Comedian guide creator Mark Millar has a brand new mission coming to the Millarworld universe. It’s titled The Ambassadors, and it’s described as “Willy Wonka with superpowers.” That was sufficient to pique my curiosity within the comedian, however there are extra particulars to share!
In line with The Hollywood Reporter, “The Ambassadors follows six characters from six totally different nations, who stay in a world the place a Korean billionaire scientist has cracked the code to create superhumans. This scientist publicizes that she is going to flip six extraordinary people into superhumans, which sparks a world competitors to be one of many fortunate six.”
This sounds prefer it may very well be a enjoyable comedian, however lately I discover myself studying extra tales that don’t contain superheroes as a result of superhero tales aren’t as attention-grabbing as they was once. However, Miller is attempting to do one thing totally different with this story and make it distinctive and attention-grabbing.
Miller mentioned in an announcement: “We have seen the three-act American superhero origin story rather a lot over the previous 22 years and persons are simply in search of one thing somewhat totally different now. That is the place the rewards lie and the concept of a super-team primarily based out of Korea simply feels contemporary. It additionally provides us an incredible probability to make use of native expertise in these nations and construct up the profile of the characters internationally, spinning them off into their very own initiatives and making it a fair greater deal once we convey them again collectively once more. You possibly can solely do that factor on a streamer so it completely takes benefit of the format in a means we’ve not seen earlier than.”
The artists hooked up to the comedian mission embrace Frank Quitely, Travis Charest, Olivier Coipel, Matteo Scalera, Matteo Buffagni, and Karl Kerschl, who will every draw one subject of the collection.
The Ambassadors shall be printed by Picture Comics, and you will get somewhat preview of it beneath. It arrives in March.
