March is going to be a big month for the big two, and one only has to look at Marvel Comics’ announcement that Beta Ray Bill is back in his new series.
The limited series will be written and drawn by Daniel Warren Johnson, and will spin out of the evens of Thor and King in Black.
Beta Ray Bill is tired of playing second fiddle to Thor – and with Beta Ray’s famous hammer, Stormbreaker, recently destroyed at the new All-Father’s hands, tensions are higher than ever. The mighty Korbinite must strike out in search of a new weapon…and a new destiny. Assuming he can first defeat a Knullified Fin Fang Foom! Joined by colorist Mike Spicer, Daniel Warren Johnson will take Beta Ray Bill on a journey beyond the shadow of a god!
“Beta Ray Bill is literally my favorite Marvel character, so it’s a dream come true, and there are images in this book I’ve been wanting to illustrate for years. It’s even more exciting that I get to write this series in the context of the current Thor universe,” Johnson said in a press release from Marvel Comics. “There’s a lot to unpack with Beta Ray and I can’t wait to share my story with you all.”
According to Marvel, the first issue will be an oversized debut issue and arrives in March 2021.
