Sturdy, but not remarkable. American Ronin #1 cover American Ronin #1, Peter Milligan and ACO's debut for publisher Artists, Writers & Artisans is an assassin/spy story I'm not sure if Milligan and ACO worked together before or not, but for AWA, they're a well-oiled machine The first issue of American Ronin isn't meaningfully different from a high[...]

Diana follows her implicitly, while Artemis, hard-headed as she is, wants to lead with her axe and think with her muscles.

Gerard Way and Steve Orlando will write the comic, with art by Aco, and a cover by Frank Quitely: A press release from[...]

Jim Cheung will draw the first issue, with subsequent issues to feature Ron Garney, ACO, Phil Noto, Greg Land, and Ramon Rosanos with "more artists yet to be revealed." It could even be you! Who knows?! Marvel is still figuring this out. "The threat facing our heroes touches on all corners of the X-Men mythology," said Marvel[...]

kicks off his solo adventures in a story by James Robinson and ACO But what kinds of secret missions will the modern psychedelic super-spy be tasked with? We've applied Stan Lee's mighty Marvel method to these unlettered preview pages in an attempt to decrypt the code Until Nick Fury #1 hits stores on April 19, this[...]

Marston has scored the announcement of a new Nick Fury series from the creative team of James Robinson and ACO! The comic will feature single issue stories, according to Newsarama's interview with Robinson, rather than writing for the trade However, Robinson did touch on an overarching theme for the book: If there is an overarching thing to[...]
