Warning! Spoilers for Black Adam — The Justice Society Files: Cyclone #1 by DC Comics
The Justice Society of America is coming to the DCEU, and ahead of the superteam's arrival in Black Adam, Cyclone gets a new spotlight in a brand new comic. In Black Adam — The Justice Society Files: Cyclone #1 by DC Comics, Cyclone's costume and powers take center stage, as a new Kaare Andrews cover gives readers and fans their best look at the character yet.
Cyclone isn't exactly a household name, but the DC Comics hero has played an integral role for the Justice Society America since first debuting in Justice Society of America #1 in 2016. Created by Geoff Johns, Mark Waid, Alex Ross, and Dale Eaglesham, Cyclone, real name Maxine Hunkle, is the granddaughter of the original Red Tornado. The talkative, genius-level hero would develop similar powers to the classic hero, as she can manipulate wind and soundwaves to create cyclones and powerful bursts. Cyclone would the JSA and become one of its new during the excellent mid-2000s run on the superteam.
DC Comics revealed Cyclone will star in her own one-shot, Black Adam — The Justice Society Files: Cyclone #1 by Cavan Scott and Maria Laura Sanapo. The comic will tie into the Black Adam DCEU film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, where Cyclone will be played by actress Quintessa Swindell. Additionally, the new comic will guest-star Hawkman and will show the hero's journey to ing the Justice Society of America. Check out the cover art for the series by Kaare Andrews, which proves an all-new look at Cyclone's costume and powers.
The costume is somewhat different from the usual one Cyclone sports in the comics, but it retains some of its best elements while creating something better. Cyclone's leggings have the same stripes as her long socks, while she partly keeps her green, long-flowing top from the comics. Check out the synopsis for the issue, which also features a backup story starring Adrianna Tomaz from Bryan Q. Miller and Marco Santucci.
When she was young, Maxine Hunkel dreamed of flying with the Justice Society. Now she finally has the powers and the opportunity…but will she say yes? Guest-starring Hawkman on the road to Black Adam!
Plus, continuing the Teth-Adam backup story: trouble hits home for Adrianna Tomaz as Intergang mercenaries invade the hallowed halls of her university, on the hunt for the sacred totem she “liberated”—but what strange metal is the idol made from, and why does Intergang need it so badly?
The Kaare Andrews covers shows off Cyclone's incredible costume and powers and how it should look in live-action. The character was somewhat of an odd-ball choice to appear in Black Adam's version of the Justice Society of America, but considering the film is introducing a new generation of heroes (including Atom Smasher), it makes sense they went in the surprising direction with the newer . Regardless, Cyclone is an incredibly fun character whose DCEU costume looks great. Readers can pick up Black Adam — The Justice Society Files: Cyclone #1 by DC Comics when it arrives in comic book stores on October 21st, 2022.
