NRAMA: Looking at something coming up for you - War of the Kings which you mentioned earlier. First off, can you run down how it will all spill out? What leads into it, and how does it play out in terms of titles?

BR: War of Kings is two freight trains locked on a collision course. On side you have Vulcan, the third Summers brother who is swiftly and viciously expanding the Shi'Ar Empire. On the other you have Black Bolt, who -- as you'll see in Secret Invasion: Inhumans -- is, to quote Network, "mad as hell and isn't going to take it anymore." In issue #2 of SI: Inhumans, you saw the seeds planted for an Inhuman/Kree alliance -- and that's going to quickly blossom into a force to be reckoned with.

What sets these two powers on the path to battle? Upcoming issues of X-Men: Kingbreaker, Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova and Secret Invasion: War of Kings gets the snowball rolling into an out of control avalanche that will sweep up heroes, villains and worlds.

It's got a little something for everyone, whether you're into the X-Men, the Inhumans, Marvel's continuing cosmic renaissance, or just kick-butt action. War is ugly and horrific -- so don't expect characters to walk out unchanged or unscathed. Abnett and Lanning are the architects of this sci-fi opera, and they're coming in with all barrels blazing.

NRAMA: What goes into organizing a crossover "event" such as this? Obviously, you've got the experience with Annihilation: Conquest, but yet...how do you start off and try to control it?

BR: It all comes down to story. Let's compare your event to an animal. If you construct a steel spine -- and always make sure everything connects to and supports that -- you can add on the teeth and claws and wings. Months ago, Dan & Andy visited the Marvel offices, where we locked ourselves in a room for two days with Tom Brevoort and Joe Quesada to discuss, argue about and brainstorm. From that, Dan & Andy drafted a blueprint for a story that will evolve the Marvel cosmos to its next stage.

So, yes, there's weeks of planning, hundreds of emails, and enough lists, schedules and reference art to choke a Badoon, but the real job is to keep all the creators informed, communicating, inspired and focused -- the talent and the story takes care of the rest.

NRAMA: What are the pressures of something like War of the Kings in terms of its reach? It's obviously got an inherent "cast" in space, but is there a tug to make it even more wide-reaching and pull in a few more books?

BR: Again, it's the story that drives everything. Are we tempted to add on additional titles and characters? Sure, but not at the expense of the story. Everything must be integral and necessary -- all fat must be cut -- otherwise it becomes bloated and meaningless. And we owe our readers and these characters too much to do that. We're not under pressure from Publishing and Marketing to generate X many titles -- but we are pushing ourselves to create something we can be proud of.

А можно узнать когда выходит 1-й номер и чек-лист я так понимаю будет в конце 1-го номера?

[QWANT]

red hulk,
Я написал все, что известно на сегодняшний день.

[diableried]

аргх! самое ожидаемое мной от марвела. дажеконец SI так не жду)
очень надеюсь на появление серфера. а то он как-то ушел из виду...

[Silver]

Новый арт на тему противостояние двух королей - Грома и Вулкана.

[QWANT]

ОФФ-ТОП:
Новый? Ему уже
а) 100 лет
б) на главной 100 лет уже висит

[Shargor]

Стало оффициально известно, что сей эвент будет рисовать художник гардианов Пол Пеллетерье. Так же за его авторством будет и пролог. Само интервью малоинформативно и ничем не примечательно. Собственно, как обычно с художниками и бывает.
Если честно, могли бы и кого получше подобрать Уже второй космический эвент будет сдобрен не самым лучшим рисунком...

[sp888]

Мда, говеный арт перекачивал из Гардианов в эвент. А учитыая, что Марвеловская версия Абнетта и Лэннинга только и умеет, что лажать - нас ждет лажа =(

[Silver]

Ну да, не Алекс Росс, и даже не Сильвестри.

А жаловаться вроде тоже не стоит, событие не самое великое, сама прорисовка не-вырви-глаз,
гладко, немного МакГинесса напоминает, да и приятно, в целом.

[QWANT]

sp888,
Йап, арт ужасен, но Абнетт и Лэннинг умеют, когда захотят. В тех же Гардианах было несколько неплохих номеров.

[sp888]

QWANT, ты последний номер читал? Я все могу понять, но Ящерицы? Вообще что стало с людьми - что так сложно тупо столкнуть Вулкана и Ронона, а родственники (Нелюди) сами на помощь прибегут? Эх =(

[QWANT]

sp888,
Йап.
Я вообще имел в виду ранние выпуски. А все, начиная с Вторжения они залажали, кроме Питера. ИМАО. Это неплохо)

In the aftermath of the Secret Invasion, Black Bolt has led the Inhumans on a shockingly savage path to restore their strength and security. But that path has brought them into direct confrontation with the Shi’Ar Empire – and their mad ruler Vulcan! Who will get in the first strike? Who will fall on the bloody battlefield? Who will rule? The Imperial Guard, the Starjammers, the Inhuman Royal Family and more of your favorite sci-fi characters are locked on a collision course…and it all starts here! Join the acclaimed team of Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (NOVA) and Paul Pelletier (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) for a pivotal turning point in Marvel’s
cosmic history!

Я так понимаю обложки особой смысловой нагрузки не несут, тот же Бластаар в Гардианах сейчас собирается успешно отбиваться от самих Гардианов.

Кристал и Лиландра на первой обложке ужасно изогнулись 0_0
