DC Comics has announced an August 29 launch for Phantom Lady, a four-issue mini-series written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti, with art by Cat Staggs and Rich Perotta.

The mini-series will also feature Doll Man.

"Phantom Lady and Doll Man is an exciting return to the roots of the characters as pulpy, street level crime fighters with a few new twists and some heavy sci-fi overtones", Justin Gray said. "We took the best of their original core concepts and updated them with no relation to our previous work on Phantom Lady and Doll Man in the Freedom Fighters. You're getting in on the ground floor of the origin story of two people whose lives intersect and a common threat that transforms them into pretty amazing and engaging superheroes."

Amanda Conner provides the cover to #1.

Well, that's an interesting twist on her outfit. Although it is somewhat better suited for street-level crime-fighting than her previous versions

she looks like a goddamn Legionnaire in that get-up.

WTF about yellow and purple with pink highlights says "street-level" to anybody?

1. If she's not Dee Tyler, I'm not interested.

2. Meh to the new PL's costume. As Chap mentioned, she looks like a new member of the Legion.
A REAL Phantom Lady shows sideboob!!

I trust Gray and Palmiotti, so I'll give it a shot.

I really liked The Ray so I might try this.

Agreed
(and there's nothing wrong with looking like a Legionnaire!)

I believe in the creative team, which I know they will somehow spotlight the old costume. Plus I like that Amanda Connor cover.

Here you go, yellow and purple is most definitely "street level"

I think he meant that less about the color scheme and more about the fact that she's actually wearing something that doesn't look like it was taken from a sultan's harem.

[Cat-Scratch]

Kat Dennings is built for that role...

Yeah, she has the assets.

Nice creative team, but who was asking for this series?
