‘Toon Tumblers SDCC 2011 Exclusive Reveals Full Justice League Lineup?

One of the buzzed about stories of the weekend was the reveal of this years Comic-Con International exclusive from ‘Toon Tumblers. Revealed on their Facebook page, the glass features artwork from Jim Lee and appears to reveal the complete lineup of the new Justice League coming out of their August/September relaunch.

It’s interesting to note how closely the new lineup follows the order in which members originally joined in the “satellite era.” After the “Big 7,” Green Arrow, the Atom, and Hawkman were the next 3 members to join and are all present here. Although his group then skips over Black Canary, the Phantom Stranger, Elongated Man, Red Tornado, Hawkgirl, and Zatanna (who will be in Justice League Dark), Firestorm, the final new member of the Satellite Era is included, although his previous history with the team might not exist as Ronnie Raymond has been reduced to high school again in this DC relaunch. It’s sad to see Martian Manhunter’s history with the team seemingly excised. I wish they would say he was a founding member and just went on to Stormwatch recently.

As far as the other new members, we have Element Woman, which echoes the fact that Metamorpho was the first hero offered Justice League membership only to reject it (although he later joined the team during the International days). Element Woman also makes the second character known to make the post-Flashpoint jump to the regular DCU as it was previously revealed that the Peter Milligan created Mindwarp will go from Secret Seven to Justice League Dark. Since Geoff Johns is writing Flashpoint, it makes sense he would bring one of his new creations over. The same goes for the inclusion of Mera since Johns will be writing the new Aquaman monthly as well.

That just leaves the previously established Cyborg, the oddly included Deadman (who is also in Justice League Dark), and one mystery female character.

In Person
James Denton, Voice of Superman
Bruce Timm, Executive Producer
Sam Liu, Director
Dwayne McDuffie, Writer
Andrea Romano, Dialogue/Casting Director

Warner Home Video and The Paley Center for Media present the west coast premiere of All-Star Superman, the highly anticipated tenth entry in the popular series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Animation. Grant Morrison’s Eisner Award–winning vision of Superman’s heroic final days on Earth is brought to exquisite animated life by executive producer Bruce Timm, director Sam Liu, screenwriter Dwayne McDuffie, and a star-studded cast guided by renowned dialogue director Andrea Romano. In the film, Superman rescues an ill-fated mission to the Sun (sabotaged by Lex Luthor) and, in the process, is oversaturated by radiation—which accelerates his cell degeneration. Sensing even he will be unable to cheat death, Superman ventures into new realms—finally revealing his secret to Lois, confronting Lex Luthor’s perspective of humanity, and attempting to ensure Earth’s safety before his own impending end with one final, selfless act. The cast includes James Denton (Desperate Housewives) as Superman, Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) as Lois Lane, and Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) as Lex Luthor, as well as seven-time Emmy Award–winner Ed Asner (Up), Golden Globe–winner Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under), Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds), and Linda Cardellini (ER).

A limited number of tickets will be available to Paley Center Members starting Wednesday, January 19. Check this link for updates.

Adam Hughes Announced as Guest for Mid-Ohio-Con 2010

Press Release:

Mid-Ohio-Con announced that Adam Hughes has joined the guest roster for Mid-Ohio-Con 2010.  “Adam is one of the most influential and successful creators in comics today with a body of work that spans from comics and graphic novels to cards and gaming and has inspired work in countless other mediums.  We’re thrilled to welcome him as a guest of honor for our 30th anniversary show,” said James Henry, Managing Director of Mid-Ohio-Con.
 
The Eisner Award-winning creator is most commonly known for his stylized renderings of women – super heroines, damsels in distress, and figures in fantasy – as seen in Cover Run: The DC Comics Art of Adam Hughes which features the best of Hughes’ work for DC Comics, along with commentary from the artist, rarely seen preliminary material and much more.  Cover Run debuted in July 2010 at the number 2 spot on the New York Times Bestseller List and promptly sold out its first print run.

Adam began working in comics in 1985 at the age of 19 and in 1989 he started on his first mainstream comic title with DC’s Justice League. He worked on the book for almost 2 years, doing covers and interiors until 1990, then switching to just supplying artwork for the covers. In 1998 he began a highly successful five-year run as cover artist on DC’s Wonder Woman, bringing him critical acclaim and commercial success while solidifying his status as an all-star creator with legions of fans.

During the course of his career, Adam has brought his unique style to a broad array of titles for indie and mainstream publishers alike, including Star Wars for Dark Horse, Catwoman, Justice League, Legion of Superheroes, Power Girl, and Wonder Woman for DC, Gen13, Savage Dragon and Tomb Raider for Image, and Sensational She-Hulk and X-Men for Marvel, among many other titles. With the highly successful release of Cover Run: The DC Comics Art of Adam Hughes, Adam’s work is in high demand and we look forward to seeing new projects from the creator in the future.
 
Now entering its 30th year, Mid-Ohio-Con is one of America’s longest-running and most successful comic book and pop culture conventions. Each year, Mid-Ohio-Con brings fans of all ages together with leading comic book writers and artists, film and television creators and stars, as well as publishers and retailers from across the nation. Mid-Ohio-Con 2010 will be held on November 6-7 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. Visit us online at www.midohiocon.com.
