The question is, is he one of the characters we haven't identified yet or is he new?

"Lightning Lad" looks more and more like Black Lightning with every new published picture I've seen thus far.
The only thing missing is some goggles and he's be all set.
"Light Lass" doesn't look like herself either for that matter.

I just will never understand the last minute decision to change the color in skin tone. They had already decided on the regular, classic skin tone. They even published pictures!
And everyone knows how disappointed and confused fans were when they saw the final choice.

Clearly this change was meant to remind the fans about Black Lightning and therefore the Justice League. I guess The Legion mythos wasn't enough.

I agree.

Gim's fingers look a bit weird, but it's gorgeous.

I wonder if we'll find out something this week. Perhaps it wasn't intended as a reveal, since when the solicitation was written it was assumed we'd already know from reading #2?

I find that I am more bothered by buff/stocky Tenzil than I am about chunky Brin! I've associated Tenzil with the wirier 5YL/SW6 version...
