Finish off Monday with a first look at THE SHIELD

Monday, April 20th, 2009

By Alex Segura

Good afternoon, clock watchers. Monday is almost over and you’re probably already wearing your coat and loading your bags. But there’s one more thing we want to show off before you hop in your cars or respective modes of transport.

As most of you know, come August, we’ll be publishing a number of books spotlighting the Red Circle characters, specifically The Shield, The Web, The Hangman and Inferno, under the watchful eye of writer J. Michael Straczynski. But before we get into all the specifics, let’s look at some cool art, shall we? Here’s a peek at THE SHIELD, from artist Jesus Saiz. Check back tomorrow for more. Enjoy the commute.

    That looks really awesome, love the art, it would make a great wallpaper.

    Which leads me to a complaint. Why doesn’t DC do more wallpapers? You have all of the stuff to make great designs but I have to go fin d them other places.

    I can’t wait until August. I’ve always liked the Red Circle Heroes and I wouldn’t mind seeing both the Lancelot Strong Shield as well as the Joe Higgins Shield…not to mention The Fly, The Jaguar, etc.
