The Cull: Behind The Scenes Part 4

The world is pretty scary right now and I hope all of you are doing okay out there. To be honest, everything feels a little weird right now and posting promo material for comics feels extra weird…but this is my life and so I gotta keep living it, y’know?

And for those of you that read this week’s BLACK WIDOW #14…uh, I’m sorry? Eeeek! If I’m honest, I think it’s one of the best issues of our Black Widow run and one of the best issues I’ve ever written for Marvel…but I know that ending was brutal. Try not to lose faith!

On the creator-owned side, we’ve been slowly rolling out some fun process videos and designs by THE CULL’S incredible artist/colorist and series co-creator Mattia De Iulis! This is the last of our promos for the four main characters we showed you when we first announced the project (although… is there a secret fifth character you haven’t seen yet? omg. yes, there is!)

But first, please check out WADE QUAN. Twin to sister Will, Wade is an exceptional and unconventional young woman and I can’t wait for you guys to meet her:

And here’s an awesome painting process video from Mattia of Wade:

And of course, if you missed it in the original post about these projects, here is a promo page from THE CULL by Mattia de Iulis:

I think that’s all I’ve got in me for this week, guys, but there’s an ALL-NEW CHAPTER of BLACK CLOAK up on Monday. So that’s…something to look forward to, right?

And since we’ve had an awesome influx of new readers — “Hi, new readers!” this past month, I’m going to link to both Chapter 1 of BLACK CLOAK here and also to the short comic on Gun Violence “5-4-3-2-1” that David LaFuente and I did, which people are really responding to.

Love you guys and thank you all for your support on these projects. It means the world.

Be safe out there and hold tight to those you love.
