SDCC 2014: An exclusive DC comic from LEGO

One last word, before taking the plane tomorrow morning for San Diego, to let you know that LEGO will be offering on its stand on July 26 an exclusive comic designed by Paul Lee alias Polywen.

The artist, who draws most of the Super Heroes comics on behalf of LEGO and in particular those inserted in the sets of the range, brings in passing some details on his flickr gallery which will calm the enthusiasm of all those who see in these drawings of future minifigs: There are no clues in this board. The characters drawn here and which are not yet available in the LEGO inventory are only the figment of Paul Lee's imagination. Just like the Ventriloquist seen in a comic book available in PDF format on the LEGO Club website (To download here).

Below is Paul Lee's response to speculation about the upcoming DC Comics minifigs that would be previewed in this LEGO exclusive comic:

"... FYI, talk about rampant speculation! This is for a San Diego Comic-con Exclusive Comic give away. I will be signing them with the writer on Saturday, July 26th at the LEGO booth.

I have had no advanced knowledge of the minfig exclusives for Comic-con. The depictions of characters and choices of characters were entirely based on personal preference and aesthetics.

There is no factual reason to read any more into this. I drew that Cyborg because my kids like Teen Titans, GO! and I did that version of him. The Ventriloquist is a character in the comic. His design was designed by me and I would not think it would ever be produced. There some small liberties taken, as the game figs do not have a convenient attachment point and would sit too high ..."
