Just in time for San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) International 2015, writer-artist and comics legend Jim Starlin announced to Hollywood Reporter that he was bringing back his fan fave creation Dreadstar to comics while a TV series for the character was in development.
Jim Starlin noted that:
- “I’ve been poking around an idea and with the TV show in development, I can start in on it.”
“Drawing for me is a love-hate thing. It’s a younger person’s job. And so I tend to write for other people. But with this particular thing, I’m at a point financially that I can do whatever I want to at this point… and this is what I want to do. Right now I’m trying to decide what I want to Dreadstar’s uniform to look like.”
It is not clear if this is a continuation of his previous series or a reboot of some kind.
2016 also caps off Jim Starlin’s Thanos and Infinity [add subtitle here as there are so many ;) ] run for Marvel with Thanos: The Infinity Finale.
