The Rocketeer/Spirit: Pulp Friction
It doesn?t look like there were as many comic-related announcements on Saturday at WonderCon as there were on Friday, but the second day of the con certainly brought some gems.
? IDW and DC announced that Mark Waid (Daredevil, Insufferable) and Paul Smith (Uncanny X-Men, Leave it to Chance) are teaming up for The Rocketeer/Spirit: Pulp Friction. ?Not many writers have been lucky enough to write The Rocketeer or The Spirit,? Waid said in a press release, ?so I feel like I?ve won the lottery. This is one of the most exciting-and scariest-assignments I?ve ever undertaken. Luckily, I?ve got Paul Smith to make me look good!? The first issue of the miniseries arrives in July.
? IDW also announced the creative team for their THUNDER Agents revival. Writer Phil Hester (Godzilla, Wonder Woman) and artist Andrea Di Vito (Dungeons & Dragons) are the latest team to chronicle the adventures of the agents. Dave Sim and Jerry Ordway will provide covers.
? ?Star Trek: After Darkness? will serve as an epilogue to this summer?s big Star Trek sequel. It?ll run in issues #21-23 of IDW?s ongoing Star Trek title, written by regular series writer Mike Johnson with art from Stellar Labs.
? And finally from IDW, the publisher will release Visual Funk, an art book featuring the work of Jim Mahfood, in October, as well as a Black Dynamite miniseries that starts in September. .
? Jeff Smith announced that his next project is called T?ki Save the Humans. It?ll be a free, weekly webcomic, followed by print collections.
? Aspen Comics announced its summer event ?The Elite Saga,? which also serves as a celebration and culmination of 15 years of Fathom.
? Legendary Comics will publish Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero, a prequel to the film coming out this summer. The graphic novel will be written by the film?s writer Travis Beacham and supervised by director Guillermo del Toro. It will feature a cover by Alex Ross and interior art by Sean Chen, Yvel Guichet and Pericles Junior with inks by Steve Bird and Mark McKenna.
