Masks 2, issue 2 solicitation

The Pulp Coming Attractions page posted the solicitation for Masks 2, due to come out in May, though damned if I know where they got it from.
MASKS 2 #2 (OF 8)
Covers: Butch Guice and Jae Lee
Writer: Cullen Bunn Art: Eman Casallos
The influence of the fiendish Red Death spans history. In the 30s, she stood against the Shadow, the Green Hornet, and Black Terror. In the 70s, the Red Death resurfaced to challenge two surprising heroes–the new Black Sparrow and Miss Fury!


Looks like the Black Bat is the seven of hearts! Unless that's a character I'm not thinking of.

It still doesn't appear as though our hero will be very prominent in this series but the solicitation does make me curious about one thing: If they're introducing a "new" Black Sparrow in the 70's (I assume they mean that part of the solicitation literally) then it's certainly possible that they could do the same for The Black Bat. It doesn't seem like they have any intention of revisiting their modern day version of the character any time soon, but they could choose to create a new one, as well as one based in the 70's.

A significant role in the book is probably too much to expect, but at this point I would settle for a pleasant surprise that sets the stage for future projects.

Here's the other cover that has been revealed. No Bat, but still pretty cool.
