Someone is standing behind Animal Man. Any ideas?

Hate how that artist draws faces...

Anyway, could it be Wildcat?

Hate to break it to you, but that's not the cover. That's a promo image that's been circulating for months -- Meltzer said that the team is going to consist of nine people in that image and one that isn't.

[mwynn]

Has the official cover been released yet?

Actually that is the two covers to JLA #1. As I understand it you divide it down the center and you have the two covers. The second issue has the 9 members of the team on the cover.

I think there is 1 more cover for issue 1.

Where'd you hear that? I remember Meltzer saying when this image came out it wasn't actually a cover... and if you divide it, you've got a lot more than nine characters on either side.

Okay, to clear up the confusion, I went straight to the source...

Looks like they DID decide to go ahead and make that the cover art, although there will be a third cover by Michael Turner. Sorry for the confusion, mwynn, my fault.

Ah, the infamous second issue cover... I don't know if I trust it. They did the same with with the Teen Titans OYL, gave us a cover with most of the members obscured, and it turned out the outlines didn't match the characters on the final cover. It's possible that those are the final characters (in which case it seems

Red Tornado, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow and one Green Lantern

are a lock), but I wouldn't lay odds based on that cover.

No problem. So has anyone seen the 3rd cover yet?

I don't think it's been released -- they'll hold the variant in reserve for a bit.

Anyone else think that the GA outline looks a little too "curvey" to be Ollie?

Not with Turner drawing it, his GA is a lean guy. But you may be right.

Nope, not with how Turner draws. It's probably Connor. Thing is, look at the waist. The GA outline doesn't look like it's in a bodice that's way too tight. If you look at the outline just below, with the long hair, you can tell that's a Turner female because of her waist. Also, the one just above the GA one's head is also a female again because of the waist. You can't really tell definitely that that's Kendra because you can't see the waist.
