MARVEL COMICS' HELLIONS

Marvel Comics has announced a March launch for Hellions, from writer Zeb Wells and artist Stephen Segovia.

Here's how Marvel describes the book:

"When the X-Men invited all mutants to Krakoa, they meant all mutants, even forgiving the past sins of some of their fiercest enemies. Chief among them was Mister Sinister, who now tasks himself with finding purpose for mutantkind's most dangerous outcasts: Wild Child, Nanny, Orphan Maker, Empath, and Scalphunter! Also on hand to do Sinister's dirty work will be X-Men favorites Psylocke and Havok! Will they be able keep these murderous baddies in line or will the team's deadly missions have them succumb to their own sinister natures?"

"I can't believe I get a chance to play in the sandbox Jonathan Hickman and company have so brilliantly created," Wells said. "For my money it's the most exciting game in town and I can't wait to let this merry band of psychopaths loose in it.h

"I am huge fan of Zeb Wells' work. The moment I read his Hellions pitch, I was blown away," Segovia said. "It's a new level of mutant stories and I was overjoyed and pumped to begin drawing it immediately. I can't wait for you guys to see the magic we're cooking up and I promise you'll enjoy the ride!"
