‘MARVEL KNIGHTS’ returning with several INDIE-CREATOR driven series. MATT KINDT like wut?

Marvel Knights is returning, baby! Back in the day, Marvel Knights arrived on the scene and punched my balls with awesomeness. Maybe it doesn’t hold up (I don’t remember), but the Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada run on Daredevil was one of my favorites at the time. So I’m pretty goddamn excited that the imprint is returning under the tutelage of some indie darlings.

Dormant since 2010′s Spider-Man: Fever series, as revealed by today’s solicitation info the Marvel Knightsimprint is coming back in a big way. It’s a little bit of a different creature than you might remember, though. The imprint will still feature top-tier Marvel characters, but exclusively in mini-series by creators whose names one might associate with creator-owned work.

Marvel announced three such series today: Marvel Knights: Spider-Man by Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT) and Marco Rudy (Swamp Thing), Marvel Knights: X-Men by Brahm Revel (Guerilla) and Marvel Knights: Hulkby Joe Keatinge (Glory) and Piotr Kowalski (Sex).

 

MK: Hulk will be four issues, while the other two series will be five. MK: Spider-Man, which pits Spidey against 99 different villains is first up in October. MK: X-Men, which focuses on Wolverine, Rogue and Kitty Pryde dealing with angry townsfolk as they try to recruit new students at the Jean Grey School, follows in November. Then in December, MK: Hulk finds Bruce Banner on the run from a mysterious pursuer in Paris.
