MARVEL COMICS' OLD MAN HAWKEYE
Marvel Comics has announced a January launch for Old Man Hawkeye, featuring Clinton Barton in a series written by Ethan Sacks artist Marco Checchetto
Old Man Hawkeye will follow the Clinton Barton in a journey that takes place five years before the events of Old Man Logan, serving as a prequel to the series.
The 12-issue run will be set 45 years into the future, taking place in a darker world where the heroic archer must avenge his fallen teammates – while he still can. Sacks, who currently covers comics for the New York Daily News, previously wrote a story for the third issue of Secret Empire: Brave New World.
"Ethan's been a journalist for years, and he's a certified nerd," said Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada. "I've known him well over a decade, and I never knew he could write non-fiction until one day, he told me, 'I wrote this Star Wars one-shot.' When I find anyone who's talented, I always hand them to our editors and say, 'Do not be affected by the fact this is coming from me.' And everyone loved the Star Wars story and what he had done."
VALIANT DETAILS HARBINGER WARS 2
Valiant Entertainment has announced a May 2 launch for Harbinger Wars 2, from writers Matt Kindt and Eric Heisserer and artists Tomas Giorello and Raul Allen.
Each issue of Harbinger Wars 2 event will come with 48 pages of content and two complete, full-length 22-page stories.
The first, by Kindt and Giorello, will feature the head-on collision of the Harbinger Renegades and the newly returned X-O Manowar. The second, by Heisserer and Allen with Patricia Martín, will thrust Livewire and her new team of recruits into the center of a power struggle with the potential to tear America apart.
“The team at Valiant has set out to make Harbinger Wars 2 the biggest and most impactful comic book event in a generation," said Valiant CEO/CCO Dinesh Shamdasani. "Never before has a publisher attempted to accomplish this much within the confines of the monthly event comic format. For one single admission price, we're going to be giving readers twice the page count, twice the creative firepower, and twice the scale of a standard comics crossover -- all while hopefully redefining expectations of what these kinds of stories can accomplish. For fans new and old, Harbinger Wars 2 will be the ultimate introduction to the Valiant Universe and its greatest characters from a truly all-star group of some of the most talented creators -- Matt Kindt, Eric Heisserer, Tomás Giorello, and Raúl Allen -- working anywhere in the medium today."
Here's how the event is described:
"For the rare and immensely powerful subset of humanity known as psiots, their unique abilities have come with an enormous cost. Once, their existence was known only to a select few. Now, the revelation that thousands of these latent telekinetic 'harbingers' secretly live among us with the potential to become active any moment has led the American government to a dramatic tipping point...
"Armed with new extra-governmental authority, the deep-black military contractor known as OMEN as been authorized to identify, evaluate, and, if need be, eliminate all super-normal threats to the homeland. H.A.R.D. Corps units have been deployed into cities and towns across the United States to enforce their orders.
"In the east, one of the most powerful minds on Earth, Peter Stanchek, is leading his band of Renegades across the country, activating any potential psiots willing to join them, and building an insurrection force of ultra-powerful and unwieldy new powers that will soon bring war to OMEN's doorstep... and the unstoppable force known as X-O Manowar raging back to Earth.
In the west, Livewire -- the telekinetic technopath with the ability to bend machines and computers to her will -- will be forced to choose between her former allies... or her newfound team of Secret Weapons. As the situation escalates beyond human control, the United States will be plunged into darkness from coast and coast, launching Bloodshot and Ninjak into a dangerous mission to neutralize their one-time teammate -- and setting the stage for the most shocking, most violent, and most consequential clash of powers ever witnessed in the history of the Valiant Universe!"
