Preview: History Will Be Re-Written This April in What If: Age of Ultron #1!

Posted on by

This April, the Marvel Universe gets turned upside down in What If? Age of Ultron #1 – the first issue in an explosive weekly limited series, from rising star writer Joe Keatinge and an assembly of the industry’s hottest artists!

In the New York Times Bestselling Age of Ultron, a time-travelling Wolverine killed Hank Pym before he could create the world-conquering robot Ultron. But what would the world look like if a different founding Avenger had been killed instead? Each issue of What If? Age of Ultron imagines a cataclysmic alternate universe without one of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!

What would the world look like without the Wasp? A world where distraught Hank Pym never goes on to create Ultron – and instead ushers in a future even more heinous than the one we know!

History is Re-Written This April in What If: Age of Ultron!

Posted on by

If you thought the Age of Ultron turned the Marvel Universe on its head, you won’t believe what will happen in What If: Age of Ultron, a mind-bending  five-part series from Marvel Comics! They say one person can truly make a difference, and that statement couldn’t ring truer for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. So what if another founding Avenger had died in the Golden Age of Heroes instead of Hank Pym? Could the reality we know endure without one of its strongest pillars? The short answer is—NO!

Each issue of What If: Age of Ultron explores a Marvel Universe without one of it’s greatest champions. Imagine—an Armor Wars without IRON MAN! A RAGNAROK without THOR! A country without CAPTAIN AMERICA! Written by rising star Joe Keatinge and an assembly of tomorrow’s hottest artists, What If: Age of Ultron hits hard with its twisted takes on the Marvel Universe!

Was the Age of Ultron truly the darkest reality that the Avengers could endure?

Image Expo 2014: Shutter, An All-New Urban Fantasy Adventure

Posted on by

Joe Keatinge teams up with artist Leila del Duca for her Image Comics debut in an all-new ongoing series combining urban fantasy and globe-spanning adventure, Shutter.

Kate Kristopher, once the most famous explorer on Earth—an Earth that’s far more fantastical than the one we know, filled with demons, gorgons, phantom ninjas, and various other monsters of lore—is forced to return to the adventurous life she left behind when a family secret threatens to destroy everything she spent her life protecting.

Kate’s character can be described as a contemporary Indiana Jones. Keatinge described the series in a release:

We’re looking at the 21st Century, where it’s at and where it’s going, and considering what the Adventurer for its time might be like—what would Indiana Jones be like if created in 2014? What’s after Lara Croft?. We’re at a much different time than the pulps and serial Indiana Jones and, to an extent, Lara Croft, were rooted in—information from all remote corners of the world comes from great ease, where we’re more knowledgeable about other cultures, where technology enables us to access we could only dream about. Where do you go from there?

Shutter is a new, ongoing fantasy, adventure series coming to Image Comics on April 9, 2014, the first issue of which will feature variant covers by Dustin Weaver, Brandon Graham, and Emma Ríos.

Image Expo 2014: Tech Jacket Returns to Image Comics with an All-New Miniseries

Posted on by

The fan-favorite series Tech Jacket, returns with an all-new three-issue digital miniseries. Written by Joe Keatinge and drawn by Khary Randolph, this miniseries is the perfect introduction to Kirkman and EJ Su’s exciting superhero.

The return of Tech Jacket picks up a bit later than the original run. Keatinge gave some details about the series:

The original Tech Jacket run was largely about Zach having his role as our planet’s Galactic Guardian thrust upon him, fumbling with this new title, unsure of anything he encountered. Here Zach’s firmly in his position—perhaps even getting a little too comfortable with it—and finding out that being Earth’s defender from what lies beyond is more dangerous than he could ever imagine.

Ravaged by the Invincible War, Zach Thompson needs some time away from being Earth’s galactic guardian. But when his vacation doesn’t go as planned, Tech Jacket must return to face a brand new threat.

Tech Jacket, issues 1-3, will all be available exclusively for one week on www.imagecomics.com, before going live across all digital platforms. All three issues will be available simultaneously in 2014.
