Ares' Official Rebirth Design?

[Dr. Poison]

From Liam Sharp's Twitter page:


Been dying to show this shot from page 01, #23! @DCComics have said I can share a few details from the first 5pgs!

Isn't that similar to how he looked on the cover of the Rebirth issue? So we'd already had a glimpse of Ares' true design .

[sakuyamons]

Nice.

Very Perez esque.

[LordTrump]

Isn't that basically the movie design?

[Frontier]

Nice.

Very Perez esque.

Compared to Deimos and Phobos who were pretty much straight-up Perez .

Isn't that basically the movie design?

The helmets are similar but I don't think the movie version has the cape.

Yes, but after seeing a different version in Year One I thought this merited posting.

Ooh, me likey.

Sharp's designs for Ares and Cheetah are the best since Perez's. I'd love to see his designs for Circe.

[Mel Dyer]

Hrrrmmmm...he don' loog lige no Dard Vader ribov, no morng.

[Super-Wonder]

Looks fantastic!

[Last Son of Krypton]

I love it!

Now that I think about it, he's done every modern take on Dian's villains except Circe by this point.

I'm actually glad he didn't get to do Circe, because I think he'd just give us more of the same - slutty, tired, harem-gear Circe - and we'd never've gotten the cool, worldly, Whovian Circe we have now. Maybe, that sounds unfairly pessimistic, but, Liam's Frazetta-styled work on the title just didn't promise anything new for Circe, and I think Circe needed exactly what Nicola gave her...new. On a side-note, his Gigeresque, 'Heavy Metal' Doctor Cyber was a nice departure from all of that and makes me think his Circe might have been something interesting.

I'd love to see Liam's Giganta and Silver Swan, though.

As Ares is the god of war, but Hades is the god of the underworld, does Ares have to pay a licensing fee to Hades for all the death imagery?

[Outside_85]

While it does look very nice indeed... from a design perspective is is also utterly generic. Like ask someone to draw to draw Ares, God of War, and 9/10 times its going to be something like this.

I forget if this was done at one time in the WW comics, but I would do all the Olympians, not just Ares, in the style of black-figure Greek pottery. All the gods would appear inky black, with line work in red.
