Marvel announced at C2E2 today that writer and mma fighter CM Punk will be writing a new, ongoing series at Marvel, following the exploits of Drax. Recently, Punk wrote a story in THOR ANNUAL #1 as well as a story in STRANGE SPORTS STORIES over at Vertigo.
This will be the first time Punk is tackling an ongoing series. DRAX will be hitting the digital and physical market in winter of 2015 and will have a co-writer working with Punk on the book, who has yet to be named..
Ed McGuinness has already put together a cover for issue one, but at this point in time, an artist is also unnamed. This will be the first ongoing solo book not only for Punk but also for Drax.
“CM Punk has proven that he’s the best in the world in the wrestling ring and now he’s out to prove he’s the best in the Marvel Universe. How could you not want to read this book? I couldn’t be more excited for readers to see what Punk has in store for Drax the Destroyer!” – Jon Moisan, Editor
What does Drax do when he’s not saving the universe alongside the likes of Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon and Groot? DESTROY! Obviously. From inside the intergalactic octagon to the far reaches of outer space – experience the bone-crunching solo adventures of the galaxy’s most fearsome guardian as he makes his way through the Marvel Universe! And demolishes anything and everything in his path!
