Hitch and Ross Market ‘America’s Got Powers’ As ‘Twice As Much As Marvel For $1 Less’

Bryan Hitch left Marvel after a solid decade, and now he’s taking swings at the old joint. Marketing up his new creator-owned with Jonathan Ross, the two of them are promising it’ll have way more wiz-bang for way less wiz-buck.

Seemingly unafraid to throw themselves into the middle of a somewhat controversial topic with abandon, creators Jonathan Ross and Bryan Hitch have announced that the first issue of their upcoming Image Comics series America’s Got Powers will feature “twice as much [content] as Marvel for a dollar less,” with thirty-eight pages of comics for just $2.99 when it arrives in stores next month.

In a press release, artist Bryan Hitch – who has spent the last decade working for Marvel Comics – explains that “Normally a book this size would be at least $3.99 but that didn’t seem fair to us. It was our decision to make the first issue this big and it’s not right to ask you guys to pay extra for it. We are proud of AMERICA’S GOT POWERS, insanely proud and we want to pass that on. Big time. We’re just another small business like many of the retailers and we believe completely in the story we’re trying to tell so instead of putting out a 20 page issue and asking you to pay $3.99 for it, we’re giving you nearly DOUBLE that for a dollar less.”

I’m actually more entertained by their volleys than I am the actual premise of America’s Got Powers. A title, which at this point, I’m not even sure I’m going to snag. How about you folks? What do you think of their jabs? The comic? The snow in New England?
