OK, last piece of news for now. It’s a quicky, anyway, albeit still cool.
Announced from Marvel at SDCC, the build-up that Remender has been putting into his “Uncanny Avengers” series towards the inevitable Thor-centric ‘Rangarok NOW!’ storyline will have a super special all-star artist behind the wheel: Steve McNiven. McNiven has been hopping around Marvel books for a bit now, starting with “Captain America’s” re-launch around the time of the movie and illustrating a few issues of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” and now in November McNiven will be illustrating this event-sized arc for Remender’s latest series.
McNiven is a great artist. He’s good at illustrating on an epic scale, especially at Marvel, and his work on “Old Man Logan” or “Civil War” will attest to that. While I kind of wish he’d be on a book and stay on it as a consistent collaborator, it’s nice that he’s still getting big fun epic storylines like this assumedly will be to bring to life. Remender and McNiven seem like a pretty dynamite creative collaboration.
And that ominous teaser. How about that, eh? Suppose something bad might happen?
Haha, I’m kidding! It’s a Rick Remender series — of course something bad will happen! NO ONE IS SAFE!
