Some more art from THE FIRST WAVE

Monday, October 19th, 2009

By Alex Segura

A week ago, we unveiled the details about THE FIRST WAVE, writer Brian Azzarello and artist Rags Morales’ gritty pulp romp, featuring Doc Savage, Batman, the Spirit and more. But did you think we’d stop there?

As we noted, superstar artist J.G. Jones will be handling variant covers for the mini-series, and we snagged an in-progress look at the cover to THE FIRST WAVE #1. We even pulled the very busy Jones away from his desk for a second to give us his thoughts on the story spinning out of November’s BATMAN/DOC SAVAGE SPECIAL. Take it away, J.G.:

“I’m just happy to be aboard the First Wave bus along with the serious talents doing the heavy lifting. I love the world that Brian has inhabited with these iconic pulp characters, and the artwork by Rags is spot on perfect. Catch the wave; it should be a wild ride!”

Well said. And now, the cover…

    sounds like the team on this book gets it…and the “proof is in the pudding” as they say - only one word describes this cover: ICONIC!

    I was hoping for a more ‘realistic’ take on the bat-suit.

    Excuse my grammar. Does he have guns?

    This is not the same Batman you know. Although Batman did use guns in his early appearances. This is THE Batman for this pulp universe. Same origin, same Bruce Wayne, just uses guns. I think it was originally supposed to be The Shadow, but DC didn’t get the rights to him. Too bad. I would love to see The Shadow come back to comics.

    I cannot wait for this one!..please, can I get it right now. It’s Brian Azzarello! It’s really Batman! Please can these characters..The Spirit, Doc S. Batman, continue as Azzarello’s ongoing universe.

    Great cover.!!!

    I thought Batman’s suit would mirror the 1940’s BAT-MAN suit a little more than it does…

    I’m looking forward to this series in this “pulp Universe”, too!!

    The “FIRST WAVE” is a great concept. The cast looks great. The art by Rags looks good. I’m going to try and settle back and enjoy it. And maybe read a few of those pulp adventures I’ve been meaning to get to.
    Too bad about The Shadow … he would have been a GREAT addition to the cast.

    Wonder how THE SPIDER’S doing!!???

    I was HOPING BAT-MAN’S costume would be THEEE BAT-MAN’s suit of Bob Kane’s early 1940’s.

    Instead, they’ve went with a more “modern” take than the old, higher pointed ears, klunkier, neato-keeno Kane- Bat-Man look…
    ….and in doing so, missed a wonderful “period-looking” costume.
