Le scénariste Jason Aaron retrouve le dessinateur/encreur Ron Garney (Get Mystique, Wolverine: Weapon X, Ultimate Captain America, Thor: Gods of Thunder) sur Men of Wrath, une nouvelle mini-série « Creator Owned » (la première pour Garney en plus de 20 ans de carrière) qui sera publiée sous le label Icon de Marvel Comics.
Cette histoire en cinq chapitres raconte l’histoire du tueur à gage Ira Rath et des difficultés familiales qui l’ont amené à devenir l’homme violent qu’il est aujourd’hui.
Si le succès est au rendez-vous, cette première mini-série pourrait être suivie d’une deuxième, probablement titrée « Women of Wrath ». Men of Wrath #1 sortira en octobre.
[quote=« Ron Garney »]I really don’t enjoy working with Jason at all. He’s kind of an asshole. [Laughs] I’m just kidding. I’m getting him back for an interview he gave about me many years ago.
When I read the stuff that Jason comes up with, or he tells me about it on the phone, or whatever, I can instantly connect to it. Whereas some other scripts take me a little time to get my head around them. I felt like that with one of the projects I did last year; that my head wasn’t quite where it needed to be, but with Jason’s stuff I connect with it right away for some reason.[/quote]
