A word about BLACK WIDOW.
14 Jun
Yes, I’m leaving Black Widow. I feel sad about it, as I love writing Natasha (and working with Daniel Acuna, who is genius)—but the truth of the matter is that I also write three or four novels a year. This year, that number could jump to five. Plus, there’s Dark Wolverine, and I’ve committed to a full year of X-23. That’s a lot of writing.
I would, however, like to clarify something: I was up front with Marvel when they asked me to write Black Widow. It was always the plan that I would develop only the first arc. I told them from the beginning that I didn’t have time for anything more.
I’m thrilled, though, that Duane is taking over the book. He’s one of my favorite writers, and if you aren’t reading his novels—and his comic book work—then you are depriving yourself of a wonderful storyteller.
That said, check out the previews for both Black Widow #3 and Dark Wolverine #87! Coming out this Wednesday (on my birthday, no less).
A pyrokinetic and former car thief, Eddie cannot refuse an assignment to cross the continent in order to rescue an extraordinary woman in peril…even though he fears losing control of the destructive power of flame at his fingertips.
The last of her shape-shifting kind, Lyssa hides in the abandoned tunnels beneath Manhattan. Like Eddie, fire is her weapon, her destiny…and her curse. For beneath Lyssa’s extraordinary beauty are dangerous secrets…and even darker, nearly irresistible urges... (November 2011)
When the bond Maxine Kiss shares with Zee and the boys-the demons tattooed on her skin-is deliberately severed, the hunter is left vulnerable and unprotected. For the first time in ten thousand years, the boys have a taste of freedom-without Maxine’s guiding influence.
As they grow more violent and unpredictable, Maxine starts to fear the little demons will lose their minds without their attachment to her. But reuniting won’t be easy, as a great temptation waits for her little demons : a chance to return to their lives….and unleash hell on earth. (December 2011)
Man, I dunno how you manage it. I’ve got my hands full just with writing the books-adding in something else? Yikes…
Happy birthday
Very sad to hear you’re leaving. I just found out today while reading the Marvel solicitations. I’ll give the book a try with Duane, but a big part of why I loved it was you.
