“DEVOLUTION is a return to the pulp/grindhouse science fiction I built my career on starting with FEAR AGENT (and that’s also infused VENOM, SECRET AVENGERS, and UNCANNY X-FORCE),” says writer Rick Remender. “I came up with DEVOLUTION around the same time as FEAR AGENT and it’s been percolating for years. It’s incredibly fulfilling finally to be able to dive in with super talent Paul Renaud. He’s a tremendously gifted and intelligent collaborator. I wouldn’t have done the series without Paul and I appreciate Nick and Dynamite being so patient while we waited for the planets-and schedules-to align and make this project possible. Joining us will be my FEAR AGENT colorist Lee Loughridge and letterer Rus Wooton, longtime friends and collaborators who I respect and trust. I’m also blown away by the artists Nick has lined up for the covers as well, ranging, in alphabetical order, from Jae Lee to Alex Ross to Ryan Sook: The series will be loaded with A-list talent. We’ve got a very exciting story to tell with a heavy dose of high-octane action, character drama, a world of strange reverse mutations, and social commentary as we follow the last tribe of humans inoculated from the devolution agent as they set out on a desperate journey to try to find a way to re-evolve life on Earth.”

“Devolution is a dream project Rick Remender and I have been talking about for five years or so now,” says Devolution artist Paul Renaud. “From our early talks about our mutual love for the EC comics and adventure comics of the 50′s, it grew into a larger template where we could actually show the whole world as an hostile deadly force. As such it has become the major player in the story. After more than two hundred covers for more comics than I could name, I finally told Nick Barrucci I was really into going back to drawing a book, and doing that with Rick is exactly what I needed. Nick and Dynamite had been very excited about doing that project from the start many moons ago, and he’s played a major role into setting the whole thing in motion. We all knew such a book would require the best of us, and making this happening now is just a blast.”

“In the long, unwritten history of Dynamite, one thing to note is that it was Rick Remender himself that introduced us to Paul’s work – the pair put together a fine Sonja one-shot for us called Vacant Shell,” adds Dynamite Editor Joe Rybandt. “And now here we are, working with the pair of them again, each at the top of their game and Rick at the top of the charts with his marvel work.”

“Devolution is one of the most important series that we are launching next year. It’s been about 5 years in the making, with discussions beginning shortly after Rick and Paul worked on a fantastic Red Sonja One Shot entitled Vacant Shell. It’s taken a bit, and with Rick and Paul just getting better and better as story tellers, I can confidently say that it’s absolutely work the wait. Rick’s story is incredible, and Paul’s art is nothing short of fantastic. It’s truly gratifying to be able to show the series to the world. And announcing as Rick’s Uncanny Avengers #1 is hitting, with the reported 300,000 in sales, helps bring more attention to a great project. I can’t be more excited about this series! and honored to be working with Rick, Paul and the entire team.” States Dynamite President and Publisher Nick Barrucci.

THE BIONIC WOMAN #1
Written by Paul Tobin, art by Leno Carvalho, cover by Paul Renaud.

Paris is the city of love? Not anymore… not since Jaime Sommers, the Bionic Woman, came to town hot on the trail of the Mission, a collection of insanely high-priced surgeons who’ve been murdering OSI’s bionic prototypes in order to provide new life for billionaire patients. But while the Bionic Woman is hunting the Mission, their #1 hunter is after her! Can Jaime pick up the pieces of her past while protecting her life in the present, or will the city of love turn its back, and its bullets, on the Bionic Woman?

This is my first cover for the new Lord of the Jungle series from
Dynamite Entertainment.
I’m one of the monthly cover artists here, and very happy about it.
Here for the announcement :

LORD OF THE JUNGLE BEGINS IN DECEMBER!
EXPANSION OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGH’S CLASSIC TALE!

September 21, 2011, Runnemede, NJ – The original Lord of the Jungle
returns! Dynamite is proud to announce the December release of Lord of
the Jungle! Dynamite’s Lord of the Jungle is true to Edgar Rice
Burroughs original tale, savage, violent, and uncensored for the first
time in its 100 year history! We are so proud and excited about this
book, that we are offering the first FULL issue for the introductory
price of just $1.00!

Based on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure story, Tarzan of
the Apes, the first of his famous series, which initially began
publication in All Story Magazine in 1912. The saga of Greystoke
begins in December, written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Roberto
Castro, and featuring covers by Alex Ross, Lucio Parillo, Ryan Sook,
and Paul Renaud!

“Tarzan’s DNA is in everything from super heroes to space epics,” says
writer Arvid Nelson. “But I was surprised at how little I knew about
him, because the many adaptations wander very far from the original
character. His true story is so much deeper and more interesting –
that’s we’re trying to bring to life in Lord of the Jungle.”

“To allow the series to be accessible to fans old and new, we are
offering the first issue at the Introductory Price of $1.00 for the
full ENTIRE 32 page comic, as well as dedicating both of the Dynamite
front gate folds of the October shipping Previews Magazine to our
launch,” says Dynamite Entertainment President and Publisher Nick
Barrucci. “Get on board for the biggest comic book launch this
December!”
