Note: Teen Titans aren’t just any team of teen heroes — they’re legacy heroes, carrying on from DC’s top heroes but doing it in their own way. And Brazilian artist Pericles Junior has trapped their youthful vitality in a bottle — a bottle of ink, that is — and done a spirited pin-up that also presents new takes on their costume. Although some are obscured, I see more than enough detail to consider this P:R Approved. – Chris A.
Note: Virtually everyone has done their take on DC’s Man of Steel, but when it comes to the Boy of Steel.. well, he’s not been so lucky until now. Artist Daniel Irizarri returns to P:R today to give Superboy a look that’s more than just Superman’s hand-me-downs, making sense of the “New 52″ segmented armor look and giving him a haircut. – Chris A.
Note: Readers of Project: Rooftop have seen Ming Doyle grow to become an artist dynamo. She won our Superman: Man of Style contest, ranked high with her cosplay of Batgirl, and has become an integral part of the site. Doyle recently began doing work at Marvel on Girl Comics #1 and the recent Fantastic Four #600, and we’re excited to see what she does next! – Chris A.
Note: As a P:R Regular and P:R contributor, Joel Priddy has been a welcome face here on the site. Currently teaching illustration & cartooning at the Memphis College of Art, Priddy has been schooling us for years on his dramatic re-inventions of classic super-heroes.

Note: This collection by Ilias Kyriazis is inspired by DC’s recent revamp of the Teen Titans for “The New 52,” but the artist takes those heroes and puts them through a rigorous set of costume revisions to come to this amazing final product. After the finished pinup, look below for Kyriazis’ amazing concept sketches. – Chris A.
Here’s what Ilias had to say about the design:
These were done with the DCnU reboot in mind so I knew that:
1- They should have a team look. (“Titans first, sidekicks second”).
2- Red Robin should have wings.
On the other hand I didn’t treat this as a complete “they-meet-for-the-first-time” relaunch and I kept some things from they past costumes like Superboy’s bracelets and Impulse elements in Kid Flash. Red was a common in everyone’s part costumes so it was an easy choice for a team color. I incorporated “T” logos and downplayed individual logos (Superboy getting an “S” in his shield could be a plot point). I kinda based the final illustation on Brett Booth’s cover and I threw in my take on “coal girl” (I don’t know if it has been announced who she is yet).
