At New York Comic Con Marvel Comics announced more All-New Marvel Now! books coming to spinner racks near you this winter. The titles include current talents Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Slott, Rick Remender, Johnathan Hickman, Kelly-Sue DeConnick and Sam Humphries. The exciting news is that there are some new creators getting to play in the Marvel U that should bring some fresh perspectives to some older characters. Creators like Nathan Edmondson, Ales Kot, Felipe Smith, and Al Ewing.
Edmondson, who is a more than competent writer for spy and military genre books like The Activity and Who is Jake Ellis?, will be writing Black Widow #1 and an all new Punisher #1. He proved his Punisher chops with a one and done issue #4 of Untold Tales of Punisher Max in 2012. Edmondson will be matched up with his creator owned The Activity artist Mitch Gerads for Punisher and fan favorite Phil Noto on Black Widow.
Ales Kot will be matched with Garry Brown on Iron Patriot #1. Kot, fresh off the launch of his creator owned series Zero, and Brown, with his spectacular cover art for Incorruptible, should certainly create a visually interesting take on the Iron Patriot.
Al Ewing’s critical success on The Mighty Avengers is going to be writing about Kid Loki in Lokie: Agent of Asgard. His books are always a bit of fun mixed with high adventure. Felipe Smith, a manga style artist with art appearances on many DC and Boom books will be writing an all new Ghost Rider title artist Tadd Moore. Here is the official list of titles announced at New York Comic-Con by Marvel Comics followed by some lovely cover art. Let me know what you think in the comments or on Twitter @MarkAvo.
