De Mark Millar/Dave Gibbons hook up

Mark Millar, ons allen nog wel bekend als de bedenker/schrijver van Kick-Ass, heeft een nieuw project aangekondigd met Dave Gibbons. Gibbons maakte in 1986 furore als illustrator van wat nu toch wel de meest bekende comic ooit is onder niet-comiclezers: Watchmen. Titel van het project? The Secret Service.

Het project is way back in november al aangekondigd, maar eindelijk is het zo ver. In februari van het komende jaar is issue 1 te koop.

We don't want to give too much away at this stage. We've got a charity auction to name the super-villain going live later today, but otherwise you won't hear anything else about The Secret Service until the middle of November when 'CLiNT' #12 has a massive interview and preview of the series. Highlights of this will be revealed exclusively on CBR on the day of release, but the main promotion on the Millarworld 2012 books begins in January.

Millar herrinerde ons ook nog even aan het rijtje andere comics die binnenkort nog uitkomen;

Our 2012 line-up includes 'Kick-Ass 2' with John Romita, 'Supercrooks' with Leinil Yu, 'The Secret Service' with Dave Gibbons, 'Nemesis 2' with Steve McNiven and a massive brand new superhero epic by Frank Quitely," Millar reminded. "We'll be previewing all these books in a massive CBR piece in January as I go full-time in Millarworld. But I don't think there's a company out there with as high a concentration of A-list artists as our plans for next year. It's very exciting.
