Two fantastic creators are returning to Marvel for an intriguing mini-series. I am pleased. The gentlemen in question are Christopher Priest and Joe Quesada. The comic is, "Marvel Knights: The World to Come," and it will be a six-issue series set in a possible future of Marvel and Wakanda in particular. I like the sounds of all of this.
Christopher Priest has been writing comics for longer than I've been alive--and pretty much anything he does is excellent. Priest has the ability to take a character I don't care about and make me excited or take characters I love and get me even more pumped. It would take forever to list all he's written, so I'll just shout out his recent work on, "Deathstroke," and his current, 'Vampirella," comics as being worth checking out. Joe Quesada is a skilled artist who also co-founded the Marvel Knights imprint and eventually rose to the position of editor-in-chief at Marvel before moving on to some other projects and positions--his time at Marvel was extremely productive and is fondly remembered though (occasional misfire aside like, "One More Day," which he heavily pushed for). Both men have a history with Marvel (Priest's run on, "Black Panther," was beloved) and I am a fan of their work so seeing they'll be teaming up is quite cool.
I enjoy alternate universe stories in the Marvel Universe because the story can do things that can't happen in the, "Regular," World. I love Priest's work and I am a big fan of Quesada's art. This makes, "Marvel Knights: The World to Come," sound like something I'm going to adore. I mean, it could be bad, but the odds are my excitement is warranted. We'll see in June!
