The last time comics icon Jim Starlin shared some concept art from the DC Comics project he’s writing, we speculated that it was probably an A.R.G.U.S. book he was working on, on the grounds that the image he teased seemed to look just like some previously-released designs for an A.R.G.U.S. helmet that had surfaced on the DC Comics blog.Well, this time around, we’re a bit more at sea as to what exactly we’re looking at.Last night, Starlin posted the image at left to his Facebook page, along with the caption, “Here’s a new outfit design that may or may not be used in the on-going comic series I’m writing for DC Comics. Still can’t tell you what it is and I’m sure this posting will only confuse things even further than they already are. Aren’t guessing games terrific fun?”It’s not immediately clear who this character might be–and we don’t even have an educated guess to go along with it this time. Starlin did provide a bit more information (though not much) in the comments section below the image:
- I’ll check this week and see if DC will let me show more teasers, maybe some of the artist’s layouts for the pages. Then everyone can guess who he is.
- Yeah, I’m just writing this one. We’re coming in and taking over an already scheduled on-going. Tight scheduling, quite a bit of redesign. What I’ve posted is only my side of a spit balling back and forth between myself and the artist. Wait until you can see some of his stuff!

The fans on the thread didn’t give us as much to work with as last time, either; the first few people thought it might be Masters of the Universe, due to the Prince Adam haircut on the character, but it seems somewhat unlikely that Starlin would be batting around redesigns with an artist on a licensed property, let alone able to share them, without talking to Mattel in the meantime.Besides which, the character looks female to us.
