From the people who brought you Milestone and Quantum & Woody...going to drop 7 titles over 7 months following FCBD special. Got some good names attached. Could be good.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
Will be really good. I will let you know tomorrow after I read the first couple of issues, but i am really excited for this universe. Some friends are involved so don't count out exclusives, etc.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
A superhero Universe with a ''real world mentality''. Sounds like the concept Shooter used for the New Universe and Valiant.
Valiant is the son of the New Universe.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
Just saw this Universe ''blends pure science fiction with superheroics but with a real world mentality.'' Sounds like Shooter's concept for DEFIANT.

I will check out the FCBD issue and see it if strikes my interest.

Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
First title announced:
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/02/08 ... -may-2017/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The Event sounds a bit like the Ultraverse, where all/most of the characters gained their abilities from a single event.
Of course a black Astronaut returning from space with superpowers sounds awfully familiar...
Art looks good though...that's always a concern with a small publisher for me...some Boom, IDW and Dynamite books can have *SQUEE* poor art at times, which can ruin a decent concept.

The New Universe had The White Event, when powers were given to a finite number of individuals.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
New Universe was just a tad before my comic reading time. Not as though either was completely original. The idea of an igniting event has been around for a long time.StarBrand wrote:The New Universe had The White Event, when powers were given to a finite number of individuals.
They do seem to be drawing a lot from the New Universe/Valiant/Ultraverse/Milestone templates of the 90s.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
Ditto that, and maybe let an arc or two get published before checking this out any further. Not sure what it is, but something about the line makes me expect many delays. Not sure why.Cyberstrike wrote:So everything old is new again.StarBrand wrote:Just saw this Universe ''blends pure science fiction with superheroics but with a real world mentality.''

Hopefully it succeeds and they stick with it. Too many really good ideas have been brought to an end due not wanting to stick with it.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
The last four titles were announced. Two others deal with astronauts from the failed mission to stop an asteroid and there are more SJW leads.

Accel looks amazing in terms of art and design of the costume, this is how you do diverse heroes people. New exciting ones that make you want to read about them for many reasons besides their nationality

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
First issue of Noble dropped this week. Did anyone read it?
They also have their FCBD issue coming out tomorrow. Might check that out first before giving the line a try.

I'm planning on trying their FCBD issue. If Noble is at my LCS (kind of doubt it) I might pick it up.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
I really liked first issue of Noble. All action, just enough hints of back story. Great books.

Re: Catalyst Prime (New CB Universe)
I get a definite New Universe/Ultraverse vibe from these books. I hope it works out.
