Tracie Mauk is a cartoonist/actress/cubicle drone living in Omaha, Nebraska. Her work has appeared in publications such as Wildguard: Insider, Golly! Catching Hell, Matinee Eclectica, and the prestigious and long dead Nebraska Quarterhorse Magazine. She can also be found online via DeviantArt, Tumblr, and as co-creator of the webcomic FIGHT! with writer Kevin Church.
Tracie says: "Impulse is one of my all-time favorite characters and I felt a lot of temptation to put Bart Allen back in the role, for this piece, but ever since Wally West's daughter, Iris, pronounced herself the new Impulse in Flash: Rebirth, I've really liked the idea of a young girl with her dad's Speed Force connection who happens to have a twin brother who got cut out of the whole superpower deal and has to stay at home with Mom, while Irey and Wally go on patrol together. That seemed like it would create some fun conflict for the characters with Irey having to deal with Jai's jealousy and frustration and it throws a very young, female superhero in the mix, which I totally get behind. It's a shame that was never really explored further."
Impulse and Iris West were created by Mark Waid, Mike Wieringo, Alex Ross and Ethan van Sciver. Read more...
Great concept. Looks like it would be a lot of fun and good family dynamic.
ReplyDeleteWally and his family have been criminally mistreated by DC over the last few years. I would absolutely love to see this book with Iris in the role of Impulse! Wonderful cover, Tracie!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Bring this into the new 52. Great job Tracie.
ReplyDeleteGOING ON MY PULL LIST NOW. Great stuff, T-Mauk!
ReplyDeleteI would most definitely read this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea it is to use Ivey West! Bart has found his own role in the DCU, but we need an Impulse. Why? Because the name inspires FUN. I'd hope to see Max Mercury make an appearance by issue 5.
ReplyDeleteWould read? Yes please.
YES!! The world needs a great comic about a young girl with super-powers.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Love the art! Love the design! Love the barrettes! This could be such a fun, fun book! It could easily be an all-ages book that was actually in continuity. Imagine that :) (And the team-up possibilities would be fun, too!)
ReplyDeleteI could totally get behind this one. Especially if it gets back to the original idea of Impulse as a superhero sitcom.
ReplyDeleteI would pay money for this.
ReplyDeleteI JUST LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH!! <3
ReplyDeleteCan't it be true? Come on DC, let her draw this series!! :'3
