We'd had the first inaugural panel to introduce the company to the public. At that point, their first publication was "Frank Miller's Holy Terror," which had originally been a Batman book. As far as "The Tower Chronicles," we didn't have any art. We only had my story outline and the original scripting, so we needed a piece of art. So Thomas contacted Simon.  He did this one panel as a PR piece, and he just so nailed the character right out of the gate in a single image, which is very tough to do. We didn't think he could do [the series], but he said yes.

But the final piece of the puzzle involved both math and some creative curating. The innovative deal that Marvel and Merrill Lynch slowly put together, and finally announced in April 2005, was nonrecourse financing. That meant that Marvel wouldn't have to put up any cash, but would receive $525 million over an eight-year period to make movies from 10 characters: Ant-Man, the Avengers, Black Panther, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Power Pack, and, lastly, Shang-Chi, the Master of Kung Fu.
