Press Release
For one day, in one rural community in Wisconsin, the dead returned to life. And not just to life but to their lives as well. Rather than being mindless zombies, the “revived” in the new Image Comics series REVIVAL by Tim Seeley (HACK/SLASH) and Mike Norton (Runaways, Battlepug), seem to be the same people they were before death.
Press Release
The epic tale of blood and drool begins here! Keeping the tradition of its creator-owned mentality, Dark Horse Comics is pleased to announce its newest venture with Mike Norton—Battlepug!
Sean McKeever and Mike Norton brings Fear Itself to the Marvel heroes-in-training in Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt.
“With YOUTH IN REVOLT, we’re taking a look at how a palpable sense of fear and despair can affect the younger generation of heroes,” said McKeever to Marvel.com. “In the first issue, they’re deputized by the federal government in anticipation of terrible things to come, but what then? When they’re rushed into action without any strategy, who suffers? When things get out of hand, who will step up and who will crumble? And how well can they stand up to their own fears?”
The initiative trainees step up to the plate in May in Fear Itself: Youth in Revolt #1. The issue has a $2.99 cover price.
As we roll into the weekend, I found this image from Shazam #19 by Mike Norton to be rather nice. Considering this week’s Comic Casting Couch also featured Captain Marvel, I find it quite interesting that Norton’s Wizard Shazam looks a lot like Christopher Lee than my choice.
