Creator Of Deadpool, Cable and X-Force Rob Liefeld Launching New Six-Part Comic Series MAJOR X With Marvel
Entertainment Weekly revealed a brand new partnership with Marvel and legendary comic creator Rob Liefeld to launch a brand new Comic Series, Major X. (https://ew.com/books/2019/01/
The new Marvel published Comic is a brand new X-character event from the creator of Deadpool, Cable, X-Force, and Domino, that recalls the 90’s era art and storytelling that Liefeld made so popular. It is a 6 part event mini-series, shipping twice a month from April to June scripted and drawn by Liefeld with additional art from Whilce Portacio (X-Men, Image Comics) and newcomer Brent Peebles (Teen Titans), in his Marvel debut. It introduces never before seen conflicts and a whole new world of characters in a realm called the X-istence alongside already long established characters like Cable and Wolverine.
“To me, the X-Men have always thrived on big ideas, crazy ideas,” Liefeld said in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly. “Major X introduces a new character who is certain to mix up everything in the X-world. He hails from another existence, which is called the ‘X-istence’ — a mutant Shangri-La, a safe haven that has been a realm where mutant kind has lived in peace and harmony. They escaped there following a tragedy that befell mutant kind, and built this community…but then a terrible event happens within the X-istence that causes Major X to cross over and land in the Marvel Universe that we know.”
C.B. Cebulski, Editor-in-Chief of Marvel, said “I still remember when Rob made his Marvel debut, and the impact his art and storytelling had on comics. The energy and enthusiasm Rob brings to comics and every page he draws is still felt to this day, and it’s a joy to have him return to his roots with the X-Men. Rob may have started developing these X-ideas 30 years ago, but his story will leave an indelible mark on our modern mutants!”
The mystery of MAJOR X begins this April. Head to Marvel.com for more information.
