Marvel issues the following press release:
The very fabric of the Marvel Universe is changing and the Architects are the ones leading the charge! Marvel’s Architects initiative spotlights the writers and artists telling the most exciting and impactful stories that rock the Marvel Universe to its very core every month.
But just who are the writers in Marvel’s Architects?
·Brian Michael Bendis, writer of AVENGERS, NEW AVENGERS, Death of Spider-Man, the upcoming MOON KNIGHT and an upcoming top secret project
·Matt Fraction, writer of THOR, INVINCIBLE IRON MAN, and a top secret upcoming event
·Ed Brubaker, writer of CAPTAIN AMERICA, SECRET AVENGERS and top secret upcoming new series
·Jonathan Hickman, writer of FANTASTIC FOUR, S.H.I.E.L.D. and a top secret upcoming new series
·Jason Aaron, writer of WOLVERINE, ASTONISHING SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE and a top secret upcoming new series
“These are five of the top writers in comics and they’re writing some of the best Marvel comics ever” said C.B. Cebulski, SVP Creator & Content Development. “Each of their projects lays the groundwork for the future of the Marvel Universe and in 2011, their plans—which are being seeded in their current work as we speak—will come to fruition. There’s never been a better time to be a Marvel fan.”
Skitch Commentary: I think it’s a cool idea to have a advertising initiative that revolves around the writers. Like them or hate them, these five have a tremendous amount of power in shaping the Marvel Universe right now, and I think it’s pretty cool that Marvel is acknowledging that and putting their marketing push behind this.
So let’s start speculating on the “top secret” projects. I’m thinking Tiny Sized Man-Thing, Howard the Duck, Wolverine the Watcher, Night Nurse, and probably another Deadpool series.
