Coming Soon From A Publisher To Be Determined: Crimson Streak!

When Standard Comics was last mentioned here, it was concerning their version of Commander Steel, renamed General Steel. Their re-imagined version of the WW2-era character had been mentioned across several social platform and so it was hoped that he would make an appearance in the coming Sentinels book that Standard plans to crowdfund soon.

It turns out that a Standard Comics character might very well see publication by a publisher other than Standard before any of that happens, however.

Coalition Comics is a, well...coalition...of seven different publishers, including Standard, each contributing characters from their own line for a team book called Power Company. And one of the Standard Comics characters taking part is the Canadian speedster named Crimson Streak.

I love this character's look. It's simple but still sleek and cool. He's been used in a number of teaser images already including the one below, in which I think he looks terrific. If you knew nothing about him the image would make it clear that he's a speedster type. Great job with the "brake scrape".

This project has been in the planning stages for quite some time but it appears now that the seemingly-obligatory Kickstarter campaign for it will launch in September. So let's watch out for that as we continue to keep track of Standard Comics as well. They (Standard) have at least three more Canadians in their stable of original creations and I'll want to learn more about them as Standard becomes more active as a self-publisher.
