This is what the kids call a self own isn’t it? No matter how many jokes SOMEONE makes about The Rob and his newest creation, MAJOR X #1 is selling well. Great for everyone involved! Wish they would move some of that enthusiasm towards the innovation of AGE OF X-MAN instead of regurgitating ideas from the 90s, but how, who am I to argue with the free market?
Just look at how The Rob has laid out this page, running from the feet, to the balls, to the face, and then using lettering to loop the reader back around and experiance the page. It is spreads like this that feel built specifically for Strip Pannel Naked.
We also get our first look at an unmasked Major X and our money is still on Ultimate Stryfe. I’m pretty sure this is 100% wrong but, hey, it is fun to pretend. The book has sold enough to go into second printings, so good for the team. The comercial viability of this project is absoutly astonishing to some, but The Rob is a big deal in our post-Deadpool world. The best we can hope is that The Rob forces is private con security to dress like Major X for the rest of his career.
You can read the full pres release here! MAJOR X #1 comes out next week and we are excited for the people who are excited about it.
Press Release
New York, NY—March 29th, 2019—Industry great Rob Liefeld holds a significant place in Marvel history thanks to his creations of iconic X-Men characters like Cable and Deadpool – and in his upcoming new series MAJOR X, Liefeld creates his first new Marvel character in three decades, introducing a new force into the X-Men universe!
“He hails from another existence, which is called the ‘X-istence’ — a mutant Shangri-La, a safe haven that has been a realm where mutantkind has lived in peace and harmony,” Liefeld teased to EW of the new character in a recent interview. “There are some familiar faces that he has forged this other society with. But then a terrible event happens within the X-istence that causes Major X to cross over and land in the Marvel Universe that we know.”
Buzz among critics and fans alike is already high in anticipation for Liefeld’s return to the X-Men, and Marvel is excited to announce that ahead of its launch on April 3rd, MAJOR X #1 has already sold out and will return to comic shops for a second printing!
