BRANDON PETERSON EXCLUSIVE TO MARVELBrandon Peterson -- who for the last few years served as an artist, art director and vice president of CrossGen Entertainment -- has signed an exclusive creator agreement with Marvel through 2006. Peterson will begin drawing covers on such titles as Ultimate X-Men and then move on to several new assignments that will be announced in the coming weeks. "I've known Brandon for quite some time now, he is one of those rare talents that can do it all and he does it all at a master's level," said Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada. "He's also one of the most enthusiastic people I know and I'm thrilled that he's bringing that energy to Marvel. "We have some amazing stuff planned for Brandon, including the reinvention of a classic Marvel character that will have fans talking for years to come. There aren't many people in the comics industry that can draw with his ability and energy so I'm thrilled for us and for our fans everywhere that he'll be dedicating his amazing talents to the pantheon of Marvel Heroes." "Over the last few years while occupied at another job, I've observed the incredible progress Marvel has made with the editorial leadership of Joe Quesada," said Peterson. "Marvel has really undergone a renaissance with things like Marvel Knights, the Ultimate universe, and the rejuvenation of the core titles. I appreciated from a distance the hard work and skill that they and everyone at Marvel have shown.
"After I had left my former job, Joe and I talked at length about some of
the great projects Marvel had planned, and I found myself getting caught up
in the infectious enthusiasm he has for the company. It didn't take too long
to see we were on the same page and Marvel was the place for me to be.
Marvel has a great support staff and everyone has been really positive about
me coming aboard, especially C.B. Cebulski who has been instrumental in
helping Marvel and me come together."
