Spider-Woman getting a new costume on March 2015's Spider-Woman #5

Apparently hot in the heels of Barbara Gordon's new look as Batgirl in DC Comics, Marvel is giving one of its longest reigning heroines a makeover come next year, as Jessica Drew will sport a brand new costume come March's Spider-Woman #5 - looking quite hipster herself like the "Batgirl of Burnside".

As reported on USA Today and Newsarama, the makeover will be designed by artist Kris Anka, and will be Jessica's newest look that shed's her original duds that she's worn since her debut in Marvel Spotlight #32 in 1977.

The new outfit will first debut in the mobile game "Spider-Man Unlimited", before making its way to the Spider-Woman title this coming March.

DC Comics: Zatanna gets New "New 52" Costume change

When DC Comics began the New 52 era back in 2011, several costume changes were implemented and scheduled for many of their recognizable characters. Wonder Woman in particular was going to have pants ala J. Michael Straczynski's run minus the jacket, but fans and readers have been vocal enough to have that change iced and the "no pants look" remained.

Now following in the footsteps of that as well as the other news of Power Girl returning to her classic look, it appears that Zatanna, the famous female magician and member of the Justice League, is getting a costume redux after losing her famous "Fishnets" look in her legs. This new look shown above currently appears in the comic series Justice League Dark, and the fishnets were moved up to her arms (as seen in the pic above).

However, it appears DC has listened to fans' comments and is doing a total new outfit for the magic user.

Marvel reveals Spider-Man's new costume for "Ends of the Earth".

Via their official website and Comic Book Resources, Marvel has revealed the full teaser poster showcasing Spider-Man's newest costume change for the upcoming new event in Amazing Spider-Man called "Ends of the Earth". Beginning with March's Amazing Spider-Man #682 (written by Dan Slott and which also commemorates Spidey's 50th Anniversary), the six issue event focuses on Spidey dealing with a new incarnation of the Sinister Six, with Doctor Octopus leading the pack and setting his sights on global domination. As a result, Peter Parker will be forced to go through drastic measures, and one such consequence is the debut of a new suit, which is viewable in the teaser itself.

DC Reboot Update: Full look at "NEW" Superman in Action Comics #1

If there's anything to feel awkward about the forthcoming DC Reboot, this new reveal presented by DC Comics and the New York Post of the cover to Action Comics #1 probably takes the cake:

Ok, let's take a moment to ponder and analyze this entire cover pic.

It's the new look of Superman.

He's wearing a classic blue "S" symbol T-Shirt.

He has a short cape.

He's wearing a regular pair of jeans and shoes.

How the heck this got approved to usher in the DC Reboot is beyond me and most of the DC fanbase. While the focus in this book is being justified as a "Year One" concept for Supes, I'm not too sold on the "half-assed"Supes outfit. It looks too much like one of those T-Shirts you can buy off the department store, and all you need is a red towel and you're good to go... in an awkward sort of way.

Granted, the good news is that the book will be written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Rags Morales, but this "new look" of Superman does the opposite of making me excited about reading this book based on DC's iconic superhero. I know this version of Clark Kent is actually his "past self", when he was still learning to control his powers and didn't have the ability to fly yet, but why couldn't they take a different approach at tailoring his costume, let alone NOT give him a costume at all? I know they're taking a page out of Tom Welling and his portrayal of a younger Supes from Smallville, but this is just a downright silly look for the Man of Steel. Heck, it reminds me so much of a Super Friends episode where Superman regressed to a child again (due to Red Kryptonite) and Firestorm used his powers to make his costume fit his age at the time. When he finally turned back, you can just imagine how tight fitting and small his costume was, and that's the feeling I get from this new costume. Well, one can only hope there's a good reason why Kal-El looks like this and why his marriage to Lois Lane had to go down south like Spider-Man's did a few years ago, but that's the repercussions of the DC Reboot for you.
