scans_dailyNewsarama have more info up about the new Vibe series via an interview with Andrew Kreisberg
Featuring art by Pete Woods, Vibe will focus on a young hero named Cisco Ramone (although his brothers teasingly call him "Paco.") While the character wasn't very well respected in his pre-relaunch incarnation, the New 52 has given Cisco unique powers that can detect invasions from other dimensions, making him a key figure in this year's most anticipated events in the DCU.
The story of his importance goes like this: When Darkseid invaded the DC Universe (depicted during the launch of Justice League), he started his invasion in Detroit. The Ramone brothers were caught in the crossfire, and Armando, the oldest, sacrificed himself to save the youngest, Cisco.
And like any good comic book story, the experience gave Cisco superpowers. And Detroit is now the location of a "weakened membrane" between dimensions.
After Cisco gets the attention of A.R.G.U.S. Agent Dale Gunn, he finds out that his powers allow him to sense incursions from other dimensions into Detroit. And because of these unique powers, Vibe ends up guarding the gateway to the multiverse.
More info at the link.
It's certainly an interesting hook for the character, though it's one of those ones that if the series DOESN'T take off, then they're sort of stuck with something quite major with nothing going on.

I really, really hope that I'm just being paranoid.

Date: 2013-01-23 05:55 pm (UTC)Some past series summaries haven't appealed to me, but the execution has worked out: "Uninterested shopkeeper inherits family job" became Jack Knights Starman and Jaime Reyes had a tough intro as more or less "A new Blue Beetle when people liked the old one fine" also became a superb series.

Also... they all look 18 and up... though that could be from the floating habit of superhero comic book artists drawing everyone like they're grown adults... (well, women at least)
