The Official Cyborg (a.k.a Vic Stone) Respect Thread!

The Brazilian artist juggles DC Comics' A-list stars and brings something new to each.

If there's a dream superhero art gig, Ivan Reis has it.

He gets to illustrate new characters like the super-shrinky new female Atom, too, yet it's getting to do Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Cyborg on a monthly basis as the artist of the DC Comics title Justice League that really brings him back to his childhood.

"But now honestly, the biggest fun for me is the creative process, and knowing that everything you've been through with these same characters during your growing-up years, now you're able to work with them and influence a whole new generation, without forgetting to honor the die-hard fans like myself," says Reis, the Brazilian comic-book illustrator who teams with writer Geoff Johns and fellow artist Joe Prado.

Johns and artist Gary Frank continue their Shazam backup story in Justice League issue 19 (available Wednesday digitally and in comic shops), but Reis draws the main feature, which is continuing to lead to this summer's "Trinity War" crossover among DC's three Justice League titles.

Last issue, Cyborg began a recruitment drive for new Leaguers — including the Atom and quirky Element Woman — but learned that someone may be trying to undermine the superhero team from the inside. Underhanded goings-on continue in the new chapter, plus Reis teases a sequence where Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman have "a very, very serious conversation. It's food for thought — things can get very ugly very fast."

With so many characters to draw, and each one with a different body type, mannerisms and individual idiosyncrasies, the challenge Reis faces is to make it all work together, he says. Here, the artist breaks down what he brings to each of the Justice Leaguers:

Cyborg: "I try to keep his innocence since he's the youngest of the bunch, and lost his life to alien technology," Reis says. "Now he has to face the odds and adjust himself to a new reality. Drawing him, I try to keep in mind that he's still a young man and, in his core, human. So he always tries to keep his tech form as close to human's as possible when not in action. And when things get ugly, he transforms his body to a humanoid war tank."

Superman: For Reis, the Man of Steel "represents the ideal of being a superhero. But not just a superhero — the superhero. I try to make him look as iconic as possible and always try to make him stand out."

Wonder Woman: The artist approaches DC's top female star the same way he does Superman: iconic, regal and imposing, he says. "She's a warrior, and never hides, so she's always on the frontlines."

Batman: "You'll hardly see clearly my Batman!" Reis says with a laugh. "He's always lurking in the scenes I draw him, or shrouded by the dark of his cape. He has no powers, so he always relies on attacking his enemies out of nowhere. Even when he's among friends, he's prepared for the worst."

Aquaman: Reis was also recently the series artist on Johns' Aquaman, and he focuses on drawing the Atlantean king looking down at people "due to his royal nature," he says. "His conflict lies in balancing his temper. I always try to portray him as put together as possible, to show his effort to control himself, but obviously that falls apart when he's in battle."

The Atom: Introduced recently in Justice League, the college student-turned-heroine is "young and fun, not to mention an expert computer geek," Reis says. "I always try to portray her as very self-confident of who she is."

Element Woman: An eager girl who possesses similar powers as Metamorpho in that she can transform into various elements, she has a very young personality that Reis highlights on the page. "She's a fan of the super-heroes that now she's working with," he says, "so I always try to draw her always in awe of her teammates."

Fan-favorites Kevin Conroy, Dana Delany and Nathan Fillion will reprise their roles as Batman, Lois Lane and Green Lantern, respectively, in DC's new animated feature Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, TV Guide reports, but some new voices will be in the mix as well.

For one thing, Conroy won't be the only Batman involved. Kevin McKidd, who TV Guide notes is currently on Grey's Anatomy and who also starred in HBO's Rome, will be the an alternate Batman, one readers of 2011's Flashpoint comic series know is not Bruce Wayne. Justin Chambers, also of Grey's Anatomy, will take on a starring role as The Flash. He's taking over the role from Michael Rosenbaum, who voiced the character in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited and in the recent Justice League: Doom feature.

Other members of the cast include Michael B. Jordan, who superhero fans might remember as Steve from Chronicle, as Cyborg; C. Thomas Howell of Southland and The Amazing Spider-Man is main baddie Professor Zoom; Cary Elwes of, duh, The Princess Bride, will voice Aquaman; voice acting veteran and Young Justice's Black Canary Vanessa Marshall will be Wonder Woman; former Superman voice Tim Daly's son Sam Daly will fill his dad's shoes as Superman; Hellboy's Ron Perlman will be Slade/Deathsroke, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine's Danny Huston is a military man once again General Lane.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is set for release July 30 on DVD, Blu-ray, on-demand and as a digital download.

Cyborg's tech is as impressive as ever:








he's got some very impressive sensors, and as always his tech alerts him to any pressing info like Superman and WW causing international incidents

[Jabare]

Also Cyborg's Boom Tube's are now silent! Watchout Super Villains



So he's like Batman's security in the back lol. Not sure what he can do but help Bats run away if he riles WW up too much.

They do know Cyborg's got super hearing not sure why Bat asked him to stand back here

O sweet looks straight out of young justice. My favorite cyborg design so far.

That Cyborg design is sick!

Did anyone read the Cyborg scenes in Flash issue 19?

Ya there were some pretty good Flash & Cyborg moments during their conversation. Vic even manages to tell a joke at one point.

Hopefully he starts cracking more jokes again. That's one of the better things about the character that has gone missing.

I'm not picking up Flash anymore. Issue worth picking up or Does Vic just make a cameo?

The art wasn't the best, but the story was enjoyable. It was a lot like Die Hard. Vic is in 4-5 pages. So, I consider that a little more than a cameo. You may not. Anyhoo, the dialogue between Cyborg and Flash was both emotional and humorous. It's a continuation of their discussion from the Watchtower before--emphasis on continuation. It's not a re-tread. It's basically incremental character development for both heroes.

I can post the scenes here later.

A fan asked whether Cyborg might get his own series, and Harras asked who else would like to see that. No applause. A chorus of "Wonder Woman" #25, came up again, with Wayne saying "it's big old comic like Mom used to make."

This is pretty depressing.

Hearing a lot of negativity about Cyborg the last three days. Really bumming me out.

My foots already half out the door on main stream comics as it is. Hopefully things will change in the upcoming months or I may take an indefinite break from mainstream

DC Comics has announced this summer the heroes of the DCU will be facing off against He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

After barely escaping from his last battle with He-Man, Skeletor has run off to the most unexpected realm in order to recover and catch his breath - EARTH. Once he gets there he starts to siphon off Earth's core magic. This obviously won't go unnoticed. He-Man forms an unlikely hunting party and sets of in search of Skeletor. Of course this will put him up against the heroes of the DC Universe. Eventually they will all need to figure out how to put a stop to Skeletor and his mysterious new master.

The cover art is by Ed Benes and DC UNIVERSE VS HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE #1 is on sale August 28.
