nostalgia to try and get boomers back into their comics.
>Remember Old Thing?!!! Please forget the years of crap we’ve been putting out!
These are genuinely terrible.
But are the books any good?
I mean this honestly with no exaggeration: no they’re absolutely terrible.
Then what's the point? I'm not going to buy a shit book for a shiny cover. Whatever happened to "don't judge a book by its cover"?
DCSHG nod?
Nah, that's the costume she had when she ditched Justice League Dark and joined the Justice League proper during the New 52, which the DCSHG look was based on.
Russel Dauterman's covers with the similar "costume through the ages" theming over at Marvel are better.
Not really, he just copy and pastes and then draws the another outfit over it, maybe with a change of hair
At least Nicola tries different poses and faces
The Wonder Woman one in particular is pretty impressive in how she draws subtle different faces and hair to make it match that era/decade
Wait, am I drunk? I could swear they did this a few years ago.
These covers have all been awful and I find it hilarious that they’re re-using old covers at this point. DC is so pathetic.
Preemptively, Frick marvel too. But this shit is just pathetic.
>no green arrow
>no captain marvel
>no martian manhunter
She should made more, also a hawkman and hawkgirl ones
>no captain marvel
It's Shazam
>It's Shazam
ACTUALLY it's The Captain now
Frick off homosexual
