Comments:
Juna Marris, now this is a hero. She is selfless and a true powerhouse. Juna is illustrated as a woman of genuine compassion and generosity. She clearly has more than what it takes to be a hero.
Erebra is a sorceress. The facial expressions here come across a bit flat. That said, her identity is a surprise, and the way the story reveals who she is is well done.
Owen Harris possesses the power of a sun god. While he may have god-like abilities, he is still very human and has a lot of growing up to do. The art presents him in an outfit that suits his elevated status.
The Twin Flames are a team whose powers come from ancient Egypt. Their introduction carries a strong sense of excitement.
Ruby can summon the dead. She comes across as a lovable character and is illustrated as a cute, caring girl. The Scarlet Scion has a unique power set and an interesting origin.
An alien battles humans who worship an Ultra-Terrestrial. Who is he, and what drives him? He wields a striking weapon, and his appearance is quite demonic.
Rovek discovers disturbing things aboard the space station he occupies. This preview of Wayfarer offers very little information beyond establishing it as a science fiction story.
Noir is a dark vigilante protecting the innocent. She is tough and hits hard.
Vesper is another vigilante, taking on a Doctor Zombie. He is a good man fighting evil and helping others. His costume is simple, yet it stands out, and he carries himself like a soldier.
The Cobalt Cricket clearly enjoys fighting crime. The villain, Salt Peter, comes across as somewhat underwhelming. The story is fun, but it needs to decide whether it wants to be serious or comedic, rather than sitting somewhere in between.
Mourn is an enhanced human woman with a deep hatred of Nazis. While the preview contains action, the fight scenes feel somewhat slow.
The Goto Guys feature a duo, one strong, one intelligent, working together as a team. A beautiful blonde woman appears to act as their representative. Despite giant bugs and large robots, the story still feels lacking in excitement.
Granite is drawn as a physically powerful character, yet she behaves like a normal person. Aside from gaining powers and transforming into a blonde goddess, she remains grounded. This makes her a particularly strong and relatable character.
Neo-Glyph is headstrong. He tries to stay in control and remain calm, but will rush into conflict if provoked. Picking a fight with Granite proves to be a mistake.
Brain Rot is a fun character presented in a cartoon style. While the preview does not fully explain her, it offers a strange and unique tone.
The Diabolist features a man who is an average escape artist aspiring to be a hero. He comes across as second-rate, both in ability and appearance.
Valorion is a hero from the past who may no longer fit the present. He carries a sense of self-pity that weighs on his character.
Upheaval follows a woman on a mission who is interrupted by Echo Beasts. These creatures are illustrated with a striking and memorable design.
Dax Rigor is driven by vengeance. He seeks to deliver a “Kill Strike,” after one was carried out against his family, friends, and even his timeline.
Grymstone is a strange preview, leaving it unclear where the story is headed.
The Immortalist makes his move. He is a ruthless villain, willing to kill anyone who stands in his way.
Juna Marris, can she save the universe? More importantly, can she save herself?
There are many superheroes introduced here, and they are clearly meant to make an impact. As their stories develop, so too will these characters.
