Orlando said in the press release, “‘Commanders in Crisis’ is all the energy and creativity I’ve served for the past five years, now completely unchained! No rules, no restraints, the type of strange and passionate ideas that brought me into the medium in the first place. Comics should be bold, comics should be big, and comics should be badass. This is my first freelance launch since 2015, and we’re taking a nuclear shot across the bow. No vanilla vengeance here! This is a fight for comics as they need to be.”
The series is being produced at the Italian media company Arancia Studio, where Mirka Andolfo — whose books have been translated into English by Image — works as art director. Tinto commented, “I am really happy about being onboard for ‘Commanders In Crisis.’ Steve is a great guy and a fantastic writer and publishing with Image Comics, which put out ‘Invincible,’ my favorite superhero comic, is a dream come true. I am very thankful for the opportunity.”
“Commanders in Crisis” #1 releases online and in comics shops October 14.
