At the Angoulême International Comics Festival Joe Quesada has revealed the ambitious plans for his new Amazing Comics venture. The new publishing outfit was first announced at SDCC 2025.
“Amazing Comics has been living in my creative journal since 2005 — I always knew it was in my future,” said Quesada. “Having the opportunity to help rebuild Marvel and later become part of the Disney family was one of the greatest highlights of my career. It allowed me to play in almost every creative sandbox imaginable and collaborate with some of the most brilliant talents on the planet. Now, I get to take everything I’ve learned over two-plus decades at Marvel and pour it into Amazing Comics, bringing many of those incredible creators along with me. Our mission is simple: to tell great stories with stunning art and to build a true community between Amazing and our readers.”
The slate features comic books written by some of the biggest names in the entertainment and comic book industries, including:
Derek Kolstad, the writer and creator of John Wick and Nobody;
J. Michael Straczynski, the creator of Babylon 5, co-writer of the TV series Sence8, screenwriter of Clint Eastwood’s Changeling and the MCU Thor film;
Steven Paul Judd, the writer on Dark Winds and Echo television shows;
Christopher Priest, legendary writer of Black Panther and Deadpool for Marvel Comics;
Garth Ennis, writer and co-creator of The Boys and Preacher comic books;
Ethan Sacks, writer of Star Wars for Marvel Comics and co-writer of the acclaimed Image Comics series A Haunted Girl;
Charles Dorfman, writer and director of Barbarians, was an Associate Producer on the Academy Award-winning The King’s Speech and producer of the Oscar-nominated The Lost Daughter.
Upcoming Amazing Comics will be illustrated by all-star artists, including Quesada himself, as well as:
Esad Ribic, artist on Marvel’s Secret Wars, Silver Surfer: Requiem, X-Men and Thor for Marvel Comics;
Ryan Stegman, artist on Venom, The King in Black, X-Men, Vanish, and Missionary
Ronan Toulhoat, artist of the immensely popular European albums Daemon and Dog Head
Amazing Comics’ inaugural title, DISCIPLE, was announced last year at Comic-Con International in San Diego by Amazing Comics, Dupuis, and Mad Cave Studios. Quesada and Dorfman will co-write the much-anticipated reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Dorfman will be making his comics debut with the series illustrated by Quesada and inker Wade von Grawbadger, with colorist Richard Isanove and letterer Joe Caramagna. |
