    Man, nothing like sucking the fun right out of Blue Devil. Wow, DC really sucks.

      This was always my favorite version of stuntman Daniel Cassidy....the original Paris Cullins design...



      I didn't like when Neron turned him into a real demon in "Underworld Unleashed"

        Maybe the new Blue Devil is Nightcrawler. He didn't die, just shifted universes. Egads that is just horrid.

              So, I'm looking at the Black Lightning sketch. Is his stomach area exposed? Is this a book about male strippers or something? As low cut as that suit is, he's going to provide a whole new definition of a wardrobe malfunction.

                Black Lightning looks very similar to what he sorta looked like in the Old Universe , just with hair.

                  That's probably the part of the suit that's going to be white is my guess...the rest will be variant shades of black and blue...

                    Looking at that new Blue Devil again....he looks so spindly and skinny, he's gonna need that trident (which itself looks weak) cause he's gonna get his arse handed to him...

                      It looks like his electric bolts truly are going to be black. Not exactly an M Night Shamalan twist, but kind of almost a slightly cool idea. But the rest is trash.
                      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                        Ahh...Black Lightning, or as I like to call him, "Not as cool as Electro"

                          Wait a minute. Electro has a pretty goofy suit. Got no idea what Ditko was tripping on when he came up with the sunflower headpiece.

                          I always liked Lightning's original uniform. New lighting suit looks like something Paul Stanley might wear.

                          The new Blue Devil looks emaciated. He needs a cheeseburger or three.

                            What is this obsession with the collars? Is this an actual something somewhere for some sport? Speaking for myself, nothing I enjoy better than having something tight & constricting around my neck while I'm doing, well anything that involves breathing.
                            Someone at DC needs to make Jim Lee actually wear a tie all day. I guarantee his next design look would involve tank tops.

                            What's the deal with those skinny little horns and goat feet on Blue Devil? Is he like an antelope demon now?

                            As for Black Lightning, no redesign will ever do it for me until they give him Black Vulcan's helmet.

                              Notice how the artist for Blue Devil went out of his way to sketch the back of the costume so we could see the complex S&M chain design. Very, very strange.
