And good GOD does it all look GREAT! Like, seriously great!
There will be five books to come during the last month of Siege. What they will cover we’re not entirely sure, but the cover to all of them will be done by the immensely talented Marko Djurdjevic, and when done they will be the linking triptych seen above. So awesome. Just staring at that image alone makes me want to have these books now. The five books will be:
- Captain America – written by Christos Gage, art by Federico Dallocchio
- Spider-Man – written by Brian Reed, art by Marco Santucci
- Loki – written by Kieron Gillen, art by Jamie McKelvie
- Young Avengers – written by Sean McKeever, art by Mahmud A. Asrar
- Secret Warriors – written by Jonathan Hickman, art by Alessandro Vitti
Here is what Tom Brevroot has to say about how the books will happen and be within Siege continuity:
“So Captain America concerns the roles of the two Caps, Steve and Bucky, and their relationship, Spider-Man focuses on Spidey and his opposite number, Venom, and also on Ms Marvel just a bit, Secret Warriors gives you insight into Nick Fury’s viewpoint on the war, and how it dovetails with his larger gameplan in the regular SW series, Young Avengers focuses on the always-popular Young Avengers, particularly Wiccan and Patriot, and Loki gives you greater insight at this crucial moment into the God of Mischief’s goals and objectives, as well as how he got to this point.”
Not going to lie – all of these sound awesome. And with Gillen and McKelvie teaming up yet again for a book is exciting beyond exciting, especially for a Phonogram fan. Of course, there is one more one-shot that is supposed to take place post-Siege, and I’m sure we can all look forward to those details coming out soon…
Needless to say, Marvel has been kicking ass with good news this week.
