 Forget four on the floor—Dynamite puts four on the shelves with a quartet of fantastic fronts on the cover of its upcoming Black Terror #1.
One of the breakout characters from Project Superpowers, the Black Terror gets his own miniseries, kicking off in October, from Dynamite Entertainment, courtesy of co-writers Jim Krueger, Alex Ross and artist Mike Lilly.
Ross, regular cover artist on PSP and all its spinoffs, will be joined on covers for issue #1 by none other than artists extraordinaire Tim Sale (Captain America: White), Greg Land (Uncanny X-Men) and legendary Spider-Man artist John Romita Sr. So if you want to judge this book by its covers, we say you can't do any better than this talent lineup!
But of all the PSP stars, what makes the Black Terror—who Ross and Krueger describe as sort of "Superman/Punisher/pirate hybrid"—the right character to launch these spinoffs?
"I came to really dig him," notes Ross of the character, who, branded as a terrorist in the first PSP mini, goes underground to take on the powers that be in his own book, specifically the U.S. President! "[Artist] Carlos [Paul] did a great job drawing him in the main book, and Mike Lilly is doing a phenomenal job on this series. He's got a great design; the Punisher owes something to him with that big skull. But it's got more to do with a lead superhero archetype that is a character who is consumed with doing right, but he's pretty pissed off about how wrong things are. And it allows you to take that archetype in a direction that isn't happening on a normal basis."
Look for more on Black Terror on WizardUniverse.com leading up to the series launch in October, and be on the lookout for more minis, starring 'Death Defying Devil and Masquerade, later in the fall, as well as a PSP sequel in the upcoming months!
