Let The Quest Begin!

I ran across this stellar image by Evan Shaner on the solicitation of DC's new Future Quest series due out in May of this year. Several things jumped out at me looking at this mighty assembly of freshly redesigned Hanna-Barbera heroes. Frankenstein Jr. looks downright awesome and for the first time rather scary. There seems to be a fourth member of the Impossibles, a girl who has a "C" on her costume -- "Coilgirl" perhaps. Mighty Mightor seems to have found some actual cloth since those prehistoric times and Birdman seems to have gotten a sprucing up as well. They look great!

Here's the official solicitation - one filled with info.

I'm very much looking forward to this. Should be great fun.

Here are two of the alternate covers. I don't usually get these things, but I might this time.
