DAN JURGENS' SOLAR
Dan Jurgens: In the Mouth of
Madness
Where does one go after destroying,
resurrecting, and then dismantling a superman? For Dan Jurgens, he
steps into the hands of a god!
This March, Dan Jurgens takes over as writer
and penciller for Acclaim Comics' Solar, Man of The Atom.
Issue #46 kicks off Jurgens' "Brave New World" storyline, a five part
epic promising entirely new territory for Solar to explore. Old fans
will receive a rude awakening while new fans can expect the unexpected,
all on a world that bears more than just a passing resemblance to our
own.
The world is now populated by many
super-powered people, none of whom have ever appeared in a Valiant
comic before. In this world, the presence of these unusual beings has
made war a rarity. The money for obsolete militia has been spent on
scientific research and development. The world is a peaceful, fantastic
place. But there is a presence which threatens the balance. A presence
as powerful as all creation. The new Solar walks the planet - a god
dressed in black!
As everyone knows, when gods and heroes
collide, there is bound to be a conflict of territory. "Solar's
evolution as a person and powerful hero will continue." Says Jurgens,
"Does he keep his hand in matters, or let nature run its course at the
risk of disaster?" Jurgens intends on forcing Phil Seleski to make
choices - choices that upset his balance between humanity and divinity.
Joining Jurgens will be legendary inker, Dick
Giordano with computer colors provided by Greg Wright and Digital
Chameleon. All the fantastic action is on the shelves right now as part
of Valiant's BIRTHQUAKE!
