“Andre and I have spent the last couple of years conjuring an entire brand-new world filled with inspiration, ideas, and imagination,” Bendis said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Inspired by the philosophies of our heroes and our hope for a better world, we introduce you to our exciting new heroes and their varied and dangerous world-changing quests.”
Araujo added: “I drew and drew and drew, and then Brian wrote and wrote and wrote, and something that felt like magic happened.”
Bendis is a five-time Eisner Award winner and the creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, and many other characters and stories; he recently signed an exclusive deal with Dark Horse to publish his creator-owned comics (see “Bendis Moving Creator-Owned Titles to Dark Horse”). Araujo is an architect and comics creator whose most recent title is A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance, co-created with Rick Remender; the first collected volume is due out from Image later this month.
