Super cute!

Is that Cheshire with a mask similar to the Young Justice version? I was hoping they would make that costume update!

Just going to repeat what I said in the other thread.

Yeah, I'm not seeing that "Shoes is actually Lian Harper" theory panning out.

That last issue of Infinite frontier secret files was like a sucker punch to the face. They need to bring Lian back alive.

I think that’s a huge missed opportunity. Having Lian basically taking her mother’s villainous moniker and becoming a hero would be really cool.

So are they bringing in YJ Cheshire via making her the daughter of the original?

Finally! This is one of my most anticipated upcoming DC books! (The Signal's spotlight one-shot by Tony Patrick being another.) I'm hyped to finally have some actually content from the book, and I hope we'll get previews from some of the other stories. I'd specifically like to a see a preview for the Kenan and Connor one and for the marquee Monkey Prince story.

It's the best option available without retconning her character.

Isn't the dream of the actual Cheshire? From what I assume is a memory?

Just a quick sketch that Luciano Vecchio did of the upcoming Monkey Prince.



I love it! And I hope to see many more fanart of Marcus/Monkey Prince to come!

Is Shoes Vietnamese like Jade? I would like to see DC do more with Asian characters that aren't just from East Asia.

More focus on heroes from India might be cool. I vaguely remember Celsius and Solstice, but don't recall any male heroes from India, right off the top of my head.

Or is that still more 'east' than you were thinking?

No, India's in South Asia.

The annoying part is the two most used of these (the new Swamp Thing and Solstice) don't look like their natural selves.

I liked Young Justice: Outsiders changing Dolphin's identity to an Indian girl (it wasn't raceswapping as it was a different character altogether) with mutated white hair. That works as I think South Asians would be a great fit for the Aquaman franchise due to the vastness of the Indian Ocean and the fact that Indian mythos have their own drowned city in Dwarka.

I agree i really liked the Young Justice take on Dolphin.
