In March, IDW will release "Shotgun Wedding," it is a bi-weekly, four issue series. This will contain stories about the team, after they've already become "The A-Team."The original stories penned and inked by some of the industry's biggest names, will give fans an in-depth look at the upcoming action-adventure from Twentieth Century Fox - The A-Team - which will hit theatres June 11, 2010. Each series will be available as single issues in March and April, and collected into individual graphic novels in May.
In addition, there will be another book featuring stories from members of the A-Team. This book will be called "War Stories" and will also debut in March feature Hannibal and B.A. for the first issue. Each issue will feature stories from two of the members of the team.This original adventure, co-plotted by the movie's director, Joe Carnahan, and Waltz (who also handles the scripting) follows the team from frigid Alaska to sunny San Diego and onto a wedding cruise that becomes utter chaos. Artist Stephen Mooney (Angel: After the Fall) adds heat to every explosion, while John K. Snyder III offers eye-catching covers.
These books will be collected into a graphic novel in May, and hopefully it will feature at least one scene of welding. All of these characters will be based off of their movie counterparts, so you will not see Mr. T, you'll see Quentin Jackson.Co-written by comics great Chuck Dixon (G.I. JOE) and Erik Burnham (Nanovor: Game Day), the series kicks off with Hannibal and B.A. in March, followed by Face and Murdock in April. Hugo Petrus (Marvel Illustrated) will provide interior art for Hannibal, and Casey Maloney (G.I. JOE: Rise of Cobra) tackles B.A. in March. In April, Alberto Muriel (Legion: Prophets) revives Face, followed by Guiu Vilanova (After the Fire), who delivers Murdock. Fan-favorite artist Michael Gaydos (Alias) will provide covers for every issue
Anyone excited for explosions and welding? Tell us what you guys think!
