Cover reveal: II Crimsonstreak

And here it is...the cover for II Crimsonstreak!


This is from artist Brooke Stephenson, who also did the cover for I, Crimsonstreak. She really outdid herself this time. I mean that, too.

Check out the back cover:


I love the Silver Age comic panels on the back!

Here's the back cover blurb:

Three years after the climactic battle at the Clermont Institution for the Criminally Insane, Chris Fairborne a.k.a. Crimsonstreak chases down escaped supervillains while working feverishly to reestablish world governments in the wake of collapse of the New World Common Wealth.

His father, Colonel Chaos, sits in front of a Heroic Legion tribunal to answer for crimes against humanity. His mother, Miss Lightspeed, doesn’t seem herself following her unlikely resurrection. To make matters worse, Crimsonstreak encounters a being of pure speed not even he can outrun.

Sounds like the perfect time for an alien invasion, an encounter with a group of snobbish space cops, and the mysterious return of a long-dead friend with an unbelievable secret.

War will strain friendships. A multiversal threat will test loyalties. And you will believe a man-bird can fly in II Crimsonstreak.

All of this comes courtesy, of course, of Candlemark & Gleam.

I, Crimsonstreak: The Big Cover Reveal!

They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but I think we all do it anyway.

I, Crimsonstreak does indeed exist! Now, we have a cover to prove it!

The next image is the full "wraparound" version of the cover...you can see the artwork on the spine and the copy on the back jacket. You should be able to click on the image for a larger version of the cover that will allow you to read the back jacket copy.

If you can't get it to work, here's what it says:

Framed by his father, "reformed" supervillain Colonel Chaos, super-speedster Chris Fairborne AKA Crimsonstreak, is sent to the Clermont Institution for the Criminally Insane. A hero surrounded by dastardly inmates and heartless guards, Chris struggles to keep his wits about him, until the arrival of some unexpected new "guests" at the facility provides him with a means for escape. Once out, though, he discovers that the world he knew is gone, replaced by a fascist, supposedly utopian state run by none other than Colonel Chaos himself.

With the heroes of the world locked away or fighting in a disorganized resistance, Crimsonstreak teams up with a snarky British butler and a teenage superhero-to-be. Together, the unlikely (and bickering) allies must take down Crimsonstreak's dad and set the world right again.

Thanks to Brooke Stephenson for the fantastic cover art. You can find out more about her here.
